The Roblox Assault Team

The Roblox Assault Team (R.A.T.) is a long-lived, powerful clan on ROBLOX. It is currently 3rd largest Military Group/Clan in Roblox, behind Vortex Security (V.S.), the second largest, and First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.). They are currently lead by ColourTheory. The Roblox Assault Team is a generally well-liked clan. Their homeland is a planet known as Frostaria. Although some members of the Robloxian Community call the clan a dictatorship, no evidence of a dictatorship has been shown. R.A.T. is respected not only by its members, but also throughout the clan world.

History
RAT was truely started by Cezza123 with his 2nd in command, Stealthmatt around 2009. It was, at first, a modern military monarchy clan. However, It later transitioned into an empire soon enough known as "Dark ages". Stealthmatt which became 2nd leader of RAT after Cezza123 left, became very infamous at a rapid pace. RAT fought clans such as X-101st, EW, REF and many other famous clans of the day. However, the memorable Ro-War against UCR was easily the largest and most famous. The RAT Empire and The UCR with help of RHC (where D4 & TDfall turn up) faced off against each other in perhaps the most talked about ROBLOX Clan War in C&G History. No one for sure knows who came out the ultimate victor, but UCR was found to be the likely winner with a few help from RHC.

RAT then entered the modern period of its history, with its new and current leader, ColourTheory. RAT experienced another rapid growth stage, growing to its present amount of 76,000 members. This was the point in time when R.A.T.'s combat skills were greatly improved due to increased training and new reforms made by ColourTheory. In early 2010, RAT teamed up with its former rival UCR to fight new superclan F.E.A.R. The war ended with a victory for RAT and UCR. FEAR and RAT later became close allies. RAT defeated JC in a war in Fall 2010, TRA in a final battle in September 2011, and X-101st in June 2012. RAT also fought in one of the most followed and controversial wars in Roblox History against The Vaktovian Empire. The war ended in a draw in early 2012. RAT then got into a war with F.E.A.R. Vortex Security, Urban Assault Forces, and X-101st are allying with RAT in this war. RAT then also went to war with UCR, along with UAF, X-101st, The Grand Imperium, and The Grey Army. After a leader change in UCR, the war ended, and RAT and UCR became allies. There is a final battle between RAT and FEAR being planned in order to determine the victor for that war. Since then, F.E.A.R. has been removed off of the enemies list. RAT is now at war with Nightfall Clan (N.F.C.).

Cezza321
Cezza321 is a true original creator of RAT, he is the 1st that headed RAT & put SteathMatt as his 2nd in Command. He later left RAT & give StealthMatt in charge of RAT. RAT was not famous at this point, as it only had 50-100 members.

StealthMatt
StealthMatt made RAT famous after they release their very 1st HQ. In his reign, RAT became very famous, then it went from 50-100 members to around 20,000. After RAT's member count passed UCR, benblue9 (owner of UCR) declared war on them. After a raging war, Benblue9 and ThePhantomHourGlass (who are cousins) supposedly planned to take down StealthMatt. TPHG convinced StealthMatt to give him RAT, but allegedly never paid him the money he promised. TPHG allied RAT with UCR. The two cousins were the rulers of ROBLOX.

ThePhantomHourGlass
Commonly known as TPHG, he owned RAT for a reasonably large amount of time. TPHG allied RAT with UCR after their Ro-War. TPHG is known for owning most of the super-clans in 2009, including RAT, UCR, FC and some others. SM agreed to sell it to TPHG, a leader and former owner of UCR. There has been some speculation that TPHG scammed SM out of RAT, but it was never proven. TPHG proved a capable leader, excelling in diplomacy, and when the situation called for it, fighting. Veteran RAT members thought lowly of TPHG, seeing how they saw RAT as just UCR controlled. Many of them quit RAT for Stealthmatt's "RUM" or "ROBLOX United Military". Although he is no longer leading R.A.T., he is the Second in Command in the group today. He now uses the account, Meowmixxed.

Ploober33
Ploober33 owned RAT for approximately 24 hours. Some say it was because TPHG was on vacation. He still is in R.A.T. today.

Bobob55
Bobob55 also owned RAT for a short time but he reformed RAT into a more modern/futuristic military, with help of ColourTheory (then known as Donkeyo4). He is still in R.A.T. today.

ColourTheory
Once known as donkeyo4 as they called him D4, but his name was changed due to a Roblox moderator's accident. He is the current leader of the Roblox Assault Team, dismiss rulzalot as the 2nd in command because of inactiveness, Counterclockwork as ColourTheory's second in command. Vader10 as third. cj10127 as the fourth. The old 2iC named Stelation left for personal reasons and started an old group named Stelation Corporation back up.

