The Exiles: The 33rd Infantry's Breakaway Rebellion

In the isolated, sandstorm-wrecked city of Dubai, the 33rd Infantry Battalion tore itself apart. A failed evacuation boiled over into a civil war between two factions: the Damned and the Exiles. Investigators are still piecing together the causes and scope of the 33rd's war, but evidence of their carnage remains scattered around the city. Brothers in arms became mortal enemies as skirmishes, assassinations, and acts of sabotage broke out between both sides.

We can gather clarification on the Damned thanks to the testimony of Captain Martin Walker, but the Exiles remain a more obscure subject. Just what was this breakaway faction of Colonel John Konrad's famed battalion? What were their goals? Where did they clash with the Damned? And why were they ultimately defeated by their loyalist opponents? Let's piece together what information we can scavenge from Dubai's ruins and figure out what happened before the arrival of Delta Force.

This is not for the faint of heart.
