Note: This page is work in progress Note: Girls' Frontline shares a world with MICATeam's prior game, Operation Bakery Girl. Bakery Girl takes place several decades after the events of Girls' Frontline, but much of the worldbuilding has already been established, so much of the story's prior history will have their sources pulled from Bakery Girl.

History

The world of Girls' Frontline takes place in an alternate history, where the Russian Empire accidentally stumbled upon an ancient alien ruin located deep in the Siberian taiga in the early 20th century. Although the alien technology found at the site was far beyond human comprehension at the time, the Russians managed to keep the existence of the ruin a secret and began to extract some of the alien artifacts. This inadvertently caused the reactor within the alien construct to destabilize, and ultimately led to the explosion known as the Tunguska event. Not long afterwards, the Bolshevik Revolution would topple the Empire, leaving the remaining alien constructs within the hands of Soviet Russia.

World War II would happen a few decades later, with the Allies triumphant against the Axis in both the Western and Pacific Theaters. Having emerged as the two reigning superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union eagerly took their war reparations. Much of the Axis's manufacturing and natural resources would end up in the hands of the US, but the Soviet Union secretly took control of all the alien technology that Germany possessed- including the alien research facility Urkunde 01. A Cold War soon breaks out between the United States and the Soviet Union, with the latter quickly gaining the upper hand in both nuclear arms technology as well as alien research. By 1950, the Soviets had begun the first concentrated effort to research and synthesize alien tech with Project Starfish. The United States finally discovers the existence of precursor ruins five years later, beginning their own research at a ruin named D-1.

As research into alien technology ramps up, the first precursor corpse is found in the North Island Ruins, located in the North China Sea. Named GAVIRUL, experiments and research into precursor biology begins nearly immediately. However, improper handing of the ruins leads to a rupture in some alien storage tanks. The results of this leak are almost immediately apparent as workers in the area quick succumb to the effects of an alien disease. Named Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease (ELID), the mutations are quickly found to be caused by an alien virus and the entire site is closed down before ultimately being sealed off completely.

As the disease quietly spreads via the survivors of the incident, the two world superpowers begin to experiment with alien technology in war, with the US using biochemical weaponry derived from alien research, and the Soviets using technology developed by Starfish in Afghanistan. By the time both wars end, an estimated 20 million people had been infected with ELID, prompting the US and the Soviets to finally sign a treaty to cease all research into precursor weaponry and ruins. Two years later, the two countries begin teaming up to develop a vaccine to combat the spread of the ELID virus. No working cure or preventative measure for the disease is ever found, however.

In 2030, an incident occurs at the North Island containment site as a group of civilians break into the ruins, where they are attacked by mutant ELID sufferers. A strike team is sent in to rescue them, but the squad is quickly overwhelmed and forced to use explosives to ensure that the mutants don't break containment. The explosion destroys the entrance to the ruin and succeeds in wiping out the mutants, but exposes the facility to open air, ultimately resulting in a huge volume of ELID gas contaminating Earth's atmosphere and rendering the majority of Earth's land uninhabitable. Pre-existing country boundaries are quickly forgotten as the world enters into a sudden reorganization around hospitable land and safe-to-gather resources.

Thanks to the sudden reduction of the human population, work is quickly put into developing alternative ways of gathering resources and producing goods. Development into robotic workers and automatons becomes the most popular choice as research begins on reliable, cost-effective, and easily-adaptable machines. A company known as Leihart General Manufacturing took the lead in 2035 with the first frame robot design, capable of wireless control and 6 hours of battery life. Further development on the Leihart model was quickly taken up by a multitude of companies across the globe, and it wasn't long before the military forces of the new factions took an interest, with the first military contract arriving in 2037: an order for a frame-robot capable of replacing the crew of the Pan-European Military Union's Assault Artillery vehicles. To fit the requirements, the resulting frame was flexible and human-shaped to fit easily in the vehicles, and fitted with a highly-adaptable AI from Leihart's initial prototypes. The first model T-Doll had been developed.
