With this advanced level of military technology, the EDF commences a reorganization of the Ultor Corporation with a particular focus on enhanced supersoldiers and suitable weaponry. However, the research that was done by Capek in his laboratories in the first game has been consequently stolen by other militant groups and assorted criminal terrorist organizations.
