Overview

Year Founded: 2019

Status: Disbanded


The Islanders were a group of hardened criminals that were left to rot within the Prison of Storozh Island, The Islanders escaped, survived, and eventually came to control most of the coastal towns and cities of south western Chernarus.

Consumed by the eerie darkness that has overtaken the island, those who still call themselves Islanders now find a higher calling. Some call it revenge, others call it justice.

Alignment

The Islander way was what they made of it individually, but as a group they engaged in friendly relations with those they had no quarrel with or those they considered friends. Any who dared swim to Storozh were judged by the intentions they came with, those who showed hostility to the island and its inhabitants were forever marked until they found redemption.

Appearence

The Islanders could be identified at all times by their light gray armband with their white Cthulhu emblazoned on it. Members preferred darker water resistant clothing due to their swim to and from the island.

Origins

The Islanders were founded by Johann Baptiste, one of the many surviving convicts that claimed the prison as their home. Along with other members such as Lucky and Max. The group was originally made up of only prisoners from before the infection, they turned their former prison into a fortress against all external threats.

As time went on the group reached out to its neighbors in the southwest and in the town of Chernogorsk to expand their sphere of influence. Groups such as the Pavlovo Trade Union (PTU), The 506th, and other various groups would become at the very least familiar with The Islanders trade and lifestyle of debauchery.

Territory

Storozh

This location served as the headquarters and home of the Islanders after their escape at the beginning of the apocalypse. It housed a functioning yard for rituals or ceremonies, storage, and a meeting point for those who wished to meet the mysterious inhabitants. The prison itself could function as an independent fortress during sieges.

Kamenka/Komarovo/Balota

These three coastal towns allowed the Islanders to keep a buffer between them and their mainland neighbors, mainly the Pavlovo Trade Union, The 506th, The Rangers, and others. Commonly used to defeat enemies or watch the waters for unwanted visitors it was not uncommon to find Islanders patrolling these towns or setting out on an expedition for Chernogorsk.

Kim’s Crackhouse - Chernogorsk

Kim’s Crackhouse (Not pictured) was exactly what the name eludes too. A drug den on the banks of Chernogorsk that peddled to those seeking drugs as an escape from their real life world problems.

Goals

The Islanders main goal was to protect Storozh and influence those around them as well as some of the more criminal elements of trade such as gunrunning, smuggling, and drug production and distribution. To accomplish this they followed a specific set of values.

Values

  • Protection: The Islanders swore to protect the island from any who would do it harm as well as protect their freedom.

History

The Islanders formed after the infection set free the inmates of Storozh. Free of their previous crimes and various sentences they set to work on fortifying the castle into a self-sufficient fortress to trade, smuggle, and consolidate power.

Through various conflicts of ideals, morals, and intercontinental politics rifts would form between some of their neighbors.

In early 2020, the Islanders hosted an underground fight club with the promises of riches, glory, and boasting rights.

While some say the attackers were there to collect on old debts, assassinate enemies, or disrupt the match for profit the answer is still unknown.

This led to numerous attacks on both sides as the tensions grew between the various parties. During one of the many storms that affected the Chernorussian coastlines Storozh island would be affected by a form of mass amnesia. While the members of the Islanders didn’t remember any of their old feuds, their neighbors would not forget and not forgive.
