**Division 93** was the name given to a all-female Soviet military unit created during the Cold War at around the same time as Operation Iron Wolf. It was intended to be a Russian special operations unit that was part of the Russian Spetsnaz.
With the fall of the Soviet Union, the name of the unit was changed to **Unit 93**.
Division 93 became notorious for recruiting "child soldiers", manipulated young girls into becoming killing machines, sometimes even against their will. After the Soviet Union fell and Division 93 was exposed to the world, it drew international condemnation, with many calling their conditioning methods a "crime against humanity". Unit 93 was dissolved entirely in the year 1992.

## History

### Division 93

The Soviet military unit was created under the name Division 93 in 1937 as an augmentation to the Soviet Red Army. The Soviets were looking for a new breed of soldier, a breed of soldier that would be able to withstand in the most harshest of conditions, after hearing that millions of female soldiers died during the winter months of the Russian Civil War. Soldiers for this unit were given a new serum known as the "Leviathan Potion", which gave users enhanced strength and limited invulnerability.

Division 93 was a devastating unit, having exceeded the expectations of the people who created it. Soviet general Artyom Leonov called Unit 93 his "masterpiece", with the female soldiers within the unit becoming nearly unstoppable, shrugging off the elements quite easily in order to complete missions alongside regular Soviet Army personnel. The unit first saw action during the Winter War, AKA the Soviet invasion of Finland, where they left the Finnish amazed at their military prowess. When the Nazis saw the female soldiers in action during the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1941, they were horrified, as they had not seen Soviet soldiers shrugging off the cold so easily like their male counterparts, as well as their fellow Nazi German soldiers. An estimated 90,000 Nazi Germans were killed at the hands of Division 93 soldiers throughout the Soviet counteroffensive against the German invasion.

Unfortunately the serum wasn't without side-effects; soldiers with the serum in their bodies experienced hyper-aggressive tendencies and sometimes even killed their own comrades in fits of rage. To solve the problems, Leonov had therapists holding sessions with soldiers after they had been injected with the serum.

### Unit 93

After the Soviet Union fell and the Russian Federation was born in 1991, Division 93 changed its name to Unit 93. Procedures for recruitment and enhancement were the same as before, except the minimum age limit was changed to 18 as opposed to 12. That being said, the truth behind Unit 93 was now public knowledge and was revealed to the world as a "crime against humanity". Much like Operation Iron Wolf, once Unit 93 was exposed to the world, the heads of the project tried to have everybody killed, but some of the handlers within the unit mutinied instead, killing their superiors and putting their agents in suspended animation and cryo-freezing them instead.

Following this, the Russian government buried the project and to this very day it denies the existence of any agent that was in the program.
