After following Molov trough the Lab, Shrike betrayed Molov and Tangier stole the Nanotech Cell from him and escaped. After they located the Nanotech base below Sopot's statue, Alias made his way trought Molov's soldier and killed off Repta. After the death of Sopot, Crate Molov took control of the Commonwealth and declared the Red Faction a terrorist organization including Squadmembers Alias and Tangier.Īfter they escaped, Alias and Tangier helped the weakened and leaderless Red Faction fight the remaining Commonwealth forces and discovered Molov's plan to create new NanoTech-enhanced soldiers to conquer the world. After heavy fighting on the street between the rebels and the loyalists, Molov's squad managed to track Sopot into the Citadel and one Squadmember known as Alias finally managed to corner and kill Sopot. As the war continued, the Red Faction and Molov's squad attempted to kill Sopot in the Propaganda Building in Sopot City but escaped to the Citadel. Eventually a squad of six super soldiers led by Crate Molov would join them out of convenience. The Commonwealth was led by General Victor Sopot, a dictator who went to war by invading a neighbording nation called the United Republic, the war eventually led to a humanitarian crisis that later exploded into a civil war between a rebel militia inspired by the Red Faction. It's unknown when it was formed or why but it was an isolationist state and did not take part in the Earth Unity Act with the other 162 countries, and was therefore not a part of the Earth Defense Council.

Earth is the setting of Red Faction 2, the Republic of the Commonwealth is a coalition of nations that had hostile diplomatic relations with the Earth Defense Council.
