-=DUTY=- DUTY Information

[Blake.H]

"Lethal anomalies, Dangerous mutants, Anarchists and bandits, They will not stop Duty on it's triumphant march to save this planet and it's citizens!"

Duty is a paramilitary clan of stalkers operating in the Zone, with members living according to a code. They, along with Freedom, are also one of the most powerful stalker clans in the Zone. The founding members of Duty, as well as many of its subsequent members, were originally Ukrainian Military troops and Special Forces units sent into the Zone and left to die there after being nearly killed by the Zone's mutants and anomalies. Other members are ordinary stalkers who have seen enough of the Zone's horrors, and have decided to do something about it. Duty sees the Zone as an ulcer in the world that must be purged at all costs, as they believe that if left unchecked, mutants will soon break out of the Zone and attack the outside world. They achieve this by killing all of the Zone's manifestations, namely Mutants, in the process bringing them into conflict with factions such as Freedom, who believe the Zone is something beneficial. Duty also fights against other factions such as the Bandits and Mercenaries, who extort Stalkers for personal gain. With superior equipment and fervently dedicated members, they fully intend to achieve their goal.

Duty representatives often refuse to trade unique items from the Zone with the outside world.

"Guys in camouflage with shield stripes were not just there in the vicinity of a "Freedom" camp to get a tan. "Dutiers" were sitting, concealed by trees and ruins, making not the slightest sound. Even when "targets" appeared in their view, they waited.
Only after letting their enemies come closer, they have revealed themselves, shooting to kill. None of the "free men" have escaped that day.
Wisp was the last one standing, cornered on the second floor of a desolate house. He returned fire for a long time, not letting the "dutiers" come near him. Then Draco ordered to blast him with grenades.
Wisp was still alive when we came. His right arm was ripped off, and he had a splinter in his stomach. Draco had to spend another bullet on him."

History


Duty is primarily made up of the survivors of military expeditions into The Zone, sent to take its territory under governmental control in the wake of the very first stalker incursions in 2009. Anomalies and mutants caused many casualties, while those who managed to survive eventually made their way to the Rostok Factory, where they stayed, fighting off monsters and coping with hunger and deprivation. When passages cleared up, they returned to the military, only to be sent right back in, as the Ukrainian government considered such highly trained Zone-experienced combatants to be immeasurably valuable. As such, the military sent them right back to the Zone to hold key positions, cleanse areas of mutants and pave the way for large-scale military operations.

Duty was founded by then Captain Tachenko, a squad leader of a team of specialists who were tasked to destroy the center of the zone using nuclear explosives however were nearly wiped out by an emission that followed. They founded Duty as a way to survive in the zone as they were left for dead by the military.

The Current duty is still at a full on war with the Freedom faction and is equally hostile to the Ukraine Military.
