Led by Sturm, and aided by new COs Lash, Adder, Hawke, and Flak, they aim to conquer the four nations. The Allied forces must unite to repel the invasion. The campaign culminates in a battle against Sturm and the Death Ray, a weapon threatening to destroy half of Wars World. Hawke ultimately betrays and kills Sturm, taking command of Black Hole.
