Overview

The story of the Arachni Empire is one shrouded in mystery, where did they come from? How did they get here? UNTIL has gathered a series of recordings from former Arachni strongholds in Germany, New Jersey, and Russia along with detailed history that has shed light on this new threat. The Arachni is an empire native to an alternate earth with similarities, and differences to our own earth. Their world is known as Alternate Earth 61944, affectionately called "Nazi Earth"

History

World War 2

The empire's history began in the midst of the second World War. The Axis Forces were in heavy conflict with The Allies and it had appeared that the former was losing, Italy had already fallen to the allies and Japan was too busy on the pacific stage combating The United States. Nazi Germany was growing weaker by the months, when a peculiar event changed history forever. In April of 1943 an alien craft of unknown origin fell from space before the eyes of billions, and crash landed in the North Sea. The entire world was awestruck and for a moment forgot the war they were a part of. However a massive naval battle occurred in the North Sea only a month later between The British and The Germans, both were vying for the wrecked craft. The battle was immediately in Axis favor due to the proximity from Nazi Controlled boarders and open ocean. While the battle raged on the surface, Hitler had secretly dispatched submarines to the alien wreckage below the waves. The operation was indeed successful as soon Allied forces retreated from the area after suffering heavy casualties.

The wreckage was hauled up and eventually transported to Berlin, Germany in December that year. For the entirety of December and the beginning months of 1944 Hitler had his greatest scientists working on what was found within the wreckage, all occupants of the ship were dead, however their weapons and technology was in perfect shape. Eventually the Nazis were able to reverse engineer the technology into a new breed of weapons and war vehicles, which would see it's first world debut in June, 1944.

D-Day

On June 6th, 1944. The Allied forces attempted to land in Normandy by air and by sea, months prior they had enacted events that would convince Adolf Hitler of a different invasion location. They would have succeeded too, however Hitler was tipped off by a unknown spy of the Allies true intentions. Only a few days before the Normandy Invasion, the Nazis had gathered their new alien weapons and vehicles for their first test run. The Allies stormed the beachheads and dropped in by air only to be met with 100,000 newly armed Nazi troopers.

The following battle became one of the greatest massacres in history, The allied forces stood little chance against the Nazi's superior firepower. Over 150,000 allied soldiers were killed, and those who were spared were either captured or allowed to leave on the basis that they share their story with the allied nations. When word got out of the Operation: Neptune massacre it sent many leaders on the European Stage into a panic. Demoralization was rampant among soldiers and resistance was little. The Nazi Empire once more began to expand outward and on the offense, armed with new weapons the likes of which were never seen.

Fall Of The European Stage

The Nazi armies swept across Europe like a dark shadow, reclaiming territories that were lost to the allies in the past. Italy was their first target, in the fall of 1944 the Nazi Army attacked Rome and Sicily, which were occupied by Allied forces at the time. Former Axis member Benito Mussolini was imprisoned after the Allies attacked Italy in 1943, but that would soon change. As Nazi forces assaulted Rome and Sicily, German Special Forces would rescue Mussolini in the Gran Sasso raid and transport him back to Berlin. Rome and Sicily fell the same week as the last of the Allied Forces were killed.

Hitler then turned his attention to Britain.

The Nazi Empire quickly launched their attack on Britain, who at the time was trying to recover from previous losses. The fighting in Britain would last a few months as Nazi forces systematically targeted important cities and brought them down. Soon enough it was time to assault London, however Nazi spies uncovered a secret operation to transport King George VI and prime minister Winston Churchill to America, where a majority of the allies have sought refuge. While Axis Forces set London ablaze with aerial attacks, Hitler dispatched a new weapon, an orbital laser the Nazis had secretly sent into space just weeks prior. Just as the British naval convoy reached the Atlantic Ocean, the sky opened up as a bright red beam shot down and obliterated the convoy in one stroke. At the same time, newly armed Japanese forces pushed back American troops, only to have Hiroshima and Nagasaki destroyed by two atom bombs. This unofficially ended WW2 in a stalemate, however fighting with America and Russia continued up until the early 90s.

Birth Of The Arachni Special Forces

"World War 2 was ended. However the fighting continued. This however did not deter Hitler from continuing his plans, all over Europe billions of Jewish and non Germans were slaughtered in what was easily our darkest years.."~~Private John Michaels--Arachni 503rd Division
