History[]

2012-20XX[]

Following the successful U.S.-led invasion of Takistan, a team led by Rita Ensler was dispatched to the country.[2] However, their transport was shot down by Takistani militiamen and most of the passengers aboard - aside from Ensler herself, Dr. Anita Baker, a third aid worker from another NGO, along with a journalist, perished in the crash.[3][4]

They were held in captivity by Takistani military troops until June 2nd, 2012[3], when a squad of U.S. soldiers rescued the survivors and brought them to the safety of NATO-held lines.[5]

Since then, the NGO has continued to provide aid to displaced civilians throughout Takistan[6][7][8], though their mission has been complicated with the growing humanitarian crisis caused by the government's infighting with local tribes.[9][10][11] Increased attacks by various insurgent groups against foreigners has also further added to their difficulties.[12][13]

Trivia[]

  • HiN appears to be the Armaverse counterpart of the real-world "People in Need" (PIN), a Czech NGO based in the city of Prague, Czech Republic.
