**Vulture**, also going by their leet speak name **Vu17u23**, is a UK-based mass media movement that's been labeled by many as a terrorist organization, though many simply view the organization as Anarchists.

## History and Overview

Considered the European counterpart of the Watch Dogs, VU17Ur3 is the second largest hacker group in the world, second only to Crescent Genesis. It seeks to wage war against injustices worldwide by using cyberwarfare to combat corruption and expose dirty secrets of various organizations in a "war for truth."

According to audio logs and journal entries, Vulture members are never referred to by their real names online, and instead go by codenames.

VU17Ur3 seeks to accumulate followers and grow their ranks through acts of cyber-warfare that expose corrupt deeds to the public and bring the truth behind various global events to the people.

VU17Ur3 members are known to be pro-life extremists who believe that abortion is almost never justified, even in situations where the women may die during childbirth (they make an exception for cases where the baby will die during childbirth). Their central stance is that when it comes to saving the mother or the baby, the mother's life is always forfeit and that sacrificing one's life for their child is the "most feminine thing a woman can do."

## Ideology

Vulture appears to be an anarchist organization dedicated to taking down the various governments of the world. They seem to have some sort of obsessive desire to see the collapse of various superpowers and theocratic regimes across the globe, believing that superpowers and theocracies alike have the potential to become tyrannical dictatorships. They have recently compared the formation of theocratic regimes like the New Republic of Christian America, various Muslim nations, and superpowers like China, Russia and the European Union to regimes like the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, etc.

In recent years their biggest targets have been the New Republic of Christian America, Iran, European Union, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Vatican City, Yemen, Sudan and Saudi Arabia.
