Welcome to Gaia! ::

Background


The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest corporate entity in existance.

Originally focused on weapons and defence contracts, new ventures have expanded into:

Biological Research

Space Exploration

And other scientific endevours

With unlimited funds and the ability to engage in research outside of moral and legal obligations

The UAC controls the most advanced technology ever concieved...


Here is a good intro and example of the atmosphere.

Weapons and Items


These can't run out of ammo. Good for you. When you are out of ammo, or find yourself in a confusing situation, they'll sure come in handy.
Does relatively little damage, 20 damage per hit, and 40 for a headshot


Not only the most important tool you'll use, but you can also swing with it in close combat. If you really need to use a weapon in close combat, use the flashlight, not your fists, since it'll do more damage.
PDA: UAC Standard issue light source. This model utilizes a static transfer power supply, so battery replacement is unnecessary.
The Flashlight does 40 damage per hit.


The first shooting weapon you'll get. However, you can shoot fast enough to do quite some damage in a short time. You can use it to weaken enemies at longer distance, then switch to a better weapon.
PDA: All UAC Security and Military personnel are supplied with this basic projectile side arm.
The pistol does roughly 15 damage, or 30 for a headshot, with a rate of fire of 3 shots every second.


A shotgun. For close combat nothing touches it. It holds 8 shots, scatter of course. But i wouldn't recommend for long range.
PDA: The shotgun deals considerable damage at close range, however the wide spread limits long range effectiveness.
The shotgun can do up to 200 damage at point blank range, but for every five feet away your target is, subtract 50 damage. It fires one shot every 2 seconds.


The Sub Machine Gun is a rapid firing weapon with 60 shots a clip. Its accurate and good for long and medium range targets. Not the most powerful weapon but a replacement for the pistol over long range. If fired in bursts, it is very accurate, but the longer you fire, the more inaccurate it is.
PDA: The MG-88 Enforcer delivers a high rate of fire and dependable accuracy when fired in short bursts. Standard Marine Infantry issue.
It does 15 damage per hit, 30 for a headshot, firing at a rate of 10 rounds per second.


Very powerful rapid firing heavy duty gun. It holds 60 bullets of pure power to tear apart anything that moves.
PDA: The Chain Gun's 0.30 caliber armor piercing round delivers substantial damage, but heavy recoil reduces accuracy.
Before the gun fires, it must warm up for 3 seconds, and then fires at a rate of 6 rounds per second. Each round does 30 damage, 60 for a headshot.


One of the UAC best in High-Tech weaponry. If holds 50 Plasma shots a cell.
PDA: Energy based weapons developed in the Mars weapon facility. Unit is powered by plasma canisters manufactured in the EnPro facility.
It does 30 damage per hit, and 60 for a headshot. It fires at 8 shots per second, but the plasma shots move at a slow rate, so targets at a distance may simply sidestep out of the way.


Grenades are well.. explosive. Just throw the grenade, keep the pin, not the other way around. Great when you are outnumbered by enemies.
PDA: The infantry issue fragmentation grenade is activated by a twist detonator.
They cause damage within a radius, at impact causing 150 damage. For every five feet away from the blast, damage is decreased by 25.


Close Range weapon. If you must hack your enemies close range this is your weapon of choice.
PDA: Self powered chain-blade cutting tool. Part of a shipment incorrectly routed to the Mars dropship distribution centre.
For every second the chainsaw is applied to the target, it causes 50 damage.


Holds 5 Rockets at a time. Packs a powerful punch but is slow firing.
PDA: A portable self-propelled rocket designed for demolition and debris removal, this model has been modified for use as a military weapon.
Does 170 damage to the target, and splashes 125 damage up to 10 feet away. Like the Plasma Rifle, more agile targets will be able to dodge out of the way. Fires one rocket every 2 seconds.


This is an Experimental weapon created by UAC personal to battle the creatures found behide the portals in the new world. It holds 4 shots of amazing destructive powers. The longer you hold the trigger the more powerful the shot, consuming up to all four rounds. However, if you charge it up too much, it will explode, killing the user.
PDA: This prototype fires a threaded variable energy charge. UAC technicians have warned of stability issues at full power.
For every charge consumed, it will do 200 damage, causing 100 damage to everything else within twenty feet.


The PDA is vital for your work at the Union Aerospace Corporation. Stores your e-mails video discs and allows you to download and access other people's PDAs which you find throughout the game.


Key card. A key basically only fancy and electronic.


Armour gives you an additional 50 protection. Armour is depleted before your health is.


Armour shards give you an additional 5 protection.


Bullets give you something to shoot with. There are different kinds for different weapons.


Cells give your plasma gun fuel.


Rockets give you something explosive to shoot with.


Frank's Lunch is the most deadly item. Throw his mouldy lunch onto the floor in front of an opponent and watch him pass out from the stench of it.


The backpack allows you to carry more items.
