The First Encounter Assault Recon

The First Encounter Assault Recon (initialized FEAR or F.E.A.R.) is the group currently in control of Venezia. It is the third largest group on ROBLOX, and currently the largest military-themed group on Roblox, thanks to massive recruitment phases. The group has a rich history involving appreciation, respect, and accusations. 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. The group has over two hundred thousand members, and many administrators, including Telamon/Shedletsky, having joined the group in the past. FEAR was the largest group on ROBLOX from 2010 to 2014, and they currently hold the title as the largest war-themed group on ROBLOX. It was awarded the Most Active Group Award at the 2013 ROBLOX BLOXcon. FEAR was the second group to win this award, after Vortex Security won it at the ROBLOX Game Conference 2012. They are currently at war with Proponent of Liberty and the Vaktovian Empire, as they are allied with The Egalitarian Front in this year's Ro-War.

Leadership
F.E.A.R. has been owned by SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX since the group's creation in 2010. Under his leadership, many F.E.A.R. bases have been created. In the past, they were widely criticized for being of "poor quality" and for being "filled with free models." However, F.E.A.R. now has its own development team, Armacham Technology Corporation, also known as 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.
