Vortex Security

Vortex Security is a superclan with over 90,000 members, making it the 2nd largest superclan behind First Encounter Assault Recon. It is a modern Military Corporation, using the newest technology available. Vortex Security is currently owned by AricLatios, Vortex Security's 3rd owner.

History and Reform
Justgoaway1 was popular before starting Vortex Security. He had created many popular games, including "Roblox- Paintball Unlimited" and "Desert Canyon Warfare." He created the clan of Vortex Security with help from trick555, the UCR President at the time. Together they advertised the Recruitment Center in UCR, through Roblox Ads, and eventually it made the Front Page of Games. It stayed on the front page for days, and eventually gained 10,000 members. It continued to rise, sometimes gaining hundreds of members in a day, until it eventually came to the current member count at just above 90,500, the second largest clan or group on Roblox.

In January 2012, justgoaway1 stated that Vortex Security would be going through a "manly reform", in which almost everybody would be demoted to Private. They would then have to re-earn their ranks with a new system based off points. However, those Captain+ were spared the demotion. Also, the offical VS battalions were dismantled. Later that month, justgoaway1 gave VS to Chibitobi, and posted that he was leaving Roblox, and implied that it was a childish game. Chibitobi took over the group, and made no major changes to Vortex Security other than some minor changes to Vulcan and replacing some High Ranks. Chibitobi met much criticism regarding his ability to lead the clan. Due to exams and other things in his life, Chibitobi gave the group to the third and current leader of Vortex Security, AricLatios. AricLatios is currently reforming the group into more of a military/war group then it was before. His Second in Command is Imnotaguestimagirl.

Justgoaway1
The founder of Vortex Security, he led Vortex Security from December 2010-January 2012. His Second in Command was Chibitobi. He created the group for the purpose of everyone having fun. He is considered by many to be the most famous leader, and the clan grew the most under his reign, gaining 80,000 members. He created all of the versions of Fort Vulcan except for 3.1. He also built Fort Valor, and the Recruitment Center. He created all of the Official Battlions (VS Airbourne, VS Secret Police, VS High Ranks, and VS Stormtroopers). Several wars were fought during his reign. John's Cobras, UCR , Sleet Clan , and Reign of Chaos were all defeated when Justgoaway1 was in charge. He was a well respected leader and a role model to his troops. In January 2012, he reformed the group where promotions were based off of a point system, and discontinued all of the Battalions. He then quit the group and gave the group to Chibitobi.

Chibitobi
Chibitobi was the second leader of Vortex Security. He ruled from January 2012-May 2012. No wars were fought or changes made during his reign. The only thing he did was carry out the reform that Justgoaway1 had started. In May, due to exams and criticism he often recieved, he handed ownership over to the current leader of Vortex Security, AricLatios. He was then banned, along with Justgoaway1, for scamming players. He now uses the account Mr Qweeba.

AricLatios
The current leader of Vortex Security, he has ruled since May. He has reformed the group, making it more of a modern military-style clan. He also changed the logo, and made new divisions as well as bringing back some old ones. New uniforms have been made for the group as well. He has also brought back some of the old bases, such as Fort Vulcan 1.5 and 2.5, Fort Valor, and the Headquarters. In addition, he has tried to improve Vortex Security's reputation by changing trainings to help make members better fighters. Unlike JGA1 and Chibitobi, AricLatios is a stricter leader, but this is benefited the clan by making it more organized.

Promotion System
Members of the group are promoted based off a system of points.There are two types of points that can be earned, which are:

Action Points: AP is earned when low ranks are recognized by a Vortex Security High Rank. In order to obtain it, you must participate in a training exercise, defend a VS fort, assist in a raid against an enemy clan, or anything else that a VS HR deems worthy of a reward. However, members cannot ask for AP. Asking for AP will in turn make a member lose AP.

