Transcript
00:00The Norvinsk region has forever changed the moment it was turned into an open economic
00:17zone.
00:20Both Norvinsk and Tarkov became centers of international partnership.
00:24One of the most influential corporations on the global stage, Terra Group, has established
00:31its regional headquarters in Tarkov.
00:35Terra Group scientists promised to bring our world towards the future.
00:41Even back then it was obvious the old world was on its way out.
00:46In Tarkov the corporation was actively acquiring land and absorb local businesses for the sake
00:51of its revolutionary projects.
00:54Virtus in scientia, that's what they used to say.
01:01Terra Group's influence in the city grew rapidly.
01:04It wasn't long before they started showing interest in restricted government facilities,
01:08a move that couldn't go unnoticed by domestic security agencies.
01:13In order to protect their enterprises, Terra Group hired a foreign PMC, United Security.
01:20USEC personnel began blocking access to Terra Group's facilities, and even the government
01:25authorities no longer had a full picture of what the corporation was doing within Tarkov's
01:29borders.
01:31Eventually, a team of investigators was sent to the local headquarters to search the building
01:37and compile a report.
01:39But the USEC operatives refused to let the law officials through and opened fire.
01:47After that incident, a new force appeared in the Norvinsk region, PMC Bear.
01:54Their main mission was to expose and gather evidence of Terra Group's illegal activities
01:58around the world.
02:00At first, Bear's operations in their classes with USEC forces were limited and isolated,
02:07but the tension escalated quickly.
02:10It was too risky to fully involve military forces to maintain order due to the region's
02:16special status.
02:18The UN forces and Russian military blocked all routes in and out of the city, and the
02:23UNTAR mission began evacuating civilians.
02:26But despite the authorities' statements, the situation in Tarkov was no longer under anyone's
02:32control.
02:33The conflict between Bear and USEC evolved into an all-out armed conflict.
02:40Marauders and bandits, soon nicknamed scabs, only made things worse.
02:48For several years, both PMCs fought each other, each carrying out orders from their respective
02:55command.
02:56Before all this, Tarkov was featured in the world's top financial news.
03:03And now it shows up in the combat logs of the Contract Wars.
03:08But it didn't end there.
03:11Terror Group's local headquarters became Bear's primary objective, withstanding multiple assault
03:17attempts.
03:18During one of those raids, something happened.
03:21An event that split Tarkov's history into the before and after.
