Vortex Special Ops

Vortex Special Ops is a war group with about 54,000 members. Founded in 2010 by Shain1, 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
VSO Had started as a Vortex Security squad, made by general's old account, Shian1. When around 300 VS joined, the general got exiled from VS for unknown reasons and kept the squad blank. In 2011, the general used Build to Survive The Zombies to recruit members. They hit 20k members in their first year. Shain1 used free models in the creation of the facilities (he used RIC's HQ as VSO's HQ), which caused a lot of criticism on C&G 'World on ROBLOX.' But later it stopped.

2012
In 2012, They started their first war on The VOX Empire, a old 30k clan leaded by Voxhall, the leader, which known as his famous tycoon, Star Wars tycoon, and PeerPants, the second in command that turned soon into a hacker and got his account IP - banned. VSO had won The VOX empire on a score of 6-4 (6 wins to VSO and 4 wins to VOX Empire.) PeerPants and Voxhall shut the clan down ultimately due to rage on losing on the war. In july 2012, on the mobile bloxxers war and raid on VSO, generals tell them to go away for a while, and then they wait and then general leaves the game. Jordandog100, a VSO CPT, Sees he was banned and takes over the clan for a while to continue the duties. There are theories that generals had been banned by a hacker, banning him, there are also theories that he seen disobeying rules of ROBLOX and insulting a raider by calling them obscenities. but mostly is the theory of the hacker. General made a new account known as VSOGeneralShain1 and waited until he gets BC again and he will get VSO Again, currently in that time, jordandog100 promoted general to LT-Gen until he gets BC. The ban caused a lot of VSO members being feared being leaderless. In august 2012, due to guyalf1's exile, one of the best VSO members and HR, VSO members started a riot. a ex-colonel which admin abused and got exiled cause of that told lies about guyalf1 (guyalf1 reported the ex-COL) to general, what made guyalf1 exiled. Alot of VSO Members started a riot to return guyalf1 into VSO, cause of him doing nothing. bescause of this happening, general started a massive exile session and he exiled around 150 members who did the riot.

2013
In October 2013, general hits 40k soldiers in VSO. Then he announces on C&G Forum in ROBLOX that he will stop being "so copyish" and will stop using other clan's models. Two new divisions were created Technicians and VSO Naval Forces. In April, he finally allowed guyalf1 return to, because he didn't believed the EX-COL. He needed EX-VSO's help to make VSO alive again, so soon he becomes a captain again. In the month of August, VSO hits the "top 10 clans" leaderboard, which made them show in the first page of clans. In September, Gaster1234567890, The creator of Rancor Battlion joins VSO and starts RB as a squad. In December, Shain makes a new military clan named "Pakistan Millitary".

2014
In April 2014, Shain makes an April Fools joke by making a fake new fort which is under construction and makes it on public. The description said -

"A small pretty island in the middle of no where. Lots of vegetas and gangnam styles of all types roam free. A perfect tourist attraction for those who want to get MLG scoped, blown to bits by a bomb/grenade, get caught in the cross fire of enemy forces, and those who are so tired of their kids they want to feed them to the wild pink sheeps. This is sparta!!!!!" When the players entered the game, they got an April Fools message, and there was a hidden GUI giver that gave the name of the upcoming fort - WARZONE NATHIA GALI! It also had the thumbnail of the famous "Y U WAT" meme.

In July, VSO finally releases Warzone Nathia Gali, which had a lot of good comments about the fort and in october VSO hits 50k members. 2015

On February 2015, Shain promotes Justwaggerit as LT-Gen (and 3rd in command). He later was exiled because of the MASS kicking session. The general finally promotes guyalf1 to CPT back, which made a lot of VSO happy.

Around October 2015, The fort was in lockdown due from an exploiter hit on VSO. Exploiters attacked VSO from an hit request on V3rmillion, a exploiter group forum on VSO. The soldiers couldn't patrol the headquarters & every server was exploited.

It's main leaders were king_booty (perviously known as FluttershyRyoku), An infamous Bait & Switch user & clickbait place creator, and MtnDewInc.

2016

Around February 2016, VSO releases the most advanced base that was ever made for VSO named Warzone Kahagan V2 or Warzone K2. This fort had a huge collaboration, including coolsniper150, one of the best F3x builders currently on ROBLOX and a lot of new scripters who joined VSO to help. Around September, Shain finally returns after long inactivity of having a lot of exams and more reasons. Also, he releases a new fort called THAR Warzone. In October, the General promoted coolsniper150 to Lieutenant-General, making him 3rd in command of VSO. Also, a group of hackers named Team CORE started to attack VSO, and they told that they will not stop until general puts their leader's statue in the fort. Team CORE started to threaten to hack the General. VSOGeneralShain1 private messaged ROBLOX Admins and no response has been sent. As of November, CORE has stopped attacking and a new HQ was released. Now, RIC, better known as the Roblox Infantry Corps, have been raiding VSO almost daily. 2017 At the end of Janurary 2017, The 3rd in command, Coolsniper got a message from Colonel De_Elite. Except, That was De_Elite's brother. He messaged coolsniper that De_Elite died in real life due to illness. Many groups prayed for VSO for their big loss and they stopped the critcism fully. But there are still people who complain that VSO is full of kids, Mostly exiled members. Some time after the death, Some EXs create alt accounts like "VSODeservedDeath", "DeEliteDeserved" and more. The accounts had been banned from roblox, including the creator. Also, Team CORE had stopped hacking VSO's base, since their leader got Perm-Banned from ROBLOX. In the end, It seems like that de_elite had didnt died at all, she was in a deep sleep and now she is blind.

In Feburary 2017, 2 weeks after De_Elite's death, General creates a new promotion system. Privates, must pass a test & must patrol HQ for 1 Hour to get promoted, PFCs must attend training and get "promotion-credits" to be promoted. They can attend bootcamp too, But they need to patrol HQ after the training.

As said in the end of the page "Janurary 2017", It seems that in april 2017 De_Elite wasn't dead at all, She was in a deep sleep & cause of the deep sleep, She got blind. Due to this, she quit roblox & never seen again due to her blindness.

In May 2017, The general makes a massive reform - He adds five new ranks and creates some new rules.

Outpost Bakkarah
Outpost Bakkarah is the replacement of the previous outpost, Outpost Arctic. It is not used as a raiding base currently. Instead, it is used for VSO: Rancor Battalion training center.

HQ 5.0
The new headquarters and the current base of VSO. Just like the old headquarters, a woodland base and in the middle a city. The raiders base is in a serperate island & to raid you must use the boats.

Many people criticized this HQ For being a "ripoff" of RIC's headquarters & having strict rules.

Old Crictism on VSO
VSO had got 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 the unskilled people inside VSO, that couldnt defeat a horde of raiders, and third is that VSO is full of kids, since it doesn't matter. In around 2014 the crictism had stopped halfly.

Trivia

 * One of the oldest forts named Headquarters Base Kenway is named after Connor Kenway from the Assassin's Creed series of video games published by Ubisoft. It confirms that the general likes the game "Assassins Creed".


 * Warzone K2 is also the joint base of VSO and PM.


 * One of the most hugest wars is against The VOX Empire, a old clan that were around 2011-2012 with 30k members. VSO had won them, and then because of the win, The leaders, PeerPants and Voxhall shut down the clan due to rage.


 * VSOCaptainGaster, were known as gaster123456789, is an EX-CPT of VSO. He was the founder of Rancor Battalion, that was given later to VSOGeneralShain1.

 * There are theories that the hacker who hacked Shain1 was the hacker who hacked 1dev2.
