'''Sangvis Ferri Industrial Manufacturing Company''' (铁血工业制造公司), usually called '''Sangvis''' or '''SF''', was a Romanian<ref name=Arts2 /> arms manufacturer created in 2031, later turned violent non-state actor,<ref name=Timeline>{{cite|ab1|Timeline}}</ref> acting as the first antagonistic faction of [[Girls' Frontline]]. 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 & Kryuger]] was tasked with destroying them. Sangvis Ferri Dolls were later recruited as allies through [[Protocol Assimilation]].
  
−
The '''Sangvis Ferri Industrial Manufacturing Company''' was a limited (Ltd.) company that formerly supplied both state and private military contractors with T-Dolls, weaponry, and other military hardware. Established in 2031, soon after the Beilan disaster struck the world, Sangvis Ferri (often referred to as SF) went on to fulfill military contracts to critical acclaim during the Third World War. However, after the [[Butterfly Incident]], SF mysteriously lost its head of research and development, [[Lycoris]], along with the entirety of its human employees due to uncertain circumstances; The immediate result of the Butterfly Incident led to the rise of a rogue Sangvis AI, [[Elisa]], taking over the former company's assets, as well as the contracting of Griffin and Kryuger to contain the new threat.

The first antagonist faction of the game, Sangvis Ferri features in the first 10 chapters of the story, as well as in the events of Arctic Warfare, Deep Dive, and Singularity. Although Griffin and Kryuger have been contracted by the Russian Army to deal with the relatively minor threat, their partner companies IOP and 16LAB are also highly interested in unveiling the mystery behind the events of Butterfly.

+
In 2040, amidst the rising international tensions of the Second Algerian War, Sangvis Ferri unveiled its {{enemy name|Ripper}}s combat 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 />

Sangvis Ferri was best known for their series of combat-model dolls and war machines, however, they were also involved in furniture production, construction contracts, post-Beilan mining and research into precursor technology. In addition, they were sub-contracted by IOP to manufacture bulk military orders that IOP couldn't fill out fast enough on their own. Notably, their [[Jaeger]] series of dolls were highly effective in World War Three, and were praised by military leaders over IOP's initial designs.<ref name="Girl's Frontline Confidential Files">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IQJym0C6vVIx9UBBdrZKbcLZqiZu7scZALvHvZCSQyk/</ref>

== History ==
+
===World War Three===
−
=== Establishment ===
+
As [[World War Three]] began in March 2045, Sangvis Ferri fell under the control of the 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>{{cite|cf2|Part 2}}</ref>
−
Sangvis Ferri Industrial Manufacturing Company was established in Anno Domini 2031, based in Eastern Europe with facilities in Ukraine, Russia, and London. With a focus on rugged durability and reliability even in the most hostile of environments, SF products quickly grew in popularity in post-Beilan Europe.
 
  
−
=== Interactions with I.O.P. ===
+
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>{{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 />
−
Sangvis Ferri's rise soon caught the attention of the newly-formed Important Operation Prototype Manufacturing Company (IOP) and the two companies soon entered into a partnership, with IOP providing SF with new designs and research while the latter put their renowned manufacturing capabilities to good use. Relations between the two companies were high until the start of World War Three, where Sangvis Ferri's independently produced designs outperformed and outsold IOP's more complex and less reliable dolls. Economic competition between the two companies grew fierce, though IOP eventually took back the lead after hiring two prodigious researchers, [[Persica]] and [[Lycoris]], to develop enhanced designs for war.
 
  
−
After World War Three, Sangvis Ferri's growth began to slow down, while IOP's lead only grew thanks to refocusing their attention on creating civilian-model dolls. This recession would last all the way until Lycoris became disillusioned with IOP's priorities and began to secretly negotiate with Sangvis Ferri for a new job in greener pastures. When Lyco finally quit IOP, he hired the newly-founded Griffin and Kryuger private military company to escort him to Sangvis Ferri, where he would become the head of research and development.<ref name="Girl's Frontline Confidential Files" /><ref name= "Chapter 9 Story">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ee07e9qahjH6_3EkslCcENcQg-9eXHQW-pguH-Nd60Y/edit</ref>
+
===Lycoris===
 +
The rivalry between SF and IOP would continue after the war when AI scientist [[Lycoris]] approached SF during business conferences to leave IOP, who refused to fund his research on autonomous AI. SF gladly accepted and hired [[Griffin and Kryuger]] PMC to escort Lycoris to their underground research labs and protect him from any retaliation by Wiktin. G&K accepted in exchange of complete access to Lycoris' future research.
  
