Vortex Special Ops



Vortex Special Ops, also known as "VSO", is a war group with about 53,000 members, Founded in around 2009-2010 by Shain1 (Now VSOGeneralShain1). VSO is one of the most well-known clans in ROBLOX.

Vortex Special Ops gained almost all of its members using the VIP recruitment method, which is where people gain VIP for a game by joining the clan. The game VSO used is DANGERTIM122 's Build to Survive the Zombies. Today, the general stopped the VIP Recruitment and gained his members by normal means.

History

 *  Disclaimer: Thanks to Guyalf1 for most of this information!

2009-2011
Vortex Special Ops was founded in around in 2009-2010 by Shain1 (now known as VSOGeneralShain1). VSO started as a special ops squad for Vortex Security. When around 300 Vortex Security members joined the squad, the General was exiled for unknown reasons. He left the squad black until 2011, when he used DANGERTIM122’s Build To Survive The Zombies to recruit members. They hit 20k members in the first year. When the group was first founded, many free models were used, including a RIC base. This caused a lot of controversy. Current bases and models are made by the VSO:Tech division, a division of scripters and builders.

2012


 * In 2012, VSO started its first war against The VOX Empire, a 30k clan led by Voxhall, The creator of the classic famous game "Star Wars Tycoon". VSO won the war by a score of six to four (6-4). After defeat, The VOX Empire shut down due to rage on losing the war. In the same year, the General was banned from Roblox for unknown reasons (theorized to be a hacker) and returned as “VSOGeneralShain1.”

2013

 * In 2013, VSO hit 40k members, and hit the “Top 10 Clans” leaderboard. Two divisions were created, VSO:T and VSO:NF. In the same year, VSO:RB was created as a squad (not a division) by gaster1234567890

2014

 * In 2014, VSO hit 50k members and released the fort known as Warzone Nathia Gali. The fort received a lot good comments.

2015

 * In 2015, Justzwaggerit was promoted to Lieutenant General. He was later exiled due to mass exiling Lieutenants.
 * In the same year, VSO was attacked by a large amount of hackers by a hit from V3rmillion (a hacking forum). It got to the point that soldiers couldn’t patrol headquarters because every server was hacked. The hit was given by king_booty, a infamous scammer and clickbait place creator and another player who is unknown today.

2016

 * In 2016, VSO released Warzone Kahagan V2 (aka Warzone K2). This fort had a massive collaboration, including Coolsniper150 and a lot of new scripters who joined VSO to help. Coolsniper150 became the next Lieutenant General, and promoted to 3iC.
 * In the same year, VSO was attacked by another group of hackers known as Team CORE. They hacked VSO because they wanted to put their statue on VSO's base. They have delarced a unofficial war on VSO and called it official due to them lying about it being "accepted". They hacked any VSO server and called it a official win for their clan. After some raids, their leader got banned from Roblox for unknown reasons, So CORE stopped the exploit raiding, but never talked about the unfair "war".
 * Almost all the year, after CORE attacked VSO, RIC, better known as the Roblox Infantry Corps have been raiding all the year.

2017

 * In 2017, the 3iC Coolsniper150 received a message from Colonel De_Elite’s brother saying that she had passed away. This information hurt the members of VSO deeply and even came to famous clan leaders. It was later discovered that De_Elite had not passed away, but was actually in a coma. De_Elite had survived the coma but was left deaf, she has quit Roblox since. This event have stopped the hate aganist VSO and made many clans pray for VSOs safety.
 * In the same year, Bnv1186 was promoted to Lieutenant General. (Today 3rd in command)
 * Also in feburary 2017, VSO went through a massive reform. Six ranks were added to VSO, and a major rank reform was put into effect. The six ranks added were Lance Corporal, Staff Sergeant, First Lieutenants (Second Lieutenants are the former “Lieutenant” rank), Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Major General. Refecti became the first Major General, followed by Verret001 shortly after.
 * Around in July-September 2017, A clan known as The Tempus Imperium (TTI) have delarced war on VSO without PMing a LT-GEN+ about it. After the warning that one of the HRs of VSO Gave to TTI, They said they dont care and still delarced the official war and raided VSO with breaking rules. Later it became official, confirmed by Coolsniper150 and later VSO delarced them as winners because of their unfair base & their unfair-rulebreaking raids. They still raided VSO, after almost being blacklisted. This event is called "The Tempus Imperium Drama". Today their leader, Scelus is perm-muted on arctic outpost for causing the events above.
 * VSO also released a new base known as Arctic Warzone in alpha version on october 5th, and known to be a large success for their bases. It is still unknown when it will be full released.
 * Right before the new year, MrNoodler became the third Major General.

2018

 * In the beginning of the year, LT-GEN Coolsniper150 resigned as 3iC because of real life issues. This made LT-GEN Bnv1186 become the 3rd in command. Also, the general confirmed new reforms coming later this year on janurary 10th, and due to the new reforms he promoted all PVTs that are active to PFCs and changed all of the division's descs and also including the main one.

Wars
Vortex Special Ops has formerly been at war with the following groups: VSO Is not currently accepting wars due to reforms in progress.

Old Criticism of VSO
VSO has had a lot of criticism in ROBLOX, The first reason is that VSO had copied many models including RIC's HQ and Alpha Authority's Outpost. The second reason is there are unskilled people inside VSO, that couldn't defeat a horde of raiders, and third is that VSO is full of kids. In around 2014 the criticism was reduced.
