Tarkov: Difference between revisions

An acquaintance, [[K. Stark|Staff Sergeant K. Stark]], who had been a member of the 19th Battalion, was killed in action. Tarkov attended Stark's funeral and afterward volunteered to be an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]. He then went through a series of brutal training exercises, including live ammunition and combat crawls through mud to prepare him for combat against the [[Covenant Empire]].

During one of his first battles, he [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle#Re-entry|dropped]] onto an unknown planet amongst other members of his [[battalion]] to engage Covenant forces. Several [[lances]] of [[Jiralhanae]] soldiers were present at the ODSTs' landing zone, with multiple [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] providing close air support.  

One [[Brute Major|Jiralhanae Major]] struck Tarkov while he was moving up the line, knocking of his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face and throwing him into a puddle. As the Brute was approaching the helpless Marine, who was firing his pistol at the Brute to no avail, a severely damaged Banshee crashed into his back, killing the Jiralhanae and saving Tarkov's life. Years later, Tarkov, now a battle-hardened veteran and whose gashes have turned into scars, and four other [[ODST]]'s held a field burial for a dead comrade. As plasma detonated in the distance, the ODSTs put on their helmets and moved out.
