Deep Ground Soldiers
President ShinRa order the creation of a new army in an underground facility beneath Midgar, "Deep Ground", but when Meteor crashed into Midgar at the end of Final Fantasy VII they were trapped with no way to escape to the surface. As a link to ShinRa each Deep Ground Soldier has the SOLDIER badge on their uniform. Three years after the end of Final Fantasy VII they have found a way out of their underground tomb and are free to do what they feel.
The startup sequence from the demo of Dirge of Cerberus at Square Enix Party 2005 shows the Deep Ground Soldiers attacking what is Kalm in the middle of the Kalm Revival Festival causing panic and mayhem in the city. Why they are attacking is still not clear but it seems that they are looking for Vincent. Why the Deep Ground Soldiers are after Vincent is not clear but there are a number of theories floating around some of which are available on our forums.
The Deep Ground Soldiers have a lot of technology available to them, much of which they use to find what they need or to get it. They have very powerful weapons, vehicles including helicopter like machines and many other things. There have also been a number of beasts and strange creates they have control over. What they are is still unknown, they could very easily be people that have been mutated in some of Professor Hojo's experiments.
