HISTORY OF THE TENTH
The origins of the Tenth date back to the year 2012 when its predecessor, Odin, took part in the Auraxian wars in ‘Planetside 2’.
Known as the “First Founding”, Odin was initially conceived as a black-ops unit capable of operating autonomously in hostile environments. Due to the units unique and highly effective approach to the conflict, the face of Auraxis, and the way the endless war would be fought, would be changed forever. However, because of internal strife within the command hierarchy of the unit, the Outfit would be disbanded and soon lost to memory.
It would not be until the year 2015, during the “Second Founding,” that a successor chapter would be formed. “Wardogs”, a quick reaction / special operations force, rose from the ashes of the former Outfit and cemented themselves as the premiere special forces unit of the Connery Sector. Recognized as the apex in clandestine operations, the Wardogs SF reputation for unparalleled efficiency and discretion within the Auraxian theater, carved their place into legend.
With the war on Auraxis drawn out into a perpetual stalemate, the group began to set its sights on a new theater of conflict. With the emergence of never before seen expansion, exploration, and conquest, the group set to the Stars and what is known as the ‘Third Founding,” once again evolved to become the famed “Tenth Company”.
Over the next few years, they would produce some of the greatest fighters and Officers the systems had ever seen. Using the lessons of the past, the “Tenth Company”, also known as 10co, refined the traditional, unit based training, and pioneered the way in Officer and Command level training and doctrine.
The result was one of the most combat effective groups seen in the Verse, able to take small squads of highly skilled fighters, and completely annihilate platoon level hostile opposition. As the discovery and exploration of the Verse continued to expand known boundaries, the 10th once again found itself at a crossroads and turned to a new chapter within the “Fourth Founding.”
Finding a home among the stars, the 10th, now known as the “10th Caliban Special Operations Group,” would enjoy a short time of peace; before being thrown once more into the fires of war. Their new home would be threatened, and ultimately devastatingly lost in a conflict now known as “The Fall of Caliban.“
The face of this new enemy would rise to such vile hatred, that it would become the sole focus of the now nomadic Battlegroup, as it roamed the stars in its Eternal Crusade to avenge the fallen, and take back their Homeworld.