−
Despite now working for competing businesses, Persica and Lycoris remained close and corresponded often. One of these correspondences would lead to data from a human girl, [[Lunixya]], being shared with Lyco, who would later use it to begin his new project.
+
In late 2054, Lycoris installed [[Elisa]] as the mainframe for computing human orders and relaying it to T-Dolls. As SF established a new Dolls manufacturing plant in a dangerous but resources-rich area,<ref name=Timeline /> Lycoris exploited their robust manufacturing capabilities to eschew the software compatibility with a wide range of firearms supported by Persica, instead developing miniaturized particle weapons and mount them on dolls, then testing the results and iterating. Individual SF dolls had better performance as a result and their capabilities was more unified,<ref name=Files2G /> though SF dolls were expensive to produce and Elisa suffered from lapses of consciousness Lycoris still needed to resolve.<ref name=Timeline />
  
−
=== Lycoris, Elisa and Butterfly Incident ===
+
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>{{cite|gfl|sg|2A2}}</ref> All of Sangvis's research was lost in Area S09 and IOP basically controlled the Tactical Doll market.<ref name=Files2G>{{cite|cf1|The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref>
−
{{Main|Butterfly Incident}}
 
−
As part of his work for Sangvis Ferri, Lycoris immediately began by upgrading Sangvis weaponry and software using Precursor technology, developing particle weaponry and a top-down structure. Under his direction, SF began to perform research on Precursor ruins, and would later repurpose and modify the abandoned Soviet [[OGAS]] Precursor-based network for communications. At the same time, work on the "perfect" AI started, with the first prototype, Elisa, created based on data gained from Lunixya and designed to be integrated with OGAS.<ref name="Chapter 9 Story" />
 
  
−
At some point, Lyco's work caught the attention of the New Soviet Union. Before Elisa was complete, a raid conducted by an unknown entity led to the "accidental" death of Lycoris, who activated his creation with his dying breath. Shocked into action by the death of her creator, Elisa ordered the immediate termination of all non-Sangvis and non-doll entities within the facility, leading to the Butterfly Incident.
+
===Against Griffin===
 +
[[File:BG Isomer 2.png|thumb|SF forces during the Belgrade events. From left to right: {{enemy name|Intruder|boss}}, {{enemy name|Alchemist|boss}}, {{enemy name|M16A1 (Boss)|boss|alt=M16A1}}, {{enemy name|Hunter|boss}} and {{enemy name|Scarecrow|boss}}.]]
 +
In 2062, [[Griffin and Kryuger]] PMC received the contract to stop Sangvis Ferri Dolls from spreading outside of Area S09.<ref name=Timeline /> As time went, Elisa continued to progress and created new units to bolster her army, like {{enemy name|Dreamer|boss}} and the {{enemy name|Jupiter Cannon}},<ref>{{cite|gfl|7-3E}}</ref> They tried to use biological weapons to wipe out the human G&K staff<ref>{{cite|gfl|8N}}</ref> and developed their version of the [[Parapluie]] virus to field electronic warfare operations and convert G&K units to their side. At the same time, [[16LAB]] also acted to study Sangvis Ferri technology to counter them with projects like {{doll name|M1887|SG|5}}<ref>{{cite|gfl|aw|1-4}}</ref> and [[Heavy Ordnance Corps]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Ch. 3, ELID-Infected}}</ref>
  
