TG-18

Teddioo Gang, commonly known as TG-18, is an international criminal gang that originated in Trowd City, Trowd, in the 1990s. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips and Bloods. They are identified by the yellow colour worn by their members and distinctive hand signs.

TG-18 is responsible for the formation of the terrorist orginisation, the Black Bandits, after the gangs founder Rocky Macklin was shot and nearly killed by an assassination attempt, carried out by the Bloods and Crips.

History
TG-18 was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Crips and Bloods in Trowd City. The rivalry originated in the 1990s when members of the Crips attacked and robbed Dimitri Manzanares' sister. As a result, Manzanares and his friend, Rocky Macklin, formed the TG-18 street-gang. The gang was initially formed to provide members protection from the Crips. On June 21, 1995, shortly after a concert, 20 youths belonging to the Crips attacked and robbed a teenage boy outside of the Trowd Palladium. Ballou was beaten to death after he refused to give up his bicycle. The sensational media coverage of the crime and the continued assaults by the Crips increased their notoriety. Several non-Crips gangs formed during this period were no match for the Crips and they became concerned with the escalating Crip attacks. The Boulevard Taliban, Bloods, Clyde Hill Militia and other gangs often clashed with the Crips. On August 5, 1995, Fredrick Garner was murdered by a West Falmouth Crip. This marked the first Crips murder against another gang member and motivated non-Crip street-gangs to align with each other. TG-18 struck back on August 12, 1995, by murdering Thomas Ellis, a co-founder of the Crips. By late 1995, TG-18 held a meeting in Fort Boyton to discuss growing Crips pressure and intimidation. Several gangs that felt victimized by the Crips joined TG-18.

During the late 1990s, TG-18 alligned with the White Mafia and began distributing purple powder in Trowd City, giving them a percentage of the earnings. The TG-18 membership soon rose dramatically as did the number of cities in which they were present. These increases were primarily driven by profits from drug distribution. The huge profits allowed membership to span all throughout Cotton Island.

By 2007, there were over 12,000 members of TG-18, outnumbering the Crips. In order to assert their power, the Crips agreed to allign with the Bloods, but the Crips requested that the Bloods assassinate Rocky Macklin in order to allign. The assassination failed, and the allignment was negated. The assassination attempt made the rivalry between TG-18 and the Crips even stronger, causing the formation of the Black Bandits. The Black Bandits intended to murder and terrorize the Crips and Bloods as revenge.
