History[]
Early History[]
In 1986, a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl experienced a catastrophic meltdown, resulting in the evacuation of Chernobyl's population and the city's abandonment due to nuclear contamination. Years afterwards, the secretive organization Eteon established a facility near Chernobyl to produce biotech and weaponry.
2019[]
After escaping from Eteon super-soldier Brixton Lore, Luke Hobbs, Deckard Shaw, and Hattie Shaw located a Russian scientist named Andreiko, who created the initial version of the Snowflake. He tells the trio about a special extraction machine stored at the Eteon Weapons & Biotech Facility in Ukraine which could safely remove the Snowflake from Hattie's system. Knowing that the facility was to heavily guarded for a ground assault, the trio travel to Moscow to visit Margarita, a high-profile thief and a contact of Deckard. There, she granted them an ion detonator, weaponry, and a way to infiltrate the facility via airdrop, also planning to have Hattie delivered to Brixton as a ruse to take her to the extraction machine.
The following day, Luke and Deckard airdropped into the facility, although there were captured soon after, where Brixton attempted to force them into joining Eteon as per the wishes of Eteon's director. However, the duo escaped with Hattie and the facility was destroyed by the ion detonator planted by Luke and Deckard earlier, although the extraction device was damaged during their escape. Luke then decided to take the Shaws to Samoa to enlist the help of his brother, Jonah Hobbs.