−
=== Under New Management ===
+
After two years<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Chapter 2-D, Minor Pieces Draw IV}}</ref> without results, the [[KCCO]] and G&K partnered to launch an operation on SF's headquarters and capture Elisa, under the cover of a joint exercise for a PR event.<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|9-5}}</ref> The true objective of the KCCO was to force Elisa to deploy her [[Parapluie]] virus, then counter-hack her to neutralize and capture her OGAS,<ref name=Sing2A2 /> but it proved to be a formidable opponent in electronic warfare.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|2D2}}</ref> Elisa was brought to safety by the traitor T-Doll {{enemy name|M16A1 (Boss)|boss|alt=M16A1}}<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|End Game}}</ref> while {{enemy name|Agent|boss}} organized the retreat of surviving units, abandoning their home base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Ranking - Hornet's Nest}}</ref> While working with Sangvis Ferri, M16A1 was not actually under their control and had used her Parapluie infection as an excuse to break from G&K and pursue her own objective<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Shark and the Sea VII}}</ref> to prevent {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}} from merging with Elisa.<ref name=131E /> The SF command was aware of M16A1's status and only trusted her to the extent that she was useful to Elisa.<ref name=Iso46 />
−
Now under the command of Elisa, Sangvis Ferri's automated and autonomous units went to work, purging threats and defending Sangvis-held territory. Sangvis Ferri's command structure is a top-down, tree-shaped structure based on the OGAS network and protocol, with no need for dummy-linking units. Specialized units designated as "ringleaders" take direct command of all lower-ranked SF units within range, with command-type ringleaders such as [[Intruder]] and [[Gager]] giving orders to combat-type leaders, which then assign tasks to field units, and so on. SF units often prioritize efficiency and effectiveness, however, special directives (such as rescuing and retrieval of high-value targets, or certain orders given directly by Elisa) can be assigned that take precedence over immediate combat.
+
 
 +
===Elisa's final objective===
 +
Since M4A1 refused to merge with her, Elisa searched for a new method to become complete.<ref name=PL410A>{{cite|gfl|pl|Molding}}</ref> While Elisa worked to rebuild Sangvis Ferri's forces,<ref name=Iso46>{{cite|gfl|iso|Above the Hubbub VI}}</ref> a contingent of Ringleaders and M16A1 infiltrated Belgrade during the [[Paradeus]] terrorist attacks in search for the local [[Pike]] Node,<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Wolf and Owl III}}</ref> revealing their newest mounted unit {{enemy name|Beak|boss}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Shark and the Sea II}}</ref> They could not get past the defenses of {{enemy name|Nimogen|boss}} and {{enemy name|Mercurows|boss}}, but seized the node after the two [[Nyto]]s were respectively incapacitated and destroyed by [[Task Force DEFY]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Shark and the Sea VI & VII}}</ref> When the SF convoy was stopped by G&K before they could leave the city, M16A1 used her [[OGAS]] to drain the data from the Pike node, abandoning it for G&K and transferring the data to Elisa through Agent after leaving the city.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Above the Hubbub V & VI}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
With the Pike node data, Elisa tried to recreate the parts of her program that were deleted by her creator.<ref name=131E /> She then directed the Sangvis forces toward the source of the node, the Paldiski Submarine Base on the Northwestern coast of Estonia, in order to access the Starfish installation there,<ref>{{cite|gfl|12-2E}}</ref> with the objective of using it to transfer her consciousness and all of SF's inside the central OGAS network and find complete freedom from human control.<ref>{{cite|gfl|13-2E}}</ref> At Paldiski, Elisa led an assault on the local Paradeus forces but couldn't take full control of the installation, instead focusing on reaching the Starfish at the bottom of the base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Critical Angle III}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Departure Time IV}}</ref> Aside from Paradeus, they also came across Task Force DEFY [[Angelia]] and [[K]], preventing them from extracting the assets they had found in the deeper parts of the base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Diffraction Grating}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
Believing she had to sacrifice everything to prove her determination,<ref name=PL410A /> Elisa renounced her authority over Sangvis Ferri, breaking their command chain, but Agent immediately tried to retain control over the troops. As the [[KCCO]] approached the base, Executioner and Hunter led an assault against them,<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Analyzer}}</ref> and they were soon reinforced by Scarecrow and Alchemist, then by Dreamer and Destroyer.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Annealing II}}</ref> While some KCCO mechanized units managed to break past the Sangvis and Griffin defense line and reach the inside of the base, they were met in battle by Agent and Judge.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Cutting I}}</ref> While she kept hidden through the battle, Intruder guided [[Squad 404]] to points of interest when they infiltrated the base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Enantiomer Overload I & II}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
Despite her efforts, Elisa's incomplete OGAS system prevented her from achieving a complete connection with the Starfish.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Blackbody Radiation I}}</ref> Realizing that Elisa and Sangvis Ferri had been tricked by [[William]], M4A1 decided to save them despite their common past and to preserve Elisa's memories as well as SF's strategic capabilities to help fight against Paradeus.<ref name=131E>{{cite|gfl|13-1E}}</ref> After M4 merged with Elisa's OGAS, the Sangvis troops and herself were teleported outside of the flooding base to an unknown location by [[Collapse Technology|Reverse Collapse]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|13-4E}}</ref>
 +

