Greetings from the Geist Unit HQ!

It has been quite the ride lately, and our team is doing their best to keep everything moving as smoothly as possible. Remember: wash your hands constantly (cybernetic or not) and prefer remote interactions with your fellow Agents (grade B secure connections are recommended).

Today we will brief you about the issued sidearm for field operations, the GIP-1A.



The GIP-1A (or Grass Impulse Pistol) is a next gen weapon, intended for CQB combat. Accuracy is improved thanks to its design: its internals include a recoil dampener, allowing the pistol to go full auto with improved accuracy. Additionally, the unique caseless 9mm L ammo allows the GIP-1A to deliver a considerable impact to targets, while the Adaptive Propellant System (hence the A on its designation) allows the user to automatically convert ammo from supersonic to subsonic, allowing switching to silencers on the go in exchange for stopping power.

Each field agent is required to equip the standard loadout before deployment, no exceptions allowed.

So, GAMEPLAY TIP!:
If you want your agents to go silent, then change the strategy to "Stealth", and they will immediately switch to the silenced GIP-1A, ready for a well-timed stealth-kill.

Another Tuesday, another Devlog! It’s time to meet the main field weapon for Geist Unit agents, the C95U.



After the war, an in-depth analysis of combat data was requested by the MoD. The idea was to start producing locally developed weapons and war material, since shortages and lack of supplies were key factors in many engagements against the better trained and armed NCE troops. Baltia had to be independent in many areas, including its military industry.

The analysis showed, among other things, the need for a specialized CQC submachine gun, with a high rate of fire and good stopping power. Cyber Industries was assigned to develop a suitable gun for the Baltian Armed Forces.

Based on the reliable C90 SMG in use by the American Empire, the C95U (Ultimate) is a Baltian specific production model coming from the C90 platform. Never disclosed to the public, the C95U contract was awarded to the Baltian National Armoured Institute. The U model includes a complete internal redesign of the original C90. This redesign allows the weapon to use the newly developed caseless 5.8×25mm ammunition, allowing the C95U to have a larger ammo capacity, while helping in lessening the weight load for the field agent.

What kind of strategy do you plan to use? Fire at will? Stealth?

Hey there, future Operators! We sincerely hope you are safe and well. These are harsh times, but as many times before, the human spirit will prevail. Wash your cyber-hands and stay home if you can!

Today we will talk about the single most important tool of field agents in the world of Cyber-Ops, the incredible Net Dagger.



A few years after the end of the war, and with a rise in cyber crime and terrorism, the newly formed Baltian government detected an increased need for a quick tampering and hacking device to be used during field operations.

With this in mind, the Baltian DoD requested its Cyber Industries R&D division to design a fitting solution. After several years of trial and error, Cyber Industries delivered the first prototypes of the Digital Warfare Knife (DWK) - Net Dagger to the DoD to be tested.

The DWK-1 allows the user to penetrate physical encasings, connecting the targeted terminal remotely with the assigned Operator, allowing him to inject software and hack or control the system.

Compact, resilient, made with cutting edge (pun intended) materials, the Net Dagger was a game changer for Baltia’s special operatives. The DoD banned its export to other countries, so Baltia is its only global user.

Would you like to have a real-life Net Dagger?

...me too :D

Hello Operators! This week we are bringing some more information about Baltia after the war. Enjoy!

In less than a decade, Baltia’s previously weak borders were consolidated by means of an international peacekeeping operation, organized by the AFN (Assembly of Free Nations), guaranteeing to a certain extent the nonintervention of the NCE on the internal affairs of Baltia. However, the shielding from the international community over Baltia had an expiration date. The new government of Baltia, knowing that the future of the country was in danger, did not hesitate to initiate an ambitious and never before seen process of modernization of its territory. Thanks to its positive view inside the international community, Baltia was able to obtain large credits and funds, which were put to use in an industrialization process never seen in modern history. The Baltians didn’t want to be absorbed again by the NCE; a strong Baltian consciousness developed among them. Baltians that had fled from the country during the war returned to the country, bringing with them knowledge and money that was put to work towards the development of Baltia.

The AFN peace forces maintained its presence in the country for exactly 10 years. Baltia developed an industry based on the research of advanced software and artificial intelligence, targeting the market of cybernetics and the new technologies of NInternet. Its industry focused on high tech – high investment – high return products.

While inside the NCE, Baltia was considered its “Silicon Valley”, since many of the new technologies and advances that benefited the NCE industry came from Baltian scientists and companies. In less than 15 years, Baltia was striding further and further ahead of the NCE.

Under the supervision of the AFN, Baltia organized its new Self Defense Forces in order to be technologically advanced, but limited in their offensive capabilities: the AFN didn’t want future Baltian governments to start a military campaign against the NCE -the independence war was rather brutal and thousand of Baltians soldiers and civilians were killed. However, Baltia's leaders knew that the country would face new battlefields and enemies that conventional armies couldn’t defeat. Located at the frontier between two opposite worlds, Baltia would have to play as a political and military buffer between the NCE and the West.



When the time is running out, what kind of hi-tech self-defense unit would you create?

Hello again, Operators! We sincerely hope that all of you are ok with the current international developments. Here at the Geist HQ we are adapting, taking things seriously and working from home, so we can keep with our normal operations.

Today we will learn a little bit about the big boss of the Geist Unit, General Egon Daumantas.

