PROLOGUE
S.T.A.R.S.
(Raccoon City Arklay Mountains 24th)
Search patrol helicopter missing.
According to an announcement by a spokesperson of the Raccoon Police Department, the special mission unit belonging to the Raccoon City police force, or more accurately S.T.A.R.S., the search helicopter carrying the Bravo Team disappeared today on the morning of the 24th, which had been missing since they departed to search for answers regarding the recent murders surrounding Arklay.
Arklay Mountain range. Although they were dispatched to conduct a field survey of Raccoon Forest, it was said the last communication was cut off as of last night.
The police suspect there's a high possibility of them being involved in some kind of trouble, in addition to seeking a witness testimony survey, we plan to dispatch S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team this evening.
In recent years, the Raccoon suburbs have had numerous reports concerning murders and similar topics, but now they're more frequent and this incident is likely to lead to a panic among the local citizens.

CREATURES
Zombie
A human who has become a monster after their genetic structure has been altered under the influence of the t-Virus. The virus is active in the monster, which spreads the virus over a wider range by attacking uninfected people.
Crimson Head
A state where Zombies resume activity with ferocity and high speed due to cellular activation after the Zombies cease activity upon incapacitation. Since the genetic structure also changes again, it's better to think of it as a different monster. However, there's a solid consistency in the time it takes to restart activity. When attacking, it's more likely to use its claws than bites.
Cerberus
A biological weapon (B.O.W.) produced by administering the t-Virus to military dogs. It's superior in agility with long-distance high-speed movement and cooperation within a pack.
Monster Plants
Plants mutated by secondary infection of the t-Virus. Although plants tend to be considered unsuitable for spreading viruses because they cannot move themselves, long-term contamination expansion by pollen has more effects on animals.
Crow
A crow infected with the t-Virus which became violent via secondary infection due to the accidental leak of the virus. Although it occurred irregularly, if the t-Virus was actually used as a weapon, being spread by such secondary infection would be quite deadly.
Crimson Head Prototype 1
Administered with an experimental prototype of a t-Virus variant. Afterwards, it was sealed alive in order to analyze the results for combat abilities, then the variant was cultured and produced. Further details are unknown because analysis hasn't been completed.
Adder
A snake that became more aggressive by secondary infection of the virus. It combines the effect of the haemorrhagic poison which it had originally, and the virus infection.
Wasp
A bee enlarged by secondary infection from pollen of a virus-infected plant. Because the origin's an insect, the attack power by secondary infection is low, but there's a possibility of a large biological outbreak and the potential for contamination's high.
Web Spinner
A bioweapon (B.O.W) created by experiments in t-Virus administration and genetic manipulation based on spiders. By being able to move in unusual areas such as walls and ceilings, virus infection possibilities can be expanded to hidden areas.
Yawn
Based on a t-Virus administration experiment and genetic manipulation, it created a monster. Because the plan was interrupted due to a virus leak accident while researching it as a weapon was in progress, details such as attack ability are unknown.
Lisa Trevor
Before the t-Virus was developed, researchers administered the Progenitor Virus, which later became the base virus. She absorbed the prototype parasite in the middle of an experiment and has properties different from other test subjects. Later on she became the test subject who triggered the discovery of the G-Virus discovery, and was abandoned after sample extraction. Combat abilities are unknown.
Neptune
A bioweapon (B.O.W.) made by experiments and genetic manipulation based on sharks. The marine biological weapon's military effectiveness is low, but it's studied for virus experiments on genes different from terrestrial organisms. Therefore details such as combat ability underwater as weapons are unknown.
Plant 42
Its ability to contaminate areas via its pollen's unimaginable. Considering it was created from the accidental leak, its combat abilities are unknown and as such the prospect of reproduction as a weapon's uncertain.
Hunter
This humanoid B.O.W.'s reinforced and remodelled by adding the genetic information of other organisms as well as genetic structure changes by the virus. It was devised to invalidate defensive measures such as anti-virus equipment and well-armed.
Black Tiger
A mutant of the Web Spinner. It's unknown why only this individual has become large since experiment data's scarce. Its performance as a weapon is yet to be investigated.
Chimera
Created based on humans via genetic alteration with the t-Virus and incorporating the genetic information of other organisms, just like the Hunter. It combines the aggressiveness of the Hunter with the special mobility of the Web Spinner.
Tyrant
The completed form of a combat bioweapon (B.O.W.) with the t-Virus. Can follow programmed instructions like a solider. Although it has the possibility to fundamentally change the concept of war, in order to collect data, it's necessary to conduct a large-scale practical test, and its abilities are unknown at this time.

Organizational Summary of Special Mission Unit S.T.A.R.S.
It was Raccoon City Police Department's Special Forces S.T.A.R.S. that got involved with the case. Here we talk about the troops and the outline of the Mansion incident.
History of Establishment
In 1996, the Racoon Police Department decided to set up a Special Forces unit for crime prevention within the police organization, in order to cope with urban terrorism and increasingly multiplying crime, Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) was formed including twelve specialists in every field.
There were also sponsors from local leading companies who sponsored S.T.A.R.S. which has advanced training and equipment, and they officially launched about a year later in December 1997. In addition, it was the pharmaceutical company Umbrella that became the leading organisation of their sponsors.

Overview of The Mansion Incident
The Mansion Incident began on May 11th 1998. While studying the t-Virus an accident occurred and the Mansion Incident took place. The cause of the outbreak's unknown, but this caused a biohazard and unleashed creatures throughout the mansion (including humans). It seems the influence of the infection gradually eroded over about one month in spite of its sudden appearance. However, in the meantime Umbrella hasn't reported anything and there's no doubt the company's suspected to have hid the truth surrounding the incident. As a result, the occurrence and response of the incident were significantly delayed, amounting to many victims.
The Raccoon City Police Department's involvement came about two months after the incident. The Racoon City Police Department finally decides to deploy S.T.A.R.S. due to the recent bizarre murder occurrences. However, in reality S.T.A.R.S.' involvement was officially issued on July 24th, two weeks later.
On May 11th, a large-scale virus outbreak occurred in the mansion owned by the Umbrella Corporation in the Arklay Mountains. It infected facility workers, researchers and the surrounding ecosystem.
On May 20th, the corpse of a young woman's found on the bank of the Marble River of Raccoon City. The damage suffered to the body was extremely severe, and there appeared to be teeth markings and scratches all over the body. Also, it was estimated that the corpse flowed downstream from the Arklay Mountains.
June 16th - The local newspaper Raccoon Weekly posts an article titled "Dog-Shaped Monsters Found In Arklay Mountains." Even eyewitness reports were consistently making the news.
July 9th - Many citizens become distressed and more missing reports come in from the Arklay Mountains. On the same day, the Raccoon Police Department closes the mountains and decides to investigate the matter by setting their special mission unit S.T.A.R.S. on the task.
Prior to dispatching S.T.A.R.S. on July 21st, Umbrella will destroy the laboratory facility in the Arklay Mountains and move their base to beneath the Raccoon City Underground Laboratory. The S.TA.R.S. Bravo Team, who set out to Arklay to investigate the case on July 24th, disappeared. On that same night, Alpha Team will be launched to search for the Bravo.
July 25th - S.T.A.R.S. return home with a great number of casualties. Only a few return.

Umbrella
The Arklay Laboratory became the site of the Mansion incident. Here, we'll touch on the rough structure of the research laboratory and the staff etc. involved. Facilities inside the Mansion building and other areas. The Mansion's divided into four areas: the main house, a dormitory, a laboratory and the courtyard. The Mansion building has several floors, the second floor, first floor and underground. It's littered with art objects such as various sculptures and paintings, and even a tiger statue. There seems to be no signs of life because the area's so sparse, it's easy to imagine this is a "giant trap" to eliminate or kill intruders.
Outside the mansion includes a courtyard, a dormitory which is accommodation for researchers to stay overnight, and there's also a huge aquarium in its basement. Also, when passing through the same courtyard used to access the dormitory, there's a hidden entrance to the true purpose of this mansion's existence, six laboratory facilities, four of which are underground, all of which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and high security measures which cannot be compared to any other place regarding how strict the access was.
List of stakeholders concerned in the laboratory stated in recovered files etc.
