The All-American Reclamation Front

History

The All-American Civic Union (AACU) was founded in the early 1990s as a nationalist-populist political party within the United States, championing superhuman integration, military expansion, and a new era of American-led global unity. Comprised of politicians, industrialists, military officials, and ideological loyalists to Marcellus McIntyre Dior-Butler, the AACU served as the formal political vehicle for his rise to power and presidential campaigns in 1996 and 2000.

After Marcellus won the presidency and rebranded himself as "All-American," the AACU gained unprecedented influence. Its senior members were appointed to key positions across government, industry, and superhuman regulation. As the All-American Conquests expanded into Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and beyond, the AACU transformed into an international party apparatus, mobilizing disenfranchised populations and unifying separatist movements under the banner of Pax Americana.

However, following Marcellus’s defeat by Red Son II in 2006 and his subsequent imprisonment by the United Nations, the AACU was globally condemned and formally outlawed. Its infrastructure was dismantled, and its leadership was either imprisoned, exiled, or went underground. But the ideological flame persisted.

By 2009, loyalist elements of the defunct AACU reorganized into a paramilitary and ideological insurgency known as the All-American Reclamation Front (AARF). This new entity rejected diplomacy in favor of violent resistance, pledging to liberate Marcellus from lunar imprisonment and restore the dream of a unified world under his rule.

The AARF quickly established clandestine cells in over 40 countries, trafficking in weapons, cyberwarfare, and political destabilization. It gained notoriety for orchestrating bombings, targeted assassinations of UN officials, and the recruitment of rogue metahumans. Despite heavy global surveillance and sanctions, the group sustained itself through sympathizer donations, black-market arms deals, and funding of extremist political movements sympathetic to All-American ideology.

In 2023, the AARF reached its most visible apex during the UN Siege in New York, orchestrated in support of the Argonauts—Marcellus's children—who attempted to storm the UN headquarters and free their father. The AARF supplied over 200 armed operatives, rotary air support, advanced weaponry, and cyber-coordination for the assault. Though initially successful, the mission collapsed under opposition from the global hero Oathkeeper, leading to a decisive AARF failure. The Argonauts publicly disavowed the group in the aftermath and were subsequently branded traitors by the AARF leadership.

Despite this setback, Alphonsine Marie de Dior—Marcellus’s ex-wife and the former First Lady of the New World, remained a symbolic and strategic figure within the AARF. Even after her failed insurgency and reimprisonment, the organization covertly aided her relocation to a private estate under house arrest in Washington State, leveraging sympathetic bureaucrats and Dior family leverage.

The AARF’s most infamous tradition became the Annual Appeals for Clemency—global demonstrations, cyber-attacks, and coordinated disruptions timed with the UN's yearly review of Marcellus's lunar imprisonment. These events often escalated into symbolic violence, further hardening the group’s image as fanatical extremists.

When Marcellus was assassinated in 2040, the AARF declared him an immortal martyr and spiritual sovereign of Earth. This moment marked a dramatic pivot: the group adopted a quasi-religious doctrine, elevating All-American from political figure to divine redeemer. Ironically, while the martyrdom reinvigorated their zealotry, it fractured their global funding and logistical networks, as many saw the cause as now spiritually fulfilled and strategically hopeless.

Nevertheless, the AARF endures—fragmented, fervent, and still dangerous. It persists today as an underground ideological cult, terrorist network, and clandestine financier of fringe nationalist parties across the globe. The world may have buried Marcellus, but his war never truly ended.

Military

The armed wing of the All-American Reclamation Front (AARF) is formally known as the Continental Reclamation Forces (CRF). The CRF operates as a decentralized, multi-theater military coalition composed of loyalist paramilitary divisions, foreign irregular forces, and elite internal cadres. While technically non-state, the CRF functions with the cohesion, command hierarchy, and global mobility of a standing army. The CRF draws its manpower from a wide array of sources:

  • Disillusioned veterans from non-UCE nations
  • Privatized warfighters from rogue defense contractors
  • Ideological recruits radicalized in underground AARF doctrine cells
  • Failed state militias and mercenary bands aligned through mutual benefit or shared ideology

Its operational structure is twofold:

Tier I: Regional Militias (Paramilitary Partnerships)

These autonomous yet AARF-aligned militias form the sedimentary bastions of AARF military might—entrenched in local conflicts, providing regional leverage, and serving as feeder networks for supplies, recruits, and intelligence.

