This User is part of the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad and takes up arms against the Zombie Invasion, The PH and anything inbetween.

The Malton branch of the Special Tactics And Rescue Squad is a group of elite soldiers and deputized citizens dedicated to rescuing as many survivors as possible. Led by Serge -The Special Tactics and Rescue Squad Operates out of East Grayside

S.T.A.R.S. History: Before Malton...

The S.T.A.R.S. were founded in New York in 1967. The privately funded S.T.A.R.S. organization was originally created as a measure against cult affiliated terrorism. But as time went on and the S.T.A.R.S. grew, they moved into riot control and hostage negotiation. The S.T.A.R.S. were then taken over by Stephen Wolfe in 1988. When Malton was quarantined, the government chose the S.T.A.R.S. to come in and control the situation. They never did contol the city...After a battle killed almost all of Wolfe's men, he decided to deputize citizens and make them part of his new found S.T.A.R.S. After forming a board of leaders, others soon followed. Now they have become one of the strongest groups in South Malton, and have protcted the suburb of East Grayside for over a year and have now expanded to protecting Wray Heights.

Notice- If you should come into contact with someone on this page, DO NOT attack or harm them in any way unless you are provoked. Until a state of open warfare is declared with our enemies, our rock-solid policy on PK'ing remains in effect.


  • A RAPE SPIDER - apparently has a grudge against STARS members due to unlawfull assault from one of our members. Claims to be with us in his group area, but isn't.



- STARS Are Ordered NOT to shoot at any member of the Grayside Demons or Rowan Mayfair and his alts.

Everybody wants to be us!

  • Many people have been posing as S.T.A.R.S. members and PKing lately. Here is a list of people who are impersonating us currently, listed in alphabetical order:
Chris RedfieId Attacked an Allied Group member.
cameronv killed our Russian applicant; On Waterside Ave. It's unclear if cameronv was a zombie at the time (communication is hard) but he's not S.T.A.R.S.
Jerick--not exactly sure who this fellow is, but he is not a S.T.A.R.S. member, though he is listed on the Rogue's Gallery as a PKer.
Mr East has been collecting 'bounties' as if we had hired him.
Psycho Vet has "STARS Special Branch" in his group area, but does not have that position as there is no special branch.
Demon Warlord proclaimed over STARS Frequency that 3 members of STARS were imposters and to KOS. This is false information, and instead, this target should be considered KOS ... no quarter given.


KOSAG: Kill On Site And Grief

A RAPE SPIDER Has STARS in his group area, but is most certainly not one of us, as he is trying to PK some of us. Was upped to KOSAG on orders by Major General John Killah. UPDATE: Reformed and now a member of SNAKEHOUND.--James Madley 14:09, 22 September 2008 (BST)


If you were killed and the person who killed you is listed here, please let us know. ~Ohaerisig.pngu t STARS

Several PH also did this for a time, you'd recongnise them they speak Spanish. Oh and so are some members of the Predators.--Meinstorm 17:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Special Tactics and Rescue Squad Hall Of Fame

  • This is a place where the best of the best retired STARS can be honored for their accomplishments.

1.

- JD was one of the very first STARS members, and really got the group up off its feet. JD met the STARS after the devestating attacks in Wray Heights in late 2005, and introduced the world of Urban Dead to them. He is the one who made us an "offical group" and he saved our asses more than one time. ;) JD was second in the first annual Malton Ididarod, and he brought honnor the the STARS. We are sad to see him leave, but honnored to have had one of the best players Malton has ever seen.

  • Now JD has now come back after an extended leave. Aaaah! Attack of the oldbies! ^_^ ~Ohaerisig.pngu t STARS

- JD's a bit inactive now - The Cop Profile 10:51, 10th July 2007 (GMT)

2.

- One of the most intelligent, and useful soliders the STARS ever had. He was the main technician for the STARS and also was part of Stephen Wolfe's elite soliders. He was always ready to follow orders, and was well respected among his peers. He committed suicide, after depression took its toll.

-After a long break, Aran has returned!--Mayor Fitting 17:17, 7 October 2006 (BST)

-Aran is more of a sleeping Forum Watcher now - The Cop Profile 21:45, 23 May 2007 (GMT)

3.

- Founded the STARS. One of the best and most respected men in Southern Malton. Founded the STARS in December 2005, and attempted to set up a camp in Wyke Hills, after his first operation failed, the STARS settled in East Grayside, and the rest is history. Wolfe was powerful, and a amazing tactician, he led the STARS through the PH War even though it had many ups and downs, and he led the team through numerous zed attacks that rattled the team. Wolfe vanished sometime in May 2006 and left the STARS in the hands of Chris Hollis shorty after.

4.

- A very charasmatic leader, he succeeded Stephen Wolfe as the leader of STARS. He led STARS through many of times, the biggest being the Forum Hijack by a BoL Member. However, he battled on and was, and still is a extremely well respected man both within Southern Malton and the group. He has had many acheivements and became the bigger man between PH and The Allies(might as well be called that seems though there were multiple group against them) by ending the war between them. However, he became bored or being leader and became bored of playing the game and held a Leadership Competition, and eventually left the group in the more then capable hands of Serge. He will always be remembered as one of STARS's Greatest Heros!

  • Chris Hollis is still around, looking over STARS, still a bit of an idiot :) The Cop Profile

5.

- First thing you could say about Meinstorm, was he was very lazy. But despite that, he'd worked his way up to a very respectful position within the group. One of the first 10 People to Join STARS, He participated in many major battles that established the STARS that the group is today. Upon Chris Hollis's ascension to Commander, Meinstorm was given the title of Applications Review/Approver, as well as 3rd in Command. He remained with STARS for over two years, being one of the longest serving members that STARS has ever had. May he hold the honour, for he will always be remembered. He still remains an Admin on the groups Forum.

6.

  • Greg Melayne

- Joined the same day as John Killah, they both irrevocably ended up in the same position as 2nd in Commands. Greg participated heavily in the PH Wars, helping G4361 co-ordinate many of the groups efforts. Upon Chris Hollis's acsension to Commander, Greg was given the position of Intel Manager and the Group Representative, and a place on the BoL, though no 'In Command' was given. Towards the end of his STARS BoL career, he was given the upgraded title of Intelligence Director, Co-Planner of Group Activities ... Not to mention finally gaining his own squad: Intelligence Reconnaissance Unit 12. Unfortunately, Greg was then deemed MIA, and retired from STARS. He remains a Tactical Advisor incase he ever returns.
