The Cannonball Crew (CC) is a mobile combat unit dedicated to protecting Malton from the undead. The group specializes in coordination and real-time assaults to deny zombies any ill-gotten meals. Its unofficial headquarters is Strange Bank in Barrville, but members are more likely to be found battling zombies throughout the city. As a nomadic force, the Cannonball Crew enjoys a variety of missions involving all aspects of the game. Being part of the Crew means fighting alongside a group of experienced and knowledgeable players who have your back. | The Cannonball Crew (CC) is a mobile combat unit dedicated to protecting Malton from the undead.

In July of 2005 a group of soldiers ([http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=4437 Tony Blair], [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=11896 Freedom] and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=12905 Kyouto]), each of whom had special recon training (Free Running), worked together to defend Eastonwood's [[Felix General Hospital (Eastonwood)|Felix General Hospital]]. Although barricades did not exist at the time and the group was vastly outnumbered, they were able to defend their safehouse by employing regular patrols and hit & run raids. Tony Blair began to refer to the trio as the "Cannonball Crew," because they struck fast and hard like a cannonball and were more mobile than their larger counterparts. The Cannonball Crew formed alongside the original [[Council of Leaders (original)|Council of Leaders (CoL)]] and became the CoL's military wing, as well as, the first strike team in the city. | |||
Its veteran members have been playing Urban Dead almost since day one. They've experienced every game update and witnessed firsthand its growth and evolution into the grand experience that it is today. The group has weathered many storms and fought in numerous epic battles including the [[First Siege of Caiger Mall|First]] and [[Second Siege of Caiger Mall]], [[Bashing Back: The Battle of Pitneybank|The Battle of Pitneybank]] and the annual [[5th of November]] and [[Mall Tour|Mall Tours]]. Many survivor and zombie groups have come and gone, but the Cannonball Crew has endured because of its devoted members and the camaraderie they've built. Long live the Crew. | |||

The Cannonball Crew employs a military-style rank system (see [[Cannonball_Crew/Ranks|Ranks & Insignia]]) and members rise through the group based on their participation and performance. New members start as [[Loose Cannons|Loose Cannons (LC)]]. Active and dedicated Loose Cannons then advance to become Loose Cannons Soldiers (LC Soldiers). Loose Cannons Soldiers who distinguish themselves are then eligible to become full-fledged Cannonball Crew members. Cannonball Crew members that exhibit leadership skills are then eligible for a position in the Command Staff. | The Cannonball Crew employs a military-style rank system (see [[Cannonball_Crew/Ranks|Ranks & Insignia]]) and members rise through the group based on their participation and performance.
