Scientific Institutions
Orlovich Institute for Biomedical Reformation (Russia)
Founded by Dr. Viktor Orlovich, this once-prestigious lab became the birthplace of Necronyl. After the outbreak, it was sealed off. Rumors persist of a fortified underground complex in Siberia, possibly still active.
WHO Division ECHO-9
A special emergency taskforce created by the World Health Organization, dedicated to studying regenerative pathogens. Their primary system, EchoNet, formed the basis for global infection surveillance before communications collapsed.
Military & Political
Global Quarantine Coalition (GQC)
A NATO-UN emergency alliance formed in late 2025. Initiated the "Fire Curtain" protocol—controlled wildfires to slow undead migration. Collapsed after the failed defense of Berlin and massive casualties among leadership.
ARC Directive (Autonomous Regional Command)
Emerging after national governments fell, ARC units coordinate isolated safe zones. Each ARC operates independently, using localized law and defense protocols. ARC-7 (Greenland) is considered the most stable, though contact is intermittent.
