Rainbow Six Storyline
After a series of terror attacks, Team Rainbow uncovers a plan to unleash a lethal nanotech virus. From the streets of Paris, to the islands of Mediterranean, to the Sahara Desert, Rainbow tracks a global Terrorist network, working against the clock to rescue hostages and defuse ticking bombs.

The Global Liberation Front (GLF) is a radical terrorist organization comprised of terrorists from all over the world. They all share a single goal - the destruction of the government of the developed nations. The GLF has acquired a lethal nanotech virus, which they plan to deploy at the NATO Summit in Spain. Their goal is to kill the leaders of the developed nations, crippling those countries and plunging the world into chaos.

Rainbow is mobilized, but the GLF are heavily armed, and they're ready for a fight. They're packing state-of-the-art weapons, and they're using Rainbow's tactics against them. Ambushed and outnumbered, the members of Team Rainbow must find the strength to defeat their most dangerous enemies yet. But when members of Team Rainbow are captured and tortured, it becomes a mission of retribution.

Rainbow Six Background
Team Rainbow is a multinational task force comprised of counterterrorism experts from around the globe. Equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, Team Rainbow is deployed during terrorist crises. When all other attempts have failed, Rainbow is brought in to save the lives of innocent people. They do not negotiate with terror. They destroy it.

Rainbow began as an idea shared by John Clark and Domingo "Ding" Chavez. Clark, a former Navy SEAL and CIA operative, met Ding during a covert operation in Columbia. During the operation, Chavez was rescued by Clark. After that mission, Ding joined the Central Intelligence Agency. Clark and Ding developed a mentor-student relationship over the course of several missions together.

Rainbow was created in 2000, Ding Chavez was made a Team Leader, and they began recruiting counter-terrorism operatives immediately. Experts in close-quarters combat, demolitions, electronics, surveillance, and reconnaisance was recruited. Snipers, hackers, soldiers, policemen, and contractors were all brought to Hereford, England. There, Rainbow shares its headquarters with the British Special Air Force.
