Tarkov: Difference between revisions

'''Tarkov''' was a Hungarian [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], assigned to the [[19th Shock Troops Battalion]] of the [[105th ODST Division]] and participated in the [[Human-Covenant War]] <ref>''[[We Are ODST]]''</ref> .

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 landing zone, with multiple [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] providing close air support.

One [[Brute Minor|Jiralhanae Minor]] struck Tarkov while he was moving up the line, knocking off 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, seems to be commanding four other ODSTs, hold a field burial for a dead comrade. As plasma detonated in the distance, the ODSTs put on their helmets and moved out.
