Perhaps I missed it, but how is this different than the regular RWBY-verse?

Also, in my experience, war is one of the few times governments really focus on science, so they can get an edge on their enemies. For example, all of the scientific advancements we have from the Space Race were only because the US didn't want to get shown up by the USSR/Communism.