Command Points: CP is earned when members are recognized for an outstanding achievement in VS, such as taking over an entire enemy base or defending a fort singlehandedly from an onslaught of raiders. It will also be given for outstanding leadership ability, and teamwork. It will NEVER be given during a training exercise, only in real combat scenarios. Like AP, users cannot ask for it, or risk losing it.

Recruit
New members of the clan. Many are spies from other clans, but they will not get very far as the wall is not used to show critical information. Vortex Security aknowledges that most recruits are a bit nooby, but most of Vortex's force are higher ranks. As a result, most Recruits who go to trainings are looked down on, and are not taken seriously. To achieve this rank, you must join the group.

Fort Vulcan
Main Article: Fort Vulcan

Fort Vulcan is arguably one of the most well known forts on ROBLOX. This fort is Vortex Security's main and trademark fort throughout its history. This fort has been re-released several times as different versions (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.1). One of the trademarks of this fort is the tri-sector design. Allies and VS members spawn in Sector 1. Sector 2 is accessible only by certain divisions, and often is the biggest. It usually contains vehicles and numerous buildings. Sector 3 is at the back, and raiders must reach this point and hold it for a certain amount of time in order to win a raid. Fort Vulcan is hard to infiltrate, with raiders needing to break a code that opens the door to a certain sector to get to Sector 3. Most versions were built by VS founder Justgoaway1, but other members contributed to these forts as well. All players earn credits in the game in order to buy better weapons, both these weapons and credits are saved after leaving each game. Although versions 1.0 and 1.5 were the most liked by members of Vortex Security, 2.0 was the most visited, achieving over 1.4 million visits. The current versions of this fort used by Vortex Security are versions 1.5, 2.5, and 3.1.

Fort Valor
Fort Valor is one of Vortex Security's newer forts, built after the release of Fort Vulcan 2.0. It is situated above a lake, with a raider base located on the opposite side of the lake, downhill. The Vortex Security fort is situated above a waterfall. The raiders' base is situated within a section of cliffs. This is Vortex Security's most even fort, with Vortex Security members having to walk or swim to get to the raiders' base. This is version 1.0, which is now outdated.

During Chibitobi's era, the fort was remade with Vortex Security's new modern technology. After these updates, it was released and called Fort Valor 2.0. It was given the trademark tri-sector design similar to that of Fort Vulcan. Vortex Security and allies spawned in Sector 1. Sector 2 is accessible by anyone in Vortex Security: Marine Corps. Sector 3 is for Vortex Security: High Ranks. In order to win a raid, raiders must capture Sector 3. Raiders spawned at the bottom of a hill, and they had to walk up towards the gates. Fort Valor 2.0 is currently in use within Vortex Security today.

Headquarters
This is the least secure fort of Vortex Security. It contains an airfield (accessible by members of Vortex Security: Airbourne), a jailhouse, a Barracks, and a Recruiting building. The whole of the main fort is a octagonal island, attaching to the Airfield.

The airfield contains two non-respawning helicopters, and hangar in which planes were planned on being implemented, and a Control Tower which only justgoaway1 can enter. The helicopters have met much criticism because when they are damaged or flown into the water, they will not respawn, resulting in one-time-use helicopters. This version of the fort is currently outdated.

During the beginning of the AricLatios era, the HRs of Vortex Security decided to re-release the VS Headquarters, naming it Headquarters II. They did this due to its increasing popularity. The only updates were to the group logos and technology, and changing the airfield door so now members of the Rangers division can access the airfield, and no longer Airbourne. This fort is currently in use within Vortex Security today.

Recruiting Center and Harbor [Outdated]
This is Vortex Security's oldest and worst-built fort. However, it was a very popular game, hitting the front page several times, and gaining over 1 million place visits. It includes the Vortex Security Fort (shown at right), a Neutral village, and a Raiders base. Vehicles are included in this fort, which are buyable with in-game credits, and are then shipped in by a large ship. All 3 bases are situated one the shore of a large lake. The game is still fairly popular with Vortex Security veterans, and still played, even though it is outdated. The base is un-copylocked.
