Congratulations, Grem Repier!

Stalkers: who are they as from historical as from our points of view?

"Is there anyone else after these treasures?"

"Yes."

"You probably mean stalkers!"

"I don't know what they are."

"That's what we in Harmont call the thieves

who risk their lives in the Zone to grab

everything they can lay their hands on.

It's become a whole new profession."

"Roadside Picnic", Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

Stalker characters were regularly used into S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, a first-person shooter computer game from the Ukrainian developer GSC Game World (game has been published in 2007).

In that game Stalkers are trespassing in a restricted ecological disaster zone and will be shot on sight by the Military due to armed encounters in the past. Unofficially, they are the most reliable workhorses for any individual who wants something retrieved in the Zone of Alienation as they are the most experienced people who can be enlisted. Indeed, without Stalkers, curiosities like Artifacts would be a rarity outside the Zone and the experiments of the Ecologists would be stalled for a considerate amount of time as the military is hardly able to assist them, due to their slipping control and lack of sufficient manpower. So, the general term "Stalker" is used mainly for any illegally-residing human in the Zone. Supposedly, it stands for "Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, Robbers". And, list of Stalker factions are:

Military stalker in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game

• Loners,
• Duty,
• Freedom,
• Bandits,
• Clear Sky,
• Monolith,
• Mercenaries,
• Renegades,
• Military Stalkers,
• Random naming.

From another hand, the background and some terminology of this game was originally borrowed from the popular science fiction novel Roadside Picnic (read Roadside Picnic parallel both in Russian and English) by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, Soviet Russian science fiction authors. Stalker in that fiction novel was risked to illegally recover alien artifacts (called swag) from within the Zone for large profit.

So, how about us, war stalkers of Syrtis, clan members of Syrtis War Stalkers clan? What is our strategic mission? Our main goal is to become the trained mobile solid team that can solve problems both independently (hunting for selected enemies' groups or individuals, to do stalking and venturing into both Alsius and Ignis realms, invading and capturing separate forts and castles, etc) and in close collaboration with other clans, solving the main problem: competent intrusion into the enemies realms and successfully with unscathed bring out their gems to Syrtis Gem Portal.
