The First Encounter Assault Recon

First Encounter Assault Recon (commonly initialized FEAR or F.E.A.R.) is a war group on Roblox. It used to be the largest group on Roblox between 2010 and 2014, and currently the third oldest military themed group on Roblox. The First Encounter Assault Recon was created by SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX, having been inspired by F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon, a video game published in 2005. It was awarded the Most Active Group Award at ROBLOX BLOXcon 2013. FEAR was the second group to win this award, after Vortex Security won it at the ROBLOX Game Conference 2012. 
==History==
F.E.A.R. has been owned by SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX since the group's creation in 2010.
F.E.A.R. has its own development team, Armacham Technology Corporation (ATC), which designs every new place associated with the group. 
Some of the larger military groups, such as UCR, Frost Clan and Nightfall Clan have allied with F.E.A.R. to prevent a large-scale war, however inter-clan relations have been transformed to allow the inclusion side-by-side trainings and assistance at allied forts. Other war groups, especially small groups and powerclans, have attempted to "destroy" the group, but have lacked the power and the prominence to do so. However, several of FEAR's allies have gone to war with the group. The Roblox Assault Team, United Clan of ROBLOX and Frost Clan all fought the group in 2010, which eventually led to a standstill with no official war victor. FEAR ended its 3-month war with The Grand Imperium on December 29, 2012. It resulted in a forfeit from FEAR. Several subsequent wars have taken place, including a war with The Robloxian Army TRA in 2013 and a war with Lortex Security in 2015.
In June 2020, SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX, his brother , and lead scripter , among other individuals, released a new open world apocalypse game, called Dawn of Aurora.

All of these bases are located on SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX's profile, and have once served as the headquarters for the group.
===Recruitment Center===
The F.E.A.R. Recruitment Center was the first official base for the group, being constructed in early 2010, around the creation of the group. The Recruitment Center attributed for a lot of F.E.A.R.'s early members, and was one of the main reasons they achieved the title of the largest group on Roblox when it did. Despite it's popularity, the base has been heavily criticized since its creation. A majority of the base's vehicles were free modeled; this caused many users to accuse Sonic of being an unskilled builder. Also, the fact that the base was built in favor of F.E.A.R. members was another common complaint. This was shown with code doors that gave only a select number of players access to weapons. Throughout its history, the base has been re-mastered multiple times. The current version is the third major rendering of the base, having been built in late 2010 - early 2011. However, a common feature in all renderings of the base was a walled compound with a modern building located inside. The building contained a weapons room, meeting room, rally room, labs, and offices. The Recruitment Center is no longer in use within F.E.A.R., as Sonic now rents the base out to other groups for recruitment purposes.
===Underground and Underwater Bases===
The F.E.A.R. Underground and Underwater Bases were two different forts that were released in Summer 2010. Both games hit the front page on multiple occasions, and aided in F.E.A.R. becoming Roblox's largest group by the first half of 2010. The Underground Base was released first; it currently has over 800,000 visits. There are two versions of the base. The first was located in a desert. It contained an elevator leading to the underground terminal. The underground sector contained a lobby, which was connected to an office, laboratory, subway, and secret room. A hallway off of the lobby led to three different wings of the base. The rightmost wing contained an armory. The center wing contained another underground train station hub, a jail, and control rooms. The leftmost wing contained several dirt tunnels, as well as stairs leading to the second floor. Upstairs, there is a passageway that leads to the control rooms in the train station, as well as a cafeteria, barracks, a meeting room, a computer room, and an air conditioning unit. The Underwater Base has been retired, and the Underground Base has been turned into the Chaser Legion Recruitment Center. 
===Fort Alianor===
Fort Alianor II is the current headquarters for F.E.A.R. and all of its divisions. There are three versions of this fort, with version 2.0 being the current version in use, and 3.0 expected to be released soon. Alianor was originally F.E.A.R.'s first and only raid-able fort, until the release of Fort Cryo. The first two versions were built during 2011, but released during different times that year. Alianor 1.0 was released during early 2011, whereas 2.0 was released on December 23, 2011. Fort Alianor III is expected to be released sometime in 2015. This is not only one of the most technologically advanced forts in F.E.A.R., it is also the most well liked. This fort was also the first fort built by the F.E.A.R. division Armacham Technology Corporation. The first version of Alianor was located in a hilly environment, with the main building being flat. The second version is located in a mountainous terrain, with the main building being a modern tower, and containing armories for each of the official F.E.A.R. divisions. The third is located on an island with three large waterfalls, a small waterfall, and a large lagoon. It also has division tents, as well as a hanger and helicopter pad.
The third version of the fort is a revamped version of the fort on a larger scale. According to the storyline that was in the video description of the trailer, Alianor II was destroyed after an ambush by R.A.T., followed by a tsunami. Alianor III follows a similar design to that of Alianor II, with both being located in a tropical valley climate. However, there are several notable differences between Alianor 2.0 and Alianor 3.0. In Alianor 3.0, the base is located on a series of cliffs that surround a lagoon (where Alianor 2.0 is submerged). Two fields, which hold the base itself, are separated by a waterfall. Despite the differences between the two bases, there are several similarities between Alianor II and Alianor III. The third version of the fort contains weapon tents, as well as a building that is similar in style in that of its predecessor. Alianor III will include up to 60 different guns scripted by the Armacham Technology Corporation. Fort Alianor III is currently in the Pre-beta phase.
=== Fort Cryo===
Fort Cryo was released August 17, 2012. Fort Cryo is named after the multiple cryogenic tubes located throughout the base. Located within the frozen tundra of Alsuis, this base is more fair than Alianor to raiders in several ways. Raiders and F.E.A.R. spawn with the same weapons, and have access to the same weapons. Unlike Fort Alianor, the high divisions of F.E.A.R. do not spawn with better weapons. The base is a fairly easy raid, with raiders having to complete a simple obby hidden in the mountains in order to get into the base. Raiders spawn in a cave at the back of the map. A wall divides the raider base from the combat point. In between the F.E.A.R fort and raider base, there is a combat area. This area contains the entrance to the frozen obby, as well as some shields to hide and shoot behind. Two bunkers are located in this area, as well as the spawns for F.E.A.R. and their allies. Behind the walls is the actual F.E.A.R. base itself. The base is carved into the mountain, and divided into three floors. The first floor contains a picture room, with an open atrium lobby and an armory. The second floor contains the capture point and some cryogenic tubes. The third floor contains some offices, a cafeteria, a clinic, and a meeting room. There are two buildings located outside the main base, one of which contains some cryogenic tubes, and the other contains a radar room. There are also several cryo tubes throughout the base. Fort Cryo also contains some new technology, such as a snow GUI, and a unique capture point that freezes FEAR once Raiders win a raid. It is currently considered the new headquarters of F.E.A.R. Fort Cryo currently has over 600,000 place visits, and over 19,000 favorites.
