it was the Mid 1990's on Earth in New York city, when bunch of kids formed a gang called the Iron Phoenix, Rag tag they where, often got into street fights, scuffles with the law, and even some deaths amongst the hands of other gangs... the New Millenium has rolled around and the gang flourished expanding its members into the hundreds, often they hung around Downtown New York city, and even taken refuge apon Goveners Island at the Hudson River, due to the fact it was a closed down Naval and Coast Guard Base. Things was good, and when Rival gangs tried to challenge the Phoenix for their turf, they never made it past the bay.

The bane struck one day, wiping out much of the city, some members grew up and had normal lives by then, reducing their numbers some, but they held for days, mustering what they can to hold the small island base for their own... the current clan leader whom was the girlfriend of the original leader, became the new, after a Stalker stepped and killed him during the exodus of what is left... it became a harsh and grueling building to building Urban warfare, until AFS Rescue ships landed on the ruins of their base, the Gang got into a scuffle with them for supplies, armaments, and even food... but the AFS Saw potential in the gang, for all the smaller gangs was destroyed or whatnot...

The Iron Phoenix joined with the AFS with the conditions they keep their history, their ways, their logo apon the back of their jacket and armor, even their colors.

We're a street gang? Wait what? I thought we were elite soldiers, not street rats and ghetto trash.

Ah you see, this is just the original clan's history, the people who join now (as in you guys) are all elite soldiers depending on their own background, but just joining up with our group, we function like a military unit since we are under AFS and besides that your leader is a elite soldier aswell. Don't get confused, we are not just a streetgang anymore.
