Shortly after the relocation of the cell known as Due North’s main commander, Cecilia Karras to the Odessa settlements, the cell’s former influence began to slowly fall out of favor due to the absence of its leader. Day by day, more and more insurgents began to leave to pursue other endeavors in mind. After relocating to the Swiss Alps, Due North became virtually non-existent. With many issues and a corrupted supply-chain instantly piling up on one another, Due North’s fate was sealed. It was then that a meeting between the collective leadership of said cell amidst the semi-chaotic atmosphere of the Alps, turned out to be their last official one.
On that day, the cell known as ‘Due North’ officially ceased to exist.
Although the group that had sworn to dedicate all its time and energy to helping the disabled was no more, its fighters still worked independently nonetheless to wage war against the Combine and complete their main humanitarian goal of settlement nonetheless. Despite the cell itself disappearing, its members still had resilience; they have refused to simply ‘dissolve’, as their ethics code simply refused for a complete shatter to occur. Later on, one of the core members suggested a solution; a solution that the entire former leadership has agreed upon.
It was decided in an informal meetup that a reformation of the cell would be in order, albeit under different leadership. With a few strings pulled, and a few pillars put in place, one of the former Due North’s lieutenants manages to form a new doctrine, as well as a supply chain. With all the potential recruits, and the former leadership gathered, an awaited and necessary faction that enforced cooperation, unity, security and leadership in the face of the extraterrestrial enemy was hopefully re-established.
Ruled by a council of representatives that is composed of disgruntled soldiers and vortigaunts alike, ΛTLAS strongly holds onto the original, overarching humanitarian role of its predecessor, the main mission of the cell being the construction of self-sustaining, impenetrable settlements, with the idea of forming an effective arrowhead aimed towards ending the conflict against The Combine in the resistance’s favor taking an equally important stance in the long-term vision.

#1: We are EXPENDABLE
The survival of mankind and the resistance as a whole should come before our own lives. We are always expected to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. While human-wave tactics are out of the question, we should put our lives on the line in order to accomplish feats no one else will to ensure the success of the resistance’s operations against the Combine.
#2: We are NOT DISPOSABLE
ΛTLAS greatly values the lives of those who fight under its banner, and will always try its best to preserve them unless extremely dire circumstances are imminent.
#3: We are MORTAL
We are not supersoldiers. Think carefully about any move you make against your enemy. Although mistakes are expected, you should learn to capitalize on them in order to avoid repeating them in the future. This is crucial, as it will affect your field survivability.
#4: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Information regarding The Combine and the tactical movements of Overwatch is of great value, even holding greater stance than the usage of weapons itself. ATLAS fighters are expected to not keep such information to themselves and share it with their fellow resistance soldiers, in and out of the ATLAS cell. If presented in a near-death situation, discreetly inscribe the information for others to learn.
#5: ACCEPTANCE
We live in a world filled with many possibilities and unexplored phenomena. If you happen to encounter any strange anomaly, whether it’s a Combine synth or any unidentified entity, you are expected to embrace the ignorance of acknowledging said entity, and to act fast by either disposing of the anomaly or evading it whole.
