Item#: SDS-035	Clearance Level 2: Restricted
Containment Class: Alyph	Disruption Class: 4/High
Secondary Class: Neutralized	Risk Class: 3/Warning

Special Defensive Safeguards

Containment of SDS-035-A was deemed neigh-impossible with current resources in the area, and a significant redirecting of resources to the region was unreasonable based on the usual non-interference of SDS-035-A. Though it was thought that SDS-035-A was immortal via conventional means, and the only method of permanent long-term containment would be to somehow trap it.

SDS-035-A's Influence originating from SDS-035-B was to be limited via whatever means possible with a network of Specialised Reality Anchors surrounding the borders of SDS-035-B. This network was managed by Reliquary-Site-16, located on the borders of SDS-035-B. Any armies attempting to enter SDS-035-B are to be redirected or engaged.

Any attempts to stop SDS-035-C have been stopped in the past by everyone being induced into the trance-like state induced by SDS-035-C, and thus it is recommended to let SDS-035-C complete its event.

Description

SDS-035 was a collection of designations related to the sovereign nation state internationally known as "The Holy Lands of Abraham", or just "The Holy Land". This terminology clearly gave off the religious nature of SDS-035, as it was very closely related to the 3 main Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) alongside other more minor Abrahamic faiths.

The first object was SDS-035-A, a human-like being with the appearance of a Middle-Eastern & Caucasian, visibly aged, white haired man. SDS-035-A acted as the "leader" of SDS-035-B, and claimed to either be God or somehow related to him. There was no verification on if SDS-035-A truly was the Abrahamic God or not, thus the SDS Foundation had him designated as a highly powerful reality-warper which radiated unusual levels of Divine Energy. SDS-035-A resided in a large floating structure situated above Temple Mount.

The second object was SDS-035-B, a territory in the Levant falling under the sovereignty of the nation state known as "The Holy Lands of Abraham". SDS-035-B was under the control of SDS-035, and had the highest recordings of Divine Energy to ever be discovered. Any military incursion into this land lead to the complete destruction of whatever society has attempted this, often resulting in the rise of a successor society with a dramatically lowered rate of Atheism among its populace, in turn for a rise of one of the three major Abrahamic Faiths, The method that SDS-035-B used to achieve these victories is through SDS-035-C. Despite this destruction of invaders, SDSB-035-B was seemingly still accessible via normal means, however only by Devout Christians, Muslims, Jews, Baha'i, etc. It is unknown what happened to atheists who enter The Holy Land, as any that have been sent have disappeared. The SDS Foundation attempted to limit the travel to and from SDS-035-B, but going through with this was fairly difficult.

SDS-035-C was an collection of beings that supposedly were angels. They acted as a 'heavenly' defence force and army for SDS-035-B which acts out SDS-035-A's will. It was unknown if SDS-035-C is responsible for instilling the religious values in the societies that it conquered. SDS-035-C never actually killed anyone, and instead seemingly placed its enemies into a trance-like state, following SDS-035-C back to their home nation as they restructure its society into a religious state. The only full-scale event in which SDS-035-C had restructured a society is Yetia, which was divided into several sovereign states (Francia, Germania, Hispania, Lusitania, Helvetia, Ostmark, Nederland) until its eventual reunification by a Yetian restorationist organization based in former Rome and Apothelis.

Disappearance of SDS-035

In 396 an unusual broadcast was picked up by Site-16 staff originating from SDS-035-B with the message; "Fine then, you may have your regency underneath the heavens. Just remember, [INDECIPHERABLE], your domain will only last as long as the falsehood that [INDECIPHERABLE, /kræsʲimɨr/?] forged is not uncovered by the followers of those you once feared". Following this broadcast all anomalous effects attributed to SDS-035 appeared to have vanished. An expedition from Site-16 later on verified that this had in fact occurred, though they were regardless pushed out by a force loyal to the Concord of Armed Exorcists aligned with a new non-anomalous regime calling itself the "Holy State of Canaan". No further anomalous effects have been identified following this point, leading to SDS-035 being reclassified as Neutralized.
