<!-- Groupbox Template -->
In 2005, two groups, the [[Crossman Defense Force]] (CDF) and the [[Liberation of Crossman Department]] (LCD), were created to protect [[Crossman Grove Police Department]] in [[Darvall Heights]]. Their story began when a zombie group invaded Darvall Heights, which ultimately resulted in the uniting of the neighborhood. The two groups emerged as powers to be reckoned with in the aftermath of the battle, and the undead were pushed back for a time.

<!-- Highlight Box for Header -->
The LCD and CDF each had a long history, with all the makings of a great story: friendship, brotherhood, hate, heated arguments, fighting side by side and back to back. For a time it seemed that both groups loved Darvall Heights too much, and each developed their unique vision for the suburb, which inevitably led to friction between the groups. In the end, however, the love for their home reunited them once again, and after a final battle near the end of 2008, where the two groups set aside their differences to stave off a horde of invading zombies, it all ended. Both the LCD and the CDF broke apart and faded into memory, becoming historical groups.

The story does not end there, however. After traveling for some time and continuing to experience a sense of restlessness, Cortonna, the LCD's former leader, spoke to Zod Rhombus, the CDF's leader, in the hopes of establishing a new group made up of their remaining former troops. Zod agreed, and the two established the new group. Thus, the Soldiers of Crossman was born, inviting all ex-LCD and ex-CDF soldiers to join together so that they can continue the good fight.
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.

Since then, the Soldiers of Crossman have had their highs and their lows. Growing to include over 50 members when the survivor population was at its height, the Soldiers have dealt with the gradual decline of the city's population by preserving a solid core of quality soldiers who can remain effective in a changing environment. Throughout it all, the mission has remained the same: to unite the Northwest in the name of the good fight.

: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.

The Safety of Home


: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'''.

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.

Soldiers of Crossman - History.
Soldiers of Crossman
Soldiers of Crossman


Every group has a history. A beginning and an end. Our story began with a rebirth from the ashes, but our history goes back even before our birth.

In 2005, two groups, the Crossman Defense Force (CDF) and the Liberation of Crossman Department (LCD), were created to protect Crossman Grove Police Department in Darvall Heights. Their story began when a zombie group invaded Darvall Heights, which ultimately resulted in the uniting of the neighborhood. The two groups emerged as powers to be reckoned with in the aftermath of the battle, and the undead were pushed back for a time.

The LCD and CDF each had a long history, with all the makings of a great story: friendship, brotherhood, hate, heated arguments, fighting side by side and back to back. For a time it seemed that both groups loved Darvall Heights too much, and each developed their unique vision for the suburb, which inevitably led to friction between the groups. In the end, however, the love for their home reunited them once again, and after a final battle near the end of 2008, where the two groups set aside their differences to stave off a horde of invading zombies, it all ended. Both the LCD and the CDF broke apart and faded into memory, becoming historical groups.

The story does not end there, however. After traveling for some time and continuing to experience a sense of restlessness, Cortonna, the LCD's former leader, spoke to Zod Rhombus, the CDF's leader, in the hopes of establishing a new group made up of their remaining former troops. Zod agreed, and the two established the new group. Thus, the Soldiers of Crossman was born, inviting all ex-LCD and ex-CDF soldiers to join together so that they can continue the good fight.

Since then, the Soldiers of Crossman have had their highs and their lows. Growing to include over 50 members when the survivor population was at its height, the Soldiers have dealt with the gradual decline of the city's population by preserving a solid core of quality soldiers who can remain effective in a changing environment. Throughout it all, the mission has remained the same: to unite the Northwest in the name of the good fight.
