This contact with Relics and OGAS later led to Carter's association with William : in order to start a new World War and have the Neo-Soviet Union conquer the enemies it signed ceasefires with at the end of World War Three, Carter planned to reactivate a Starfish and part of the abandoned OGAS network, which would constitute a breach of the Relic Arms Reduction Treaty. In 2032, the OGAS facilities at OKB-413 were attacked by terrorists who tried to overload the Pike node, and Havier Witkin and Carter both participated in their elimination. To preserve the research that had gone into OGAS, Mikhail Tsvigun, director of the 16th Directorate of the KGB specializing in Relics technology, drafted the cutoff of the military nodes of OGAS, but fear of Relics technology quickly dried funds allotted to properly mothball the system, and it was ultimately hastily deactivated as the Soviet Union transitioned into the Russian Federation in 1991.

The 1983 Geneva Convention expanded the reach of the Treaty, and all military usage of OGAS was abandoned by the Soviet Union to make it a strictly civilian system to control state economy. Their efforts were however stopped short six years later by the Relic Arms Reduction Treaty, when Relics weaponry proved too dangerous to use due to ELID. For the Soviets, this especially meant integrating Pike C&C systems into OGAS. This latter point caught the attention of both the Pentagon and the Kremlin, who poured more funds into developing Command and Control systems like ARPANET and OGAS. Īfter the US had left Vietnam in 1973 over the Soviet threat of Pike deployment, the weaker forces of North Vietnam swiftly crushed the stronger South Vietnam army at the start of 1975 due to low morale and failures in the command chain. The OGAS network was used to relay the ternary control signal generated from the Tabasar-B relic to regional Starfish installations hosting a Pike node, from which Pikes could be activated and controlled. It used ternary logic like the Setun and Emelya-1 computers that were created after the analysis of the Urkunde-I Relic. OGAS was based on the reverse-engineering of a Relic excavated at OKB-413 near Minsk, theorized to have originally been designed as a life support automated control system. OGAS's tree structure meant that lower nodes could only perform critical operations if prompted by higher nodes, making it more secure against intrusion, but incurred structural weak points since entire parts of the network would be paralyzed if an upper node was destroyed during a military attack. ARPANET was more structurally resilient since it did not rely on a main control node that would act as a critical failure point if destroyed, but this horizontal structure meant that any node on the network could be accessed if one was breached.

Led by Victor Glushkov at the National State University in Moscow, the project was fundamentally different from ARPANET because its access paradigm relied on a tree-shaped command structure. The Soviet Union developed OGAS during the Cold War era as a nationwide control system, similar to ARPANET in the United States.
