Information[]
The Foundation has provided advanced technology to numerous other factions. Although it has huge military power, it is a neutral faction that merely sells technology.
It was founded by a group called the Migrants, although there are rumors that its existence predates the other three major powers.
Fairly early into the game, the Foundation orchestrates a "Mini-Coup" by activating a "Black-Box" that they planted into the UNACS' source-code. The reason for this, according to the Foundation Leader, was for research to test mankind for attributes similar to that of the Dark Raven, and once they found one, they would eliminate them. They also seem to fund, or at least are allied with the Reaper Squad, and have refurbished a Armored Core NEXT called the N-WGIX/v ; including the reactivation of several old-world weapons (such as the To-605, Scavenger, Ootheca and Ammon, as well as the Exusia), reactivated the hidden functions of several Towers, were in the middle of creating a weapon resembling one from the Last Age (Spirit-Class Moving Fortress) and also used a new unit, the LiV.

VoW Archive 10: The Foundation[]
A research organization dedicated to the analysis and reproduction of Last Age technology.
While their considerable contributions to the arsenals of the Three Forces constitute an impressive military holding, the Foundation has elected to remain neutral in the current conflict, selling arms to all sides indiscriminately. One theory suggests the organization was founded by traveling merchants known formerly as the Migrants, while others claim the Foundations' existence predates the Three Forces. Photo credit: VoW |
