It takes place in 2102, 10 years after the end of ''VideoGame/FrontMission1''. Things in the Oceania Cooperative Union (OCU) are unstable due to a coup that's taking place in Alordesh, which was formerly known as Bangladesh. The game centers on three persons from the OCU security forces. They consist of Corporal Ash Faruk, Captain Thomas Norland, and intelligence officer Lisa Stanley. While pro-coup Alordeshi security forces take on pro-government forces and OCU troops stationed in the country, Corporal Faruk and some surviving members of the Muddy Otters unit attempt to leave Alordesh. They encounter survivors of Dull Stags unit, led by Captain Norland. He offers to help them before they're captured by pro-coup forces by getting the help of Saribash Labra, the CEO of the transport business Burg Transportation. While Labra gives them his support to help them escape, Stanley is tasked to infiltrate Alordesh and investigate why the coup started. Later on, it's revealed that a mysterious third party has offered pro-coup forces assistance and have an unknown device with the codename FENRIR.
