Any group has a history, every group has a beginning and an end. Our story just started as we rise from the ashes but what was before then? Around 2005 the groups called Crossman Defense Force (CDF) and Liberation of Crossman Department (LCD) were created in order to protect the aforementioned police department called Crossman. It all happened after a zombie group invaded Darvall Heights and caused the survivors to fight for their lives or flee to safety but ultimately united the neighborhood. The two groups emerged in the aftermath of the battle and zombies were pushed back. LCD and CDF had a long history, which had every element for a good drama - friendship, brotherhood, hate, heated arguments, fighting side by side, back to back. It seemed both groups loved Darvall Heights too much and each had it's own vision for the place, which in turn caused some friction. In the end however the love for their home place reunited them and after a final battle towards the end of 2008, where the two groups fought side by side to protect their home from invading zombies, it all ended. Both LCD and CDF became historical groups in the history of UD and the journey came to an end. After traveling for some time but feeling restless Cortonna (ex-LCD leader) spoke to Zod Rhombus (ex-CDF leader) in the hopes of establishing a new group together comprising of what was left of ex-CDF and LCD troops. He agreed and the two started brainstorming plans on how to reestablish the new group. Thus Soldiers of Crossman was born, inviting all ex-LCD and CDF surviving soldiers to join us so that we can together continue the fight. Searching for what's left of both groups and new blood joining our ranks, the group's journey begins now.
- - Northern Watch -
- With the fall of LCD and CDF, it's remaining members organized and formed SoC in the north-east part of Darvall Heights. The suburb was ruined, dark and devoid of life, full with feral zombies ready to slaughter anyone they managed to find. The immediate priority was to find anyone alive, assist them and persuade them to join the cause. Unity and brotherhood was needed. This search brought to the current SoC roster and sparkled a new hope. With fresh reinforcements and supplies from Shuttlebank the troops gathered in the north-east part of the hood - the Goodson Motel and the Dustan Towers. From there on every building in the vicinity was barricaded and guerrilla tactics were employed due to the number of zombies around. After weeks of endless fighting, numerous sieges and take-over of buildings SoC has retaken and powered up most of the neighborhood. The battle for Darvall Heights continues.
- - Saving Private Rev -
- Our fellow brother Rev went into St. Pius's Hospital to help and rescue a trapped civilian woman. With the charnel smell that filled the hospital, it was clear that only zombies roamed this deserted place. Upon finding her location, a gruesome battle ensued, which resulted in the successful rescue of the woman. Unfortunately for Rev on the way back a wall collapsed right next to him breaking his leg in the chaos that followed. Slowly making his way to the roof of the hospital his radio transmission was picked up by Nervous Harold who organized the operation. SoC shock troops quickly organized, prepared essential supplies and moved in on his position. Meeting relatively low resistance, they quickly found their teammate. After damage assessment was done by the SoC medic it was deemed that Rev would have to stay immobile for 5 days or his leg would be untreatable in the present infested and quarantined conditions, making his chances for survival equal to zero. SoC troops quickly made a camp on the roof, setting up defenses determined to stay and hold for the 5 days necessary for their teammate to be carried and moved to a safe location. The operation quickly gathered zombie attention and soon almost every single zombie in the hood gathered outside the hospital. The unprecedented numbers surprised SoC defenses but everyone stayed firm and 4 days passed. It was deemed necessary that if the fifth night was to be survived local support would be needed as well as fresh SoC reinforcements. As the battle on the fifth night started few survivors showed up to help boost the defenses. With barricades broken and zombies quickly coming in SoC shock troops found themselves outnumbered, out of ammo, out of luck. But not out of dedication nor tenacity. Rev died the best death an SoC can die - death in combat, death amongst brothers. Inspired by the private's actions the SoC shock team went out in a blaze of glory staying until the end. For we SoC stand together, through victory or defeat, never leaving anyone behind.
- In the words of Lieutenant Bromhead whilst fighting:
- - To mangle a famous Shakespeare quote...
- "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
- For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
- Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
- This day shall gentle his condition:
- And gentlemen in Malton now a-bed
- Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
- And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
- That fought with us upon this gallant day"
- - Blazing Heat -
As summer begins to reach it's peak and the heat becomes almost unbearable, SoC troops continue to engage day and night the zombie ferals still ravaging in Darvall Heights. Situation has improved vastly over the months and from a deserted, dark wasteland, the neighbourhood is now mostly lighted up buzzing with radio-transmitions, survivors going back and forth repairing the damage and rebuilding the barricades. Caiger has been retaken yet again and SoC is doing it's best to hold ground there. Most of the ferals have gathered outside the Mall and there are a number of zombies who have assaulted the three hospitals south from Crossman PD and overrun successfully Taylor PD. The fight continues in an effort to fully reclaim Darvall Heights. As our numbers raise, structure and order improves tactical analysis suggest that the area pacification will be soon complete.
