While this ploy worked, the resulting chaos led to great casualties among soldiers, although it enabled Tachenko to create Duty.
He and his closest officers staged a communications breakdown, allowing them to desert the army and join stalkers in exploiting the Zone. However, they were nearly wiped out by an emission that followed. Anomalies and mutants caused many casualties, while those who managed to survive eventually made their way to the Rostok Factory, where they stayed, fighting off monsters and coping with hunger and deprivation.ĭuty was founded by then Captain Tachenko, the squad leader of a team of army specialists who were tasked to destroy the center of the zone using nuclear explosives.
The faction has long been in fierce conflict with Freedom due to their conflicting ideals.ĭuty is primarily made up of the survivors of military expeditions into The Zone, sent to take its territory under governmental control in the wake of the very first stalker incursions in 2009. They also openly engage Bandits due to their hostility and extortion of Free Stalkers. They tolerate Loners, but are hostile towards Freedom faction members, seeking to undermine their efforts at every step. They are contrasted by other factions, such as Freedom or the Ecologists, who see the Zone as a miracle. They opt for the complete destruction of the Zone through brute force, effectively attempting to "kill" the Zone. With superior equipment and fervently dedicated members, they fully intend to achieve their goal.ĭuty is at odds with everyone seeking to exploit the Zone and, as Duty sees it, spread its corruption. Duty also fights against other factions such as the Bandits and Mercenaries, who extort Stalkers for personal gain. They achieve this by killing all of the Zone's manifestations, namely Mutants, in the process bringing them into conflict with factions such as Freedom, who believe the Zone is something beneficial. Duty sees the Zone as an ulcer in the world that must be purged at all costs, as they believe that if left unchecked, mutants will soon break out of the Zone and attack the outside world.
Other members are ordinary stalkers who have seen enough of the Zone's horrors, and have decided to do something about it. The founding members of Duty, as well as many of its subsequent members, were originally Ukrainian Military troops and Special Forces units sent into the Zone and left to die there after being nearly killed by the Zone's mutants and anomalies.
