Fissure

Note: This page is about both Dream Game and The Forge and the Crucible.

The Fissure Empire
The Fissure Empire, also known as Fissure Corp. or just Fissure is both a nation and a corporation within the Dreamsphere. They have dozens of military outposts and laboratories throughout the world, such as Fissure Outpost #18, Frospitality, and Ocean Lab. Fissure is the enemy of the Causer Corps, which is a military pact consisting of many nations. The conflict between the two factions is evidenced by the fact that the Causer Corps drop a bomb on Fissure's Ocean Lab during the Ocean Nuke Event in Dream Game. The Fissure Empire seems to be inspired by The Russian Empire in the game Codename Eagle.

Military
Fissure has an organized army with various subdivisions. They have ships, planes, and many gunmen. Their military vehicles, aircraft, and army can be witnessed in the Death Wielded Event and in the Coming Storm depth dream in Dream Game. Also, Fissure have artificially engineered chasers which are unethically mass-produced men who mindlessly fight to serve Fissure. Many of them can be seen attacking intruders in Fissure Outpost #18 like zombies.

Religion
Most members of Fissure believe in Josafárian Theocracy, such as ILoveMyWife. However, Old Nicky might be a Christian as the Holy Bible can be found within The Guardian.

Leader
WeGottman is said to be the leader of the Fissure Empire. GVR mentions him as an "administrator."

Logo
Fissure's logo is a coat of arms featuring a silhouetted two-headed eagle. The logo is inspired by the European cover art of the game Codename Eagle. In older versions of Dream Game, Fissure's logo was a crack with a moon symbol peaking through it. A small explanation for the old logo comes from the meaning of the word fissure. The inspiration for the old logo comes from the game Myst, where the intro features Atrus (the main protagonist) falling into a crevice with the moon above. This is also known as the Star Fissure.
