The Reunion Movement, commonly known as Reunion, is the main antagonistic faction of the first part of the Arknights' Main Theme. It is a paramilitary social movement of the Infected which seeks to end all forms of discrimination and oppression by Terran society against them.

Background[]

The Infected Plight

The Infected's plight is one of the factors which led to Reunion's rise

The origins of the Reunion Movement can be traced to the advent of Catastrophes in Terra, which lead to the proliferation of Originium and the Oripathy pandemic. Those who became Infected by Oripathy became marginalized members of society, as non-Infected began fearing that they were sources of disease. While many Infected attempted to find a peaceful solution, many united in their hatred of non-Infected and chose to utilize force to liberate themselves from the systematic oppression they faced.

Good Old Reunion

Reunion was founded by Talulah, who originally intended it to be a shelter for the persecuted Ursine Infected in the Northern Tundra. After Talulah struck an alliance with Patriot's Guerrillas and FrostNova's Yeti Squadron, it rapidly grew in a short span of time, eventually incorporating Infected from other Terran countries into their ranks. At first, Reunion waged an armed insurgency primarily against the Ursus Empire for its poor treatment of the Infected, but it later became more active around Terra as a whole through pro-Infected protests and other forms of non-violent civil resistance.

We Are Reunion

The Reunion Movement assembled

The current Reunion was born after Talulah burned an Ursine village to the ground in retaliation for their killing of the Infected. The tragedy led her to guide Reunion towards a more militant route by advocating for violent, radical methods of protest, such as riots, sabotage, and even acts of terror for the "Infected cause." As a consequence, the movement has been designated a terrorist organization by all Terran nations. In truth, Talulah was under the influence of Duke Kashchey of Ursus, who used her position as the leader of Reunion to steer them towards a "self-destructive path," seeing Reunion as the "perfect sacrifice" to further his grand scheme of "making Ursus great again."[1] While Reunion had become a puppet to fulfill Ursus' imperialistic ambitions, it was also used as a tool by Regent Theresis of Kazdel and the Military Commission to distract other nations from their mission of unifying the Sarkaz and restoring the genuine "Teekaz" through his sponsorship of mercenaries.[2]

After Kashchey's defeat at the climax of the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis and Talulah's incarceration at Rhodes Island, Reunion was seemingly disbanded and no longer posed any major threat to the Terrans, though the atrocities they committed continued to cast a shadow over Terra. However, Nine managed to reunite the scattered remnants of Reunion as they went underground to continue their struggle for the Infected cause from the shadows. Currently, their eyes are set on Victoria, as they intend to answer the call for help from the Infected workers in Londinium.
