DUTY
This article is incomplete. you can help by expanding it.
Overview
Starting first as a group of rangers and mercenaries, DUTY became a pivotal political and offensive force within Chernarus in their quest to better understand Day Zero, the infection, and the rise of cannibalistic, evil survivors like the Cult of Papa. Whether they left the country or became victims of their investigations, they are remembered as strong fighters and leaders despite the number of enemies they made.
Alignment
DUTY considered themselves “Lawful Neutral.” They had a strong, personal code and rules of engagement, hoping to bring order to areas of Chernarus of importance to their goals.
Appearance
Duty members were known to wear an orange armband and would not wear green camouflage to differentiate themselves from the common militant groups of Chernarus. Their formal uniform included a blue hiking jacket or orange raincoat with accompanying blue/black accessories, while informal/field garb ranged between tan/brown/black.
Origins
DUTY started as a group of mercenaries based out of the Green Mountain area of Chernarus. Led by a survivor named Ender, the group offered services for clearing out towns of infected, security detail, and other mercenary-type work. They often ventured to Myshkino and Zelenogorsk to search for military supplies that would aid them in this work, and in doing so interacted with or spoke to other survivors in the area. Not all members were ex-military; however, they did have military-like discipline and worked to protect certain areas of the map while they discovered more about Chernarus. This curiosity and continued interactions with survivors put them in a position to lead and research more about the area.
Territory
Duty originally claimed the area around Green Mountain, but eventually abandoned this area to move north to the Tisy Military Complex. Their formal declaration of territory was both claiming the base itself and creating a denial zone around it to others in order to safely research and secure the base from bandits/evil doers. This declaration put them at odds with many groups, most famously of Black Paw.
Goals
Duty’s primary goals were as follows:
- Eradication of the Infection through any means possible.
- Research/Combat the Zero-Infection, a communicable prion disease.
- Destroy those who seek to propagate the disease and any/all derivatives thereof.
Secondary goals included:
- Counteract Black Paw's Opposition of Duty and broader society
- Investigate the Bureau
- Preserve Tisy from the destruction of looters and bandits
These goals were their main objective; they still from time to time conducted mercenary operations such as overwatch, escorting, and extraction.
Values
Duty valued discipline, honor, and integrity in others and themselves.
