Free Europe is a British terrorist group that appears in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and the remake Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard. They are opposed to the integration of the United Kingdom in the European Union.
History[]
The name "Free Europe" first surfaced in 1996 during a police investigation of an instance of sabotage to the railroad tracks on the British side of the Channel Tunnel. A steel bar was welded to the tracks, resulting in the derailment of a high-speed passenger train, and causing the deaths of four passengers. No arrests were made. Since then, the name has also come up in conjunction with several other terrorist incidents, including the firebombing of a block of flats occupied by West African immigrants that killed a four-year-old girl.
On Febuary 7th 2000, the Belgian Embassy in London was attacked and taken over by Free Europe militants who had cornered the ambassador and captured and killed much of the embassy staff. In response, Rainbow was deployed to the area to rescue the ambassador and kill the terrorists. While the mission was successful, the group would continue to remain active.
On September 13th, 2000, Free Europe struck again by taking over a Belgian bank that was preparing to celebrate the adoption of the Euro as the national currency. Despite this, Rainbow deployed to the location and neutralized the terrorists, successfully rescuing all hostages in the process.
Ideology[]
Free Europe is a far right euro sceptic group, believed to be a spin-off of the British neo-Nazi group Combat 18. According to documents recovered by the police, their agenda calls for the deportation of all immigrants of non-European ancestry and a national policy of strict economic and cultural isolationism.
