The Malton Civil Defense Unit is a group dedicated to protecting the survivors in Malton and maintaining order in the city. The MCDU is a member of the Department of Emergency Management.

Group Backstory

Once the city erupted in chaos, the frightened people of Malton had no one to turn to for help. Arson, looting, and mass hysteria made even the most level headed citizen dangerous. An outbreak of a deadly virus was turning the city's people into mindless, flesh eating zombies. As droves of people ran to escape the city, a few brave souls ran back in. They went to save lives and do what they could. These men and women have several titles...firemen, police officers, military personnel, and doctors. But it is their other title, the one of "volunteer" that makes them who they are. They know there is a chance they might lose their lives in the line of duty, but it is a chance they have to take. Heroes don't grow on trees, but sometimes you can find them right down the street. If you are a citizen of Malton, and you need help, please locate a member and they will assist you.

You are not alone. Help is on the way.

Group Goals

Since 2006, the MCDU has operated as a civil defense unit with the goal of protecting the citizens of Malton. As such we do not have an official home, and have operated in every suburb within the city. The group undertakes a variety of tasks in support of survivors: including but not limited to assaulting infested territory, defending suburbs, operating revive points, and rebuilding ruined areas.

As a civil defense unit, the MCDU accepts players of all walks of life. We are firefighters, engineers, veterans, college students, and musicians. All members receive top training in The Academy before moving on to an actual unit.

Currently, the MCDU consists of three units:

• Unit Three "The Hell Hounds"
• Unit Four "The Shadowmen"
• Unit Seven "The Red Storm"

Historical Units

These units served with distinction but were later consolidated into the units we have today:

• The SRU "Special Response Unit"
• Unit Five "The Night Stalkers"
• Unit One "The Death Dealers"
• The 'Cade Brigade
• Unit One "The Eye of Ra"
• Unit Two "The Black Knights"
• Unit Five "The MACH Team"
• Unit Six "The Coven"
• Unit Eight "The Legion"

MCDU Alt Character Policy

In addition to the rules and regulations that all others in the DEM abide by, MCDU members agree to a higher standard with regards to alternate characters. You may play any style of alt you wish...zombie, human, PK'er...whatever. However, the MCDU maintains that no alternate character of yours may kill an active MCDU member. This is considered a conflict of interest and in poor taste. Also, in following Urban Dead rules and DEM policy, your alts may not reside in the same suburb as your active MCDU character. It's fine to play them, just make them lead a completely separate life from the MCDU and its whereabouts. Failure to comply to this, or causing an MCDU member's death with one of your alts, is grounds for termination from the MCDU (subject to review by MCDU command).

Merits and Ribbons

The Department of Emergency Management has a series of DEM Merits and Ribbons it issues to members who display mastery over key skills. The ribbons can be claimed by any member with the profficiency of the skills entailed. Summary of these ribbons and the means to claim them can be found on the DEM Merits and Ribbons page.

In addition to the DEM ribbons above, the MCDU also awards these ribbons to their personnel only:
