S.T.A.R.S. was first organized in New York, the name being Special Tactics and Rescue Squad. During about 1995, it was taken to Racoon City, a mini-city on the edge of Nevada. The group was formed under supervision of the mayor, just as Umbrella was taking power. The group was spearheaded by Albert Wesker, a spy who was actually working for a corporation called Umbrella, whitch on the outside is a pharmesutical company. They have developed a virus that kills and reanimates a human corpse, for biological warfare. They were planning on holding ransom on the United States Government after they develop more strains of the virus. The head developers, William Birkin and Albert Wesker, develop the virus. Albert Wesker becomes caught up in working with the R.P.D and S.T.A.R.S, and tells William to develop the viruses. Meanwhile, the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team is sent to investigate an convicts escape. They get caught up chasing the convict, and only Rebbeca Chambers is left alive and healthy. She befriends the convict, helping him escape. Billy Coen, the convict, has an unknown location as of now, presumed dead by the R.P.D. Rebbeca makes her way to a nearby mansion, where the Alpha team goes to search for Bravo the next day. The team dwindles away, until Barry, Jill, Chris and Wesker are left. Wesker leaves them for dead, and injects himself with the T-Virus, being one of the extremly rare people to be able to use the virus to become super-human. Jill and Chris find Rebbeca, and they soon learn that the mansion they are in is the Spencer Mansion. It is one of the many Umbrella Headquarters, and all the previous workers had died due to the T-Virus. They have all become "Zombies," now the reanimated dead. They fight for their life, learning that Wesker was working for Umbrella. Wesker is killed.
Jill, Barry, Rebbeca and Chris escape via helicopter after destroying the mansion. Chris leaves S.T.A.R.S, Rebbeca quits, Jill works with the R.P.D after S.T.A.R.S disbanded and Barry went his own way. William Birkin has been ordered to be killed, and he injects himself with the Virus afterwords. The U.B.C.S, or Umbrella Biological Combat Squad kills him and takes the virus for Wesker, so the process of terrorism can begin. Birkin mutates and kills them all, the virus dropping on the concrete, infecting rats. They spread the virus through Racoon City. William Birkin is unable to leave the sewers. The virus soon outbreaks, with Wesker leaving for the secret Antartica base. Leon Scott Kennedy soon arrives, seeing the city in chaos. At this time, the virus dissapears in the chaos. He finds Clair Redfield, Chris's sister. She is looking for Chris in Racoon City. Wesker soon realises that Sherry, Williams daughter, is stuck in the city carrying a sample of the G-Virus in her locket. He sends the NEMISIS to go capture it, but Jill Valentine gets in the way, and kills it. Leon and Clair find a woman named Ada Wong. She is a spy sent by Wesker to gather the virus sample from Sherry and another sample that is in the City, one of the last ones. Ada Wong falls over the rail of a dark pit, with the sample. She is killed. William Birkins mutation finds Sherry first underneath the R.P.D. and breaks the virus sample. Leon kills him, and they escape. Jill is saved by Barry, and leaves, just as the city is the target of a nuclear missle strike.
William Birkin is dead. Albert Wesker is presumed dead. Ada Wong is presumed dead.
Umbrella dissapears.
Clair continues her search for Chris into Europe. She is captured. She arrives at Rockfort Island. She proceeds to destroy the island, then going to a secret Antartica base, unknowing that Chris is following her. She sees that Wesker is alive, but kills him. She and Chris meet up and leave, finally together.
During RE4, Umbrella is mentioned by Krauser. Ada Wong is alive and now has a sample of all the original viral strains. Wesker is also alive, and it is now positive he can almost never die. He is reinstating Umbrella again.
BAM! That was just really me having nothing to do. D:
