The teamwork as agents of the Global Agency for Threat Excision (G.A.T.E.) and acts under the direction of American and British intelligence.
Valiant teased the arrival of a new Unity in August 2013. Unity Executive Editor Warren Simons described the book as being a thematic extension of the original 1992 event in that it unites several of the corners of the Valiant Universe for the first time. The book was launched with the intention of being accessible to new readers, more so than any other book since the relaunch with X-O Manowar. The book kicked off with Issues #1-#4 crossing over with X-O Manowar Vol. 3 #19-#22.
Valiant announced that the title would end in December 2015 with a 48-page issue comedy anthology. The final issue will feature stories not just from regular writer Matt Kindt but others including James Asmus, Elliott Kalan, Tim Siedell, Michael Kupperman, Ty Templeton, Donny Cates & Eliot Rahal. When it was decided to make the final issue a comedy anthology Unity editor Alejandro Arbona got in contact with several writers, including some new to the Valiant Universe.
After Aric of Dacia escapes from the clutches of the Vine aliens and returns to Earth he seeks to claim a large portion of what was formerly his home nation of Dacia, now modern day Romania. The world however, does not take lightly to the invasion of Romania. Russia in particular who share a border with Romania are primed to attack.
To prevent warfare from breaking out Toyo Harada, CEO of the Harbinger Foundation, enlists the help of the Eternal Warrior who had unsuccessfully tried to talk his old friend Aric out of his invasion. Harada plans to use his own team of powerful Psiots to take down Aric while he has assassin-for-hire Ninjak take down X-O Manowar's ship. The plan ultimately fails with the Psiots being taken down before a battle can take place and Ninjak getting captured by X-O.
