Vortex Special Ops

Vortex Special Ops is one of the superclans of Roblox. It has over 38000 members as of January 20, 2013. The war group was founded by Shain1, and is currently owned by VSOGeneralShain1, his alt, since Shain1 was banned forever for cursing on Roblox. Vortex Special Ops uses a Free VIP recruit method, which is seen in DANGERTIM122's Build to survive the zombies. Vortex Special Ops has been infamous for plagiarizing its fort from a smaller war group called Roblox Infantry Corps(which has more than 8000 members).

Ranks
Vortex Special Ops' ranks are military based and most are earned through Knock Outs in trainings at the group's training place.

Private is the lowest rank, and has the most members at over 36000. According to the group guide, they must obey all orders given by higher ranks except Private First Class.

Private First Class is the next rank, and the rank does not have any significant differences, and must be earned by getting 25 KOs in trainings. However, VSOGeneralShain1sometimes makes exceptions and promotes privates to this rank for simply wearing Vortex Special Ops' uniform.

Corporal is the 3rd rank, and is earned by getting 70 KOs in trainings. As stated in the group guide, they are allowed to create and lead squads with 2 other members, but must be lower than this rank. Despite the group guide, they have no authority over Privates.

Sergeant is the final low rank, and is earned by getting 120 KOs in trainings. They can form a larger squad than corporals with up to 4 other members lower than the rank Sergeant, and like Corporals, do not have authority over Privates despite the guide.

Lieutenant is considered a middle rank, and is earned by getting 200 KOs in trainings. Often, it will take more time to get promoted to this rank because VSOGeneralShain1 wants approval from current High Ranks. They can be in the Airborne division of Vortex Special Ops, and can ask for permission to use aircraft. They have a responsibility of limited authority over low ranks when there are no High Ranks online, and can form squads with up to 9 low ranks.

Captain is the first High Rank of Vortex Special Ops. Unlike previous promotions, this rank is earned through being appointed by VSOGeneralShain1 who usually picks the most active Lieutenant. They have admin commands in forts, and they have full authority over lower ranks including Lieutenants. They also get access into the High Rank division of the group, which gives them upgraded versions of the weapons used in the forts. Captains can also form very large squads with 19 Low Ranks or Lieutenants.

Colonel is the highest obtainable rank in Vortex Special Ops. Colonels are appointed through being active like Captains, but this is enforced to a higher level. Colonels can promote and demote members without permission from VSOGeneralShain1 and have a slight authority over Captains. The squad size difference from Captains is not large, being able to have up to 22 members below the rank of Colonel.

Lieutenant General, referred to as Commander in the group guide, does not have much difference from the rank Colonel. The rank was a gift to the biggest contributor to Vortex Special Ops, Proevil. It is also used as the rank of VSOGeneralShain1's alt, TheLegendaryShain1. This rank cannot be obtained, and can have upto 54 other members in a squad lower than Lieutenant General.

General is the leader of Vortex Special Ops. The current General is VSOGeneralShain1, and has all the powers of Lieutenant General. The General does not create Squads, using the group itself as the "Squad". For a time, Jordandog100, VSOGeneralShain1's most trusted High Rank, was temporarily made General until VSOGeneralShain1 got Builder's Club and finally took back the rank. Shain1 is the original founder of the group, but was banned forever and VSOGeneralShain1, his alternate account.

Divisions
Vortex Special Ops has 3 divisions, formerly 2.

Vortex Special Ops: Airborne is the 1st division, which is a special air force position given to Lieutenants. It does not have much difference from the main division, but gives access to aircraft in both Vortex Special Ops' copied fort and Fort Shadow.

Vortex Special Ops: High Ranks is the 2nd division, being the division High Ranks are in, containing Vortex Special Ops members at the ranks of Captain, Colonel, Lieutenant General, and the General.

Vortex Special Ops: Naval Forces is the 3rd and newest division, and also has the most members, having less strict rank requirements, and has Vortex Special Ops members at almost all ranks except Private. It is the only division not founded by VSOGeneralShain1(or Shain1), but by a former High Rank in Vortex Special Ops. It was later taken over by VSOGeneralShain1 as an official division.

Fort Shadow
Fort Shadow is the alternate fort of Vortex Special Ops. Though it is only a secondary fort, VSOGeneralShain1 allowed people to raid it. This fort is not copied, and features a new area for Vortex Special Ops: Naval Forces. The fort is more fair than its copied official unnamed base, with raiders having the same weapons as Vortex Special Ops, though High Ranks are an exception.