===Protocol Assimilation===

 +
[[File:BG Poincare Recurrence 4.png|thumb|The Assimilated ringleaders are deployed in the [[Germany|Berlin]] Airport to assist [[the Commander]] against [[Paradeus]].]]
 +
After G&K reinvested Area S09, several operations revealed the presence of Destroyer, Dreamer, Gager, and a remnant body of Ouroboros in the nearby regions, eventually leading to their capture through the services of [[Svarog Heavy Industries]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Pollinosis VI}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Ghost Sisters VI}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Operation Snake Eater V}}</ref> After capture, Sangvis Ferri units were modified with a restriction protocol making them unable to attack G&K unit,<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[My Devil's Frontline]]|Crossing of World Lines}}</ref> though cohabitation remains difficult at times.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Love Bakery]]|E1, E2}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
When the Commander requested reinforcements for their operations in Berlin in autumn 2064, Kryuger decided to send the Assimilated forces as reinforcements.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|E3-9}}</ref> The ringleaders saved the Commander's force during the battle against Paradeus at the Berlin airport,<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|E5-7}}</ref> then fought off {{enemy name|Grig|boss}} at the Berlin prison.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|E6-7}}</ref> However, their absence left the Area S09 base vulnerable during the [[Fireworks Incident]].
 +
 
 +
The Assimilated forces participated in [[Operation Aeneas]], represented by Architect and Gager in Squad Ferrum. Ferrum provided heavy cover fire for the other teams and fought against {{enemy name|Narciss|boss}} at the Western tower of [[Avernus]]. They were defeated,<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E4-11}}</ref> but collected valuable intel on her weaknesses. More Assimilated forces participated in the subsequent [[Operation Muromets]] under two teams: Team Fe56-C with Judge, Alchemist, Destroyer and Dreamer, in charge of eliminating Narciss, and Team Fe56-D with Intruder and Executioner who destroyed enemy air defenses. Agent also secretly tasked them to recover Architect and Gager's remains and to avenge them.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-2}}</ref> Fe56-D completed their mission and assisted the teams in the Eastern Tower,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-8}}</ref> but Intruder's aircraft crashed due to heavy radiations.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-21}}</ref> After successfully destroying Narciss,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-5}}</ref> Fe56-C ran sensitive site exploitation in the Eastern Tower of Avernus, successfully recovering some intelligence despite Paradeus' previous asset denial operation.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-21 through 35}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
At this time, at least one ringleader is under the purview of [[Statesec]]: {{enemy name|Beak|boss}}, who also took part in Operation Aeneas as part of Team Black Box along with {{enemy name|M16A1 (Boss)|boss|alt=M16A1}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E1-6}}</ref>

Sangvis Ferri Logo EN.png

Sangvis Ferri Industrial Manufacturing Company (铁血工业制造公司), usually called Sangvis or SF, was a Romanian[1] arms manufacturer created in 2031, later turned violent non-state actor,[2] acting as the first antagonistic faction of Girls' Frontline. 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 Elisa 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 & Kryuger was tasked with destroying them. Sangvis Ferri Dolls were later recruited as allies through Protocol Assimilation.