Colourtheory has gotten the group in a lot of wars since his position as leader. His reign has defeated several groups. He was the leader during the war with VAK, which was one of the most followed and controversial wars in ROBLOX history. While both sides claimed victory, most players agreed that the war ended in a tie.

TDFall and Hurtroboryan both got RAT while donkeyo4's name was deleted and changed.

Divisions

The ROBLOX assault team schoolars division

Not much is known yet it will be responsiblle for making frostarian lore.

Fort Borealis
Borealis is R.A.T.'s newest fort. The fort is located in a tropical climate on a series of 9 islands known as the Borealis Islands. The Borealis Islands were named after the Aurora Borealis, aka "The Northern Lights". These islands lie far north of the main Frostarian habitable continent. It lies in the Border Ocean, the ocean that separates the colonies in the frozen wasteland and the cities and society in the main continent around the equator planet. There exist 5 islands: Borealis Alpha, Borealis Beta, Borealis Omega, Borealis Gamma and Borealis Crown. The battle takes place on the largest island, Borealis Crown. The main fort is on the biggest island, with a man-made canal dividing the island right down the middle. The fort itself contains two outposts: a raiders' base and a Roblox Assault Team base. The goal of the game is to defend one base while trying to take over and attack the other. The R.A.T. base contains a main road with several buildings on each side. The raiders' base contains a broken wall with tents and multiple buildings. The base is relativly fair, with each side having access to the same weapons and vehicles, and spawning in their own base. To capture the terminal, players must stand on the terminal for the opposing team until a flash drive tool appears in their Starter Pack. They then must bring this flash drive to their terminal, and stand on it. In 20 minutes, the other team wins. Also, players can unsecure the other terminal, causing members of that outpost to spawn outside of the base. Fort Borealis has recently been released in August 2012, and was released as a part of the R.A.T. project Spectrum. The fort contains new technology never before seen by the Roblox Assault Team, such as a unique terminal system, new weapons, and new vehicles, in addition to other new technology. The fort took Celeste II's former gameslot and hit the front page almost immediately. The popularity of the game got RAT over 2,000 more members in the week of its release, as well as giving the gameslot over 1,000,000 place visits..

Fort Celeste [Outdated]
This is R.A.T.'s main fort. It is the oldest out of all of the other R.A.T. forts, and it has been updated several times. Celeste is the most popular R.A.T. fort, amounting to over 900,000 visits. Two versions of this fort have been released since the fort's creation, with a third in the works.

The first version was known as Fort Celeste I. It was modeled after X-101st's Fort Franneh. Located on a tropical island in the middle of a vast ocean, the fort was surrounded by a spiked wall. To raid the fort, raiders entered from a hole in the back of the wall. The fort itself contained a horizontal building that had an armory, prision, lobby, control room, meeting room, and offices.

Celeste I was then upgraded to Celeste II. Located in a frozed climate, this version differed from the original in several ways. The building was a vertical skyscraper, as opposed to a horizontal building. The second version contained all the things the original did, but this version had additions as well, such as a control room, clinic, and Sparrow Corp. Offices. In order to raid this fort, raiders must take a boat over to the snowmobiles, and ride one over the fort walls. R.A.T.'s new fort, Fort Borealis, has been moved into Celeste's gameslot and Celeste has been made outdated. This could change, however, once Celeste III is released.

Fort Equinox
R.A.T.'s second most popular fort after Celeste, this fort is also one of the older forts for The Roblox Assault Team. Fort Equinox is a little bit more dated than Celeste, and no plans have been made thus far to update the fort. The fort has over 150,000 visits and over 3,000 favorites. Located in a tropical climate, the fort itself is carved into the mountains. The inside of the fort contains an obsticale course to get to the flag, an armory, meeting room, barracks, offices, and a recreational area. These areas are spread out throughout the base. There is also an elevator that takes players to the top floor, which contains more offices. The fort has several vehicles as well. These vehicles include a helicopter and a jet. The fort used to have a nuke plane. This plane dropped bombs that could easily destroy the fort and kill other players instantly. Because of abuse by both R.A.T. members and raiders, this plane was since taken down.

Fort Cygnus
Fort Cygnus will be the second fort to be released as apart of the Spectrum project, with Borealis being the first. This fort will be in a cold environment similar to Celeste II, and it will most likley take the place of Celeste III. It will be more of a fort design, and will contain new land and air vehicles. A release date for the fort is currently unknown.
