Background[]

Main article: Rainbow's history (Rainbow Six Wiki)

To summarize, Rainbow was founded as an elite counterterrorism unit by John Clark, who was concerned with the rising global terrorism since the end of Cold War on Earth. The group saw many successes in preventing terrorist attacks and upholding their main beliefs. Since its formation in 1999, Rainbow has prevented several terrorist plots since its activation but was deactivated in 2012. The unit was reactivated three years later under two new "Sixes", to combat the White Masks and their widespread terrorist attacks.

Long ago, Rainbow were informed of Levi Klitschko, a Russian mad scientist attempting to use Originium for his biological experiment. They conducted a counterterrorist attack in order to arrest him; however, this resulted in them and Klitschko being teleported to Terra.

Following the incident, the Rainbow members in Terra led by Eliza "Ash" Cohen currently work alongside Rhodes Island while attempting to find a way back home. In the meantime, under Eliza's reorganization and the team's absorption into Maylander under its Security and Defense Company, a Terran version of Team Rainbow has formed.^[1]