Africa

  • Sons of the River Waratah
    Operate along a volatile river valley in Central Africa. A militant eco-nationalist faction with animist underpinnings, they combine guerrilla tactics with spiritual warfare and riverine sabotage.
  • Unity Front of the Sahara Crescent (UFSC)
    A cross-border Islamist-nationalist insurgency based in the Sahel. Notorious for blending desert warfare with radical ideological indoctrination, they serve as the AARF’s logistical nexus across North and West Africa.
  • Black Mane Brigade
    Operating from the Congo Basin, this guerrilla faction draws upon pre-colonial warrior imagery and traditional belief systems to resist the multinational presence. Often utilized by the AARF for jungle operations and bio-warfare experimentation zones.

Europe

  • Nordic Iron Assembly
    Scandinavian ultranationalists armed with high-tech weaponry and mythologized Norse aesthetics. Skilled in asymmetric winter warfare, cyber operations, and cultural radicalization.
  • True Albion Guard
    A British paramilitary movement espousing pseudo-historical Anglo supremacy. They specialize in urban paramilitary demonstrations, media disruption, and recruitment within disenfranchised working-class enclaves.

Asia

  • Red Sandalwood Front
    Maoist-ecologist insurgents operating in Southeast Asia. Their deep forest networks and anti-industrial rhetoric make them ideal for covert operations, sabotage, and counter-technology campaigns.

South America

  • Vanguardia Justiciera del Pueblo (VJP)
    A hardline Marxist-Leninist guerrilla army with roots in indigenous peasant movements. The VJP functions as the AARF’s primary force for rural insurgency, land seizure, and ideological conditioning across the Andes and Amazonian corridors.

Tier II: Homegrown ForcesThe True Believers

The elite expeditionary corps of the Continental Reclamation Forces is comprised of "True Believers"—indoctrinated AARF loyalists selected from across global cells. Unlike the regionally-embedded militias, the True Believers are fully nomadic, hyper-disciplined, and equipped with advanced gear and augmentations when available. They are deployed internationally for:

  • Strategic assassinations
  • Clemency Day operations
  • Hostage extractions
  • Sabotage of UCE infrastructure
  • Elite support for insurgent breakthroughs

This force acts as the AARF's ideological sword, striking swiftly, decisively, and often without a trace.

Foreign Relations

The All-American Reclamation Front (AARF) maintains a deeply adversarial stance toward the United Confederation of Earth (UCE), viewing its supranational legal authority and globalist governance model as a direct threat to its foundational ideology of national sovereignty, superhuman supremacy, and American-led unification. As such, the AARF actively operates within and cultivates strategic alliances in Non-Aligned Entities—states and territories that fall outside UCE legal jurisdiction and refuse to acknowledge the authority of the Supreme Court of Earth (SCE) or INTERPOL.

These Non-Aligned regions function as de facto strongholds for AARF operations, serving as sanctuaries for leadership, training camps, financial laundering hubs, and black-site research facilities. In exchange, the AARF offers logistical networks, paramilitary assets, and covert operations to further the interests of host governments, particularly those seeking to undermine UCE cohesion or disrupt global stabilization efforts. AARF foreign policy relies on three core tactics:

  1. Diplomatic Subversion: The AARF systematically targets vulnerable or politically divided nations considering UCE accession. Through a mix of covert influence campaigns, digital propaganda, and ideological infiltration, it seeks to derail or delay membership processes and cultivate domestic opposition to UCE integration.
  2. Strategic Corruption & Coercion: Utilizing its extensive transnational network, the AARF engages in large-scale bribery of officials, funding of fringe political parties, and economic coercion. This includes providing illicit technologies, military-grade enhancements, or intelligence access in exchange for political insulation and protection from extradition.
  3. Escalatory Terrorism and Targeted Violence: In nations where subversion fails, the AARF resorts to direct action—employing bombings, assassinations, or mass destabilization events to discredit UCE-affiliated movements and deter populations from supporting international governance. These acts are carefully calibrated to instill fear, provoke overreach by state security forces, and portray the UCE as oppressive or incapable of ensuring domestic sovereignty.

Due to these tactics, the AARF is officially designated as a Tier I Transnational Terror Organization by INTERPOL and the UNGSC. Its operatives are subject to immediate apprehension by UCE member states, and its assets are frozen wherever identified.

Nonetheless, the AARF continues to survive and adapt, shielded by rogue regimes, anti-UCE ideologues, and the lingering mythos of Marcellus McIntyre Dior-Butler, whom it now reveres not only as a martyr but as a prophet of global reclamation.
