Sounds great, but do you plan on making Dark Stalkers open to the players?
No, I've decided to try to avoid messing with the faction set-up from last game, as it worked extremely well. I'd join Monolith, for a similar experience. (and only added the UN to make Admining easier).
The Story Thus FarAfter a patrol of military helicopters crashed into the marshes outside of Yantar, a team of soldiers was sent in to retrieve it from occupying Monolith forces. While Monolith was able to hold off the military from capturing the black box, they were unsuccessful in decoding the information inside. In turn, the Bandits were able to sneak unnoticed past the Monolith defenses and retrieve the Black Box while they were engaging the Soviet Military Forces. In turn, the Bandits were able to sell the Black Box back to the Military forces, making a considerable profit in doing so.
As time went on, more and more Stalkers began entering the Zone, and the military was unable to stop the flow of new blood. While most of these Stalkers were killed, or worse, captured by Monolith, quite quickly, one of them, it seems, has escaped from the Monolith, and made his way out of Pripyat, into Yantar. He now claims to have found a way to destroy the Monolith defenses around the area of Pripyat, and is willing to guide people there, for a price. This knowledge has become a major factor in the Military's new strategy, as the information the Military has decoded from the Black Box reveals Monolith labs deep inside of Pripyat that have developed terrifying new weapons...
