Extinct EoIs
NOTICE FROM THE OIRS CLASSIFICATION COMMITTEE

The anomalous world is no stranger to endings.
AoIs, GoIs, and EoIs in general come and go, with a few notable exceptions. But for those who did not last the sands of time, they are recorded here.
If you have any questions regarding the status of these entities, please contact the Office of Information Records and Security (OIRS).
The predecessor to FOA, a competitive pro-communist anomalous organization operated by the Stasi (east german secret police), when East Germany was absorbed, this group was absorbed by FOA and Iron Initiative remnants.
