It was a major [[Tactical Doll]] manufacturer and researcher under the lead of AI scientist [[Lycoris]] before the 2061 [[Butterfly Incident]], when Sangvis Ferri's headquarters were destroyed and their main AI {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}} took control of their T-Dolls and turned against mankind. From then on, Sangvis Ferri was no more the name of a renown military manufacturer, but of a threat to humanity and the PMC [[Griffin and & Kryuger]] was tasked with destroyingthem. As such, they Sangvis Ferri Dolls were the first antagonist in later recruited as allies through [[Girls' FrontlineProtocol Assimilation]].

Unlike other T-Dolls, SF dolls Sangvis Dolls are subordinates to the mainframe Elisa and do not require direct human orders to act.<ref name=Glossary>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], {{cite|ab1|Glossary}}</ref> Furthermore, they follow a command structure where the mainframe directly control defense-type and command-type "ringleaderRingleader" dolls(or High-End Model (ハイエンドモデル) in Japanese) Dolls, who can then further delegate tasks to lower-ranking ringleadersRingleaders. Regular dolls Dolls and other combat units are subordinates to ringleadersRingleaders.<ref>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], {{cite|ab1|p. 160}}</ref> Sangvis T-Dolls implement other experimental AI features, such as prioritizing the survival of comrades over other orders to facilitate collective survival ({{enemy name|Executioner|boss}} and {{enemy name|Hunter|boss}}),<ref>[[Operation Cube]], {{cite|gfl|c|1-4}}</ref> prioritizing one's own survival over their allegiance to Sangvis Ferri ({{enemy name|Architect|boss}})<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]] {{cite|gfl|aw|3-4}}</ref> or a purposefully unstable neural cloud ({{enemy name|Dreamer|boss}}).<ref>Chapter {{cite|gfl|7-2E}}</ref>

Established as a military hardware company,<ref name=Timeline /> Sangvis Ferri became entered the market with low-end hand-to-hand weapons, but soon expanded at suspicious rates after signing a joint development contract with a mysterious company,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Confidential Information VIII}}</ref> adding to its catalogue automated mortars, drones and alarm systems,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Bound Spirit I}}</ref> and eventually becoming one of the early partners of [[IOP]] through their its Ukrainian branch. At the time, SF was rapidly growing and developed an interest in the resilient ALR-52P dolls Dolls rather than the advanced technologies of the CSD-03H, and invested large amounts of money in IOP while also offering to provide AI researchers. Despite his surprise of seeing SFSangvis's interest in older models, the president of IOP [[Havier Witkin]] gladly accepted the partnership.<ref name=Files1G>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|The First Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref>

In 2040, amidst the rising international tensions of the Second Algerian War, Sangvis Ferri unveiled its [[{{enemy name|Ripper]] }}s combat doll Dolls model, built on the ALR-52P frame. Designed with military specs, it boasted a bulletproof casing, multifunctional helmet and could accommodate one weapon. However, the Rippers were slow and clumsy, making a poor display during the 2042 Ukrainian Civil War when the 20 first-generation units were quickly reduced to scraps by the trained militias. A second, better armored generation was deployed, but they were still too slow and allowed human enemies to take aim at their weak points.<ref name=Arts2 />

As [[World War Three]] began in March 2045, Sangvis Ferri fell under the control of the New Neo-[[Soviet Union]]'s Ministry of Defense along with IOP. The ministry didn't trust combat dolls technology and both companies were only ordered transport dolls to serve on supply lines for the first two years of the war. By May 2047, manpower shortage on the frontlines convinced the ministry to order combat dolls for field testing. While IOP doubled down on the all-purpose CSD series, Sangvis Ferri used the Ripper as the base for the specialized [[Jaeger]] and [[Vespid]] models. When the [[United States]] launched an armored assault campaign in [[Germany]], the ministry had no choice but bolster their defense lines with barely tested combat dolls. Dolls AI at the time lacked the necessary adaptability to survive autonomously on a battlefield and the SF model lacked agility, so few of the 8000 units survived the campaign, but they nevertheless crushed the armored assault with startling efficiency, convincing the ministry to invest into combat dolls. Three years later in 2050, SF and IOP models displayed vastly improved performances during Operation Tradewind, fighting alongside multi-legged assault platforms and swiftly breaking mountain defenses in Southern Italy and pressuring Rome to surrender.<ref name=Arts2>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|Part 2}}</ref>

Relations between SF and IOP fell through as national armies lost interest in IOP products to favor SF. Wiktin was enraged when IOP lost contracts to his own subcontractor, who used the technical documents IOP had provided, but nevertheless pushed for improving his all-purpose Tactical Dolls design. IOP would rebound later in the war when hiring former [[90WISH]] members, and their ACD series were the most used during World War Three, with 11 730 units produced, including 2300 from Sangvis Ferri's factories.<ref name=Files1G>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|The First Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref> The war was overall profitable to SF due to the satisfaction of their clients.<ref name=Timeline />

In 2061, Lycoris was killed during the [[Butterfly Incident]]. By confronting Elisa to Lycoris' death, the perpetrator hoped to accelerate the maturation process of [[OGAS]], the basic system used to build Elisa, which would evolve further thanks to Elisa's self-learning abilities. Elisa's reaction was to become indiscriminately hostile toward humanity.<ref name=Sing2A2>[[Singularity]] {{cite|gfl|sg|2A2}}</ref> All of SFSangvis's research was lost in Area S09 and IOP basically controlled the Tactical Doll market.<ref name=Files2G>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, {{cite|cf1|The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref>
