Stigma

Stigma is a militant revolutionary organization featured in the Into the Dark series. They actively combat the United States Military inflicting heavy casualties on them and seek to liberate the population of the United States of America. Their organization and capabilities earned them a reputation as one of the strongest factions in the Into the Dark series.

After the Civil-War Arc and the end of the U.S. Military /F.E.M.A. regime Stigma takes over as the strongest faction of the Into the Dark series which servers as a counter to the allied forces of the Hunters and the Cultists.

Throughout the Series
Stigma was founded sometime after the outbreak in response to the US military's martial law placed on the Quarantine Zones such as Los Angeles. The group called for the return of all branches of government to end the military's rule and staged several attacks within the Quarantine Zones. Support from the public increased when the United States Army executed at least six Stigma members.

Special Operations Team
The Special Operations Team is an elite paramilitary sub division of the militant organization Stigma lead and hand picked by Squad Leader Ethan Bamford.

The special operations unit was originally created after the failed insurgency of Chicago, Illinois and The Hunters Uprising. Unlike the lightly armed militias that are encountered beforehand by survivors the members of the Special Operations Team are shown to be heavily armored with ballistic vests, combat helmets and armed with assault weapons such as assault rifles, combat shotguns and grenades.

Throughout the Into the Dark series the Special Operations Team play a pivotal role in taking on the United States Military often acting as the expeditionary force or assisting insurgents by arming and training them.