General Daumantas had a key role during the war, gathering support from the international community and openly calling for an intervention at the meetings of the AFN Security Council. Daumantas was one of the most capable and experienced officers of the Baltian Province and his unit was the first to rebel against the NCE, openly calling to resist its ruling party.

Although Daumantas wasn’t the mastermind behind the rebellion, he fully supported the cause, and only agreed to step into the public eye due to the desperate situation of the country during the first year of the war.

Presumed KIA by the media, Daumantas has willingly fallen into the shadows, knowing that future wars will not be fought by armies, but by elite units as Geist.

Tasked by the ECP to create and lead the first Geist Unit, Daumantas has developed a keen sense of duty and strategy. Baltia first, everything else second. That’s his motto.



See you soon... in the meantime, stay safe and play a lot of games!! :)

After the 5 Years War, the government of Baltia mandated, under the utmost secrecy, the creation of a Special Operations Command, designated as the Geist Division. Its main objective: to counter internal and external terrorist threats (both physical and cybernetic). This command was allowed operational freedom, and while technically subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior, it would answer directly to the Emergency Cabinet of the Presidency (ECP).

The Geist Division was designed to incorporate four Geist Units. However, lack of funding has only allowed the deployment of one. The unit focuses on flexibility, being able to eliminate threats quickly and silently inside heavily populated areas with an expected low percentage of civilian casualties. In order to improve their efficiency, almost all members of the unit were issued with some type of cybernetic implant or prosthesis, which gave them enhanced capacities both in physical and in cyber combat.

Geist Unit missions will generally be assigned by the ECP, which acquires intel through its own channels. However, the Geist Unit is generally free to conduct its own investigations, as long as they are approved by the Squad Commander, who takes responsibility for the actions of each member. Future deployments of Geist Units are expected to be distributed among the most important cities of Baltia.

Borko was a computer engineer at one of Baltia’s Weapon Research facilities managed by the NCE before the war. Just before the war started, Borko was asked by the NCE government to specialize in Nuclear Technologies.


After the Separatists took over the province, he saw his family suffer due to the subsequent NCE invasion, deciding to join forces with the local militia shortly after the start of the conflict.

Borko has an unmatched ability to snipe targets at long distances. Raised in a family of hunters, he honed his shooting skills during most of his childhood, pouring all his experience into the war.

Feared by the NCE, he accumulated 150 confirmed kills during the conflict, working several times together with a young but intrepid Ellen.

His records show him as KIA, but it was Daumantas who asked him to go into the shadows to be part of the Geist Unit.


Operator, you can count with Borko' Sniper Support during the missions by upgrading the Support branch of your skill tree.

The world begins to recover from a convulsive and violent period, where the power balance between the Erebian nations and the Eastern giants was broken. During this time, the biggest Eastern country, the NCE (New Central Empire), went through a series of independence attempts from several regional states.

Most of these separatist attempts (more political than military-based) were mercilessly crushed, and those involved were treated as mere terrorism, ignoring the historical context and possible justification for said acts.

Within this scenario, the western world was surprised by the tenacious resistance of a small NCE region, formerly known as Baltia.

Baltia went through a harsh war against the NCE, which lasted 5 years. The region was able to resist enough time for the international community to put enough pressure against the NCE, finally forcing it to recognize the right of the Baltians to become an independent nation.

This was cheered by the Western nations, but it was a huge blow to the NCE aspiration to become a world power.

5 years after the armed conflict, a secret hi-tech unit is born within Baltia... are you ready, Operator?

Born in Baltia but raised in the American Empire, Marcus had a happy childhood. His father was a respected member of the Empire´s military, thus Marcus followed his steps. He joined the Army, applying to the Imperial Rangers. He saw combat in several low key conflicts, until assigned to serve as part of the Quick Reaction Unit created by the Assembly of Free Nations (AFN) to enforce a no-conflict area in Baltia.

After witnessing the desperate condition of Baltia’s self-defense forces, he deserted his unit and joined with the local militia, becoming a mercenary. He fought the last 4 years of the war against NCE forces, briefly meeting Ellen at the battlefield. After the war, the Empire Army charged him with desertion and treason, arresting him. However, General Daumantas helped in clearing his name: the General was interested in recruiting him from the start. He was selected as a member of the Geist Unit due to his combat record, as well as for his will to leave everything behind for the sake of Baltia.

Marcus will usually serve as field leader, specializing in hostage rescue and facility infiltrations. He and Ellen have a special bond, forged in the battlefield as brothers in arms.

Cyborgs are very real! Well, in this world, at least.



Baltia’s importance for the NCE is two-folded. In order to maintain its local influence, the NCE needed to avoid areas of its territory to go rogue to form an independent country. However, the biggest loss for the NCE was Baltia’s next gen industry: body augmentation.

Baltia was considered the center of technological development inside the NCE. Almost all new advances related with cyberization and NInternet (New Internet) came from Baltian companies and industries. The large international support for Baltia’s cause was, in part, related to this. If the country was independent, anybody could buy these technologies without having to deal with the NCE.

Once Baltia was free from NCE’s control, the civil and military markets were flooded with affordable and excellent quality cyber augmentations and prosthetics. More and more people, due to health conditions or hazardous occupations, or just mere curiosity or vanity, decided to augment parts or even their whole bodies.

Most, if not all members of Geist have some sort of augmentation. New recruits are offered basic cyberization kits, military grade, so they can expand their abilities if needed.

What kind of augmentation would you like to have?
