Editing Nor-Pac

'''Nor-Pac''' is a multi-tiered military organization established in the wake of the fall of [[NATO]] in 2011 CE, during the expansion of undersea colonization and resource exploitation efforts that came from that time period. Following the near-cataclysmic [[Livingston Trench Incident]] of 2017 CE, Nor-Pac's assets were absorbed into the [[United Earth/Oceans Organization]] (UEO); to a degree, ad-hoc references to UEO operations prior to the UEO's establishment are Nor-Pac's, due to their interchangeability in the eyes of its personnel.

== Artificial Intelligence ==
Sometime during the development of ''[[seaQuest DSV 4600]]'', Captain [[Nathan Bridger]] had his brain mapped for use in an artificial intelligence construct, as part of a means to advise captains in military engagements. A copy of it was recovered sometime prior to 2021 CE by a former UEO intern and installed into a prototype [[Marauder-class submarine|''Marauder''-class submarine]]. The upload to the submarine was corrupted, but complete enough that the more militaristic aspects of Bridger's personality, including Bridger's war game [[NSC-2012]], became defined in the [[Nathan Bridger (AI)|ship's artificial intelligence]] and the autonomous submarine turns renegade {{Ep|The Sincerest Form of Flattery}}.

== GELFs ==
Experiments on [[GELF|GELFs]] in the wake of genetic experimentation being outlawed in 2004 CE by the United Nations continued as part of a clandestine part of Nor-Pac<ref>While the UEO was not established until 2018 CE, many assets were absorbed from Nor-Pac and earlier iterations, including dark projects. When [[Nathan Bridger]] mentions "UEO," he is speaking of Nor-Pac, even though it may be construed as a continuity error.</ref>. Due to the threat of Macronesian discovery of such damning evidence, Captain Nathan Bridger leads a small team to the facility (now in Macronesian territory) to recover and destroy all evidence as a [[Section 7]] operation {{Ep|Good Soldiers}}.

== ''seaQuest'' ==
''[[seaQuest DSV 4600]]'' was designed and built under Nor-Pac's auspices sometime mid-2010s CE, with Captain [[Nathan Bridger]] overseeing its development up until the apparent death of his son, [[Robert Bridger]], which lead to his resignation from Nor-Pac military service. ''seaQuest'' was brought online, commanded by Captain Bridger's protege, Captain [[Marilyn Stark]], and her executive officer, [[Jonathan Ford]]. Many of ''seaQuest''<nowiki/>'s key military personnel were later transferred from Nor-Pac to the UEO, including [[Miguel Ortiz]], [[Timothy O'Neill]], and [[Phillips]].

During the [[Livingston Trench Incident]] in 2017 CE, Nor-Pac Command attempts to communicate with Stark, successfully relaying orders at the last minute to stand down. Stark ignores these orders and attempts to unleash ''seaQuest''<nowiki/>'s arsenal in a first strike, but Ford stops her and relieves her of duty {{Ep|To Be or Not to Be}}.
