Players take the role of a field commander for a private military company, providing orders and controlling formations of modified civilian androids, known as T-Dolls, in order to battle enemies on a map of interconnected nodes. The T-Dolls are named directly after the guns they wield, and are depicted as personifications (gijinka) of them. The game's plot, set in the year 2063 after a Third World War, begins with the Ukrainian android manufacturing company Sangvis Ferri going rogue, and the Griffin & Kryuger PMC being contracted to destroy the androids and robots that have hijacked the company. | ||

[[File:ARTeamLogoLocation.png|300px|thumb|left|The AR Team logo was the first official project by the Girls' Frontline community.]] | |||
The first project officially undertaken by PlaceFrontline was the emblem of the Antirain (AR) Team, the main characters of the game's story. It was first completed at 16:35, being situated on what was then the site of the [[Flag of Ukraine|Ukrainian flag]]. From there it would survive until 47:29, when it was taken over by a [[Flag of Poland|Polish flag]]. | The first project officially undertaken by PlaceFrontline was the emblem of the Antirain (AR) Team, the main characters of the game's story.

Once more, the template had to be shrunken down, into what was dubbed "Mini M4". Her location, directly adjacent to the [[Baltimore Ravens]], resulted in PlaceFrontline establishing communications with them and trying to establish an alliance. However, the Ravens fans were uncooperative and belligerent, trying constantly to extend their borders into M4 slightly. Ultimately, shortly after the Great Whiteout started, PlaceFrontline raided the Baltimore Ravens logo, successfully destroying them before M4 herself was destroyed. | ||
M4A1 was subject to a [[The Void|Void]] raid by [[xQc]] at 64:03 and was completely destroyed; but, with the help of allies, she was rebuilt so fast that xQc was forced to redirect his viewers elsewhere. | M4A1 was subject to a [[The Void|Void]] raid by [[xQc]] at 64:03 and was completely destroyed; but, with the help of allies, she was rebuilt so fast that xQc was forced to redirect his viewers elsewhere. | ||

Initially intended to be placed to the top-right of [[M4A1]]--as that is where the skull icon appears in the game--PlaceFrontline opted to add the skull to the bottom-left instead, as that was the only spot in the area where there was enough room. This placement was inadvertently right next to [[Peppy]], accidentally giving the skull a whole new meaning as Peppy proved to be remarkably resistant to any form of raiding. It survived unscathed until the Great Whiteout. | Initially intended to be placed to the top-right of [[M4A1]]--as that is where the skull icon appears in the game--PlaceFrontline opted to add the skull to the bottom-left instead, as that was the only spot in the area where there was enough room.

As part of a plan with the [[Gacha Alliance]], PlaceFrontline, as well as multiple other gacha communities, collaborated to create a large grid of app icons at the bottom-right of the canvas. While the icons for [[Arknights]], [[Blue Archive]], [[Guardian Tales]], [[Fate/Grand Order]], [[Honkai Impact 3rd]], and [[Genshin Impact]] were filled out quickly, the planned space for the rest of the icons was cut off by a [[Second Flag of Argentina|second flag of Argentina]]. After a hasty reorganization and a remake of the template, the Girls' Frontline app icon was added to the left of the Arknights icon, and successfully stayed there until the Great Whiteout. | As part of a plan with the [[Gacha Alliance]], PlaceFrontline, as well as multiple other gacha communities, collaborated to create a large grid of app icons at the bottom-right of the canvas.