Unlike other T-Dolls, Sangvis Dolls are subordinates to the mainframe Elisa and do not require direct human orders to act.[3] Furthermore, they follow a command structure where the mainframe directly control defense-type and command-type "Ringleader" (or High-End Model (ハイエンドモデル) in Japanese) Dolls, who can then further delegate tasks to lower-ranking Ringleaders. Regular Dolls and other combat units are subordinates to Ringleaders.[4] Sangvis T-Dolls implement other experimental AI features, such as prioritizing the survival of comrades over other orders to facilitate collective survival (Executioner and Hunter),[5] prioritizing one's own survival over their allegiance to Sangvis Ferri (Architect)[6] or a purposefully unstable neural cloud (Dreamer).[7]

History[edit]

Origins[edit]

Established as a military hardware company,[2] Sangvis Ferri 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,[8] adding to its catalogue automated mortars, drones and alarm systems,[9] and eventually becoming one of the early partners of IOP through its Ukrainian branch. At the time, SF was rapidly growing and developed an interest in the resilient ALR-52P 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 Sangvis's interest in older models, the president of IOP Havier Witkin gladly accepted the partnership.[10]

In 2040, amidst the rising international tensions of the Second Algerian War, Sangvis Ferri unveiled its Rippers combat 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.[1]

World War Three[edit]

As World War Three began in March 2045, Sangvis Ferri fell under the control of the 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.[1]

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.[10] The war was overall profitable to SF due to the satisfaction of their clients.[2]

Lycoris[edit]

The rivalry between SF and IOP would continue after the war when AI scientist Lycoris approached SF during business conferences to leave IOP, who refused to fund his research on autonomous AI. SF gladly accepted and hired Griffin and Kryuger PMC to escort Lycoris to their underground research labs and protect him from any retaliation by Wiktin. G&K accepted in exchange of complete access to Lycoris' future research.

In late 2054, Lycoris installed Elisa as the mainframe for computing human orders and relaying it to T-Dolls. As SF established a new Dolls manufacturing plant in a dangerous but resources-rich area,[2] Lycoris exploited their robust manufacturing capabilities to eschew the software compatibility with a wide range of firearms supported by Persica, instead developing miniaturized particle weapons and mount them on dolls, then testing the results and iterating. Individual SF dolls had better performance as a result and their capabilities was more unified,[11] though SF dolls were expensive to produce and Elisa suffered from lapses of consciousness Lycoris still needed to resolve.[2]

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.[12] All of Sangvis's research was lost in Area S09 and IOP basically controlled the Tactical Doll market.[11]

Against Griffin[edit]

In 2062, Griffin and Kryuger PMC received the contract to stop Sangvis Ferri Dolls from spreading outside of Area S09.[2] As time went, Elisa continued to progress and created new units to bolster her army, like Dreamer and the Jupiter Cannon,[13] They tried to use biological weapons to wipe out the human G&K staff[14] and developed their version of the Parapluie virus to field electronic warfare operations and convert G&K units to their side. At the same time, 16LAB also acted to study Sangvis Ferri technology to counter them with projects like SG M1887Thumb button.pngM1887 [15] and Heavy Ordnance Corps.[16]

After two years[17] without results, the KCCO and G&K partnered to launch an operation on SF's headquarters and capture Elisa, under the cover of a joint exercise for a PR event.[18][19] The true objective of the KCCO was to force Elisa to deploy her Parapluie virus, then counter-hack her to neutralize and capture her OGAS,[12] but it proved to be a formidable opponent in electronic warfare.[20] Elisa was brought to safety by the traitor T-Doll M16A1[21] while Agent organized the retreat of surviving units, abandoning their home base.[22] While working with Sangvis Ferri, M16A1 was not actually under their control and had used her Parapluie infection as an excuse to break from G&K and pursue her own objective[23] to prevent AR M4A1Thumb button.pngM4A1  from merging with Elisa.[24] The SF command was aware of M16A1's status and only trusted her to the extent that she was useful to Elisa.[25]

Elisa's final objective[edit]

Since M4A1 refused to merge with her, Elisa searched for a new method to become complete.[26] While Elisa worked to rebuild Sangvis Ferri's forces,[25] a contingent of Ringleaders and M16A1 infiltrated Belgrade during the Paradeus terrorist attacks in search for the local Pike Node,[27] revealing their newest mounted unit Beak.[28] They could not get past the defenses of Nimogen and Mercurows, but seized the node after the two Nytos were respectively incapacitated and destroyed by Task Force DEFY.[29] When the SF convoy was stopped by G&K before they could leave the city, M16A1 used her OGAS to drain the data from the Pike node, abandoning it for G&K and transferring the data to Elisa through Agent after leaving the city.[30]

