Created in 2004, Fort Fairson's original mission was to test clothing materials and packages for Military rations across all the branches. As it began to grow in the 2010s, the purpose of the fort was changed. The first weapons test at Fort Fairson was in 2020, when the Army began testing laser technology at the base. When the Chinese took over parts of Alaska during 2067, many of the base's secret technologies (Radar Technologies, aircraft plans, new types of missiles, etc.) were revealed to the Chinese.
