'''Stalburg Nuclear Weapons''' or '''S.N.W.''' (S.N.W in logo) is a secret military organization that was founded after the second world war. The goal of the organization was to build nuclear weapons in order to defend their country in the event of another war.
==History==
The organization was highly secretive and it was unknown to the general public of Stalburg.
Some years after World War II, several unknown military representatives, among them [[Sven Olsson]] contacted [[Jeff Walter]] to help create and fund an organization with the purpose of researching and developing nuclear weapons to defend Stalburg in the event of another war. It would appear the initial leadership of the project was genuinely interested in protecting Stalburg, and Jeff Walter was under the same impression. Other military officials however were corrupt, and actively used the S.N.W project as a way to profit and secure control over Stalburg.  


= Story =
S.N.W used Walter's funding and influential name to develop plans for constructing a [[bunker]] under the Walter Tower that would be used to house the research laboratory for nuclear weapon development, as well as  centrifuges to enrich uranium. The construction project was undertaken by Stalburg Engineering Co., who signed a confidentiality agreement.


Some years after the second world war some unknown military representative contacted Jeff Walter and multiple high ranking officials to start a new organization with a goal to research and develop nuclear weapons in the event of another war. This organization became known as the S.N.W.
Rather than finding willing scientists to develop nuclear weapons, S.N.W operatives practically kidnapped scientists from Stalburg's Atomic Research Team (including [[Xeander Berg]], co-founder of the [[Bergmann Group]]) to work on the project. The scientists were to be kept in the bunker's accommodation wing next to the laboratory and weren't allowed to contact anyone outside of the project.


The S.N.W. used Walter's funding to build an top secret [[bunker]] under the Walter tower and secret reactor control rooms near the Stalburg nuclear power plant reactors, that were used to filch Uranium and smuggle it to The Bunker.
During the construction of the bunker, the construction team encountered "something". What that 'something' was isn't specific, S.N.W deemed it worth investigating and discovered what they would call [[SMV|S.M.V]], forming a smaller scientist team to create biological weapons. The team discovered that the Stalburg's native green mushrooms can cause an invasive disease that causes hallucinations and violent behavior, eventually leading to a slow death. All information regarding S.M.V was sold to an unknown party.  


Of course a project of this scale needed plenty of scientists, so S.N.W. operatives practically forced a bunch of scientists including [[Xeander Berg]] to work on the project. The scientists were held captive in an accommodation wing next to the laboratory. The scientists were not allowed to contact anyone outside of the project.
S.N.W used Walter's influential company to get rid of three major companies in Stalburg for various reasons.


During the construction of the bunker they encountered some [[SMV#Mushroom Types|green mushrooms]] and set up a small team to investigate them. The team discovered that the mushrooms can cause a disease that eventually leads to a slow death. This disease became known as the [[SMV|S.M.V or Stalburg Mushroom Virus]].
*[[Hammer Valley Hydro]]
**S.N.W reasoned that Hammer Valley Hydro had too many connections to the Bergmann Group.
**S.N.W wanted to use the [[reserve2|Hammer Valley Dam]] as a secondary power source for the bunker.
*[[Bergmann Group]]
**Bergmann Group built the majority of Stalburg's underground infrastructure, including several areas around the bunker. S.N.W wanted to use the underground tunnels to smuggle uranium from the nuclear powerplant to the bunker, as well as have control over any underground area near the bunker to avoid exposure.
*[[Stalburg Steel]]
**The [[Union of Metal Workers]] was a major civilian legislative body, getting rid of Stalburg Steel would incite civil unrest, and allow S.N.W to gain control over civilian legislative bodies through a military mandate.
**S.N.W knew the Stalburg Steel offices contained sensitive information about their organization acquired by Mikhail Rosenthal and his criminal connections, which they didn't want to fall into the wrong hands.


During the S.N.W. project the corrupt S.N.W. leaders began to take advantage of Walter's funding to build biochemical weapons (presumably using the S.M.V virus) and sell them to highest bidder. They also used Walter to get rid of three major companies in Stalburg:
At some point, S.N.W also constructed a secret control room in the [[Npp|Black Rock Nuclear Power Plant]] that could be used to control the reactors, but were mainly used to filch uranium and smuggle it to bunker. They presumably continued to intimidate all of the power plant's managers to keep the room secret.  
* [[Hammer Valley Hydro]]
**Reason 1: The S.N.W. thought that Hammer Valley Hydro has too many connections to the Bergman group.
**Reason 2: The S.N.W. wanted to use the Hammer Valley dam as a secondary powersource for The Bunker.
* [[Bergmann Group]]
**Reason: Bergmann Group has built the majority of Stalburg's underground infrastructure, including several areas around The Bunker. The S.N.W. wanted to use the underground tunnels to defend the city and smuggle Uranium from the SNPP to The Bunker.
* [[Stalburg Steel]]
**Reason 1: The S.N.W. thought that Stalburg Steel offices contained some sensitive information, which they didn't want to fall into wrong hands.
**Reason 2: Metal Workers Union was a major civilian legislative body. Getting rid of Stalburg steel and UMW would grant the military extended mandate over civilian legislative bodies


Jeff Walter eventually discovered what S.N.W was really doing, and attempted to expose them, but was hunted by their operatives and nearly caught in his office. Walter went into hiding for the next few years attempting to expose S.N.W, but was murdered by Alex Hartman.

On August 8th 1986 a metro train full of passengers took a wrong turn and ended up crashing into the bunker. The S.N.W. leaders did not want to risk the public knowing about the S.N.W. Project so they executed all the passengers aboard the metro train. This resulted the guards to make stand against the S.N.W. leaders.
Following the accident, Xeander Berg and one other scientist managed to escape the bunker. S.N.W started to search for them with help from the Stalburg police department. Shortly after Berg's escape, something happened that caused a leak of S.M.V The bunker was immediately evacuated with everything left behind.


Shortly after the accident Xeander Berg and another unknown scientist managed to escape The Bunker and S.N.W. started to search for them with the help of Stalburg police.
After the bunker was condemned, S.N.W held a meeting aboard a local steam ship, and decided that due to the contamination risk nobody would be sent to retrieve what was left in the bunker, and the S.N.W project would be discontinued. All personnel stationed at the nuclear power plant would be assigned new tasks while operatives would keep in contact with the manager to make sure nobody found the control room. S.N.W continued searching for Berg, but were unable to find him. No consequence came of S.N.W's actions for over 30 years.  
A day after the escape of Xeander Berg the S.N.W. Operatives evacuated the bunker because of an S.M.V leak was detected.
Shortly after the Evacuation the S.N.W. project was shut down and all the S.N.W. personnel were given new tasks.

Stalburg Nuclear Weapons or S.N.W is a secretive military organization that was founded after World War II. The goal of the organization was to build nuclear weapons in order to defend Stolland. The organization was highly corrupt and was unknown to the general public of Stalburg.

INFRA[edit | edit source]

During the events of INFRA, structural analyst Markku Siltanen uncovers the conspiracy visiting his various inspection targets and journey through Stalburg's underground infrastructure during a field day gone wrong. He photographs incriminating evidence inside the bunker, including the crashed train and bodies of the missing metro passengers, finds a confession tape from Walter that shows he was being manipulated, as well as discovering a list of names of S.N.W operatives that becomes publicized. The conspiracy comes to light and all corrupt leaders behind the S.N.W project are arrested for treason and face a life sentence.