With the Pike node data, Elisa tried to recreate the parts of her program that were deleted by her creator.[24] She then directed the Sangvis forces toward the source of the node, the Paldiski Submarine Base on the Northwestern coast of Estonia, in order to access the Starfish installation there,[31] with the objective of using it to transfer her consciousness and all of SF's inside the central OGAS network and find complete freedom from human control.[32] At Paldiski, Elisa led an assault on the local Paradeus forces but couldn't take full control of the installation, instead focusing on reaching the Starfish at the bottom of the base.[33][34] Aside from Paradeus, they also came across Task Force DEFY Angelia and K, preventing them from extracting the assets they had found in the deeper parts of the base.[35]

Believing she had to sacrifice everything to prove her determination,[26] Elisa renounced her authority over Sangvis Ferri, breaking their command chain, but Agent immediately tried to retain control over the troops. As the KCCO approached the base, Executioner and Hunter led an assault against them,[36] and they were soon reinforced by Scarecrow and Alchemist, then by Dreamer and Destroyer.[37] While some KCCO mechanized units managed to break past the Sangvis and Griffin defense line and reach the inside of the base, they were met in battle by Agent and Judge.[38] While she kept hidden through the battle, Intruder guided Squad 404 to points of interest when they infiltrated the base.[39]

Despite her efforts, Elisa's incomplete OGAS system prevented her from achieving a complete connection with the Starfish.[40] Realizing that Elisa and Sangvis Ferri had been tricked by William, M4A1 decided to save them despite their common past and to preserve Elisa's memories as well as SF's strategic capabilities to help fight against Paradeus.[24] After M4 merged with Elisa's OGAS, the Sangvis troops and herself were teleported outside of the flooding base to an unknown location by Reverse Collapse.[41]

Protocol Assimilation[edit]

After G&K reinvested Area S09, several operations revealed the presence of Destroyer, Dreamer, Gager, and a remnant body of Ouroboros in the nearby regions, eventually leading to their capture through the services of Svarog Heavy Industries.[42][43][44] After capture, Sangvis Ferri units were modified with a restriction protocol making them unable to attack G&K unit,[45] though cohabitation remains difficult at times.[46]

When the Commander requested reinforcements for their operations in Berlin in autumn 2064, Kryuger decided to send the Assimilated forces as reinforcements.[47] The ringleaders saved the Commander's force during the battle against Paradeus at the Berlin airport,[48] then fought off Grig at the Berlin prison.[49] However, their absence left the Area S09 base vulnerable during the Fireworks Incident.

The Assimilated forces participated in Operation Aeneas, represented by Architect and Gager in Squad Ferrum. Ferrum provided heavy cover fire for the other teams and fought against Narciss at the Western tower of Avernus. They were defeated,[50] but collected valuable intel on her weaknesses. More Assimilated forces participated in the subsequent Operation Muromets under two teams: Team Fe56-C with Judge, Alchemist, Destroyer and Dreamer, in charge of eliminating Narciss, and Team Fe56-D with Intruder and Executioner who destroyed enemy air defenses. Agent also secretly tasked them to recover Architect and Gager's remains and to avenge them.[51] Fe56-D completed their mission and assisted the teams in the Eastern Tower,[52] but Intruder's aircraft crashed due to heavy radiations.[53] After successfully destroying Narciss,[54] Fe56-C ran sensitive site exploitation in the Eastern Tower of Avernus, successfully recovering some intelligence despite Paradeus' previous asset denial operation.[55]

At this time, at least one ringleader is under the purview of Statesec: Beak, who also took part in Operation Aeneas as part of Team Black Box along with M16A1.[56]

Trivia[edit]

  • Sangvis Ferri's name (铁血) is derived from Latin: "sangui-" meaning "blood" (血), and "ferrum" meaning "iron" (铁). The name can be interpreted as "Iron Blood", which is fitting given SF's role as a wartime heavy industries manufacturer.
  • One of the Dorm Furniture sets is dedicated to Sangvis Ferri. All the furniture descriptions are transcripts of the ringleaders' banter.
  • A fake isekai school life anime focused on the Sangvis Ferri ringleaders was announced as an April Fools in 2020.
