AEGIS Armaments (or Adaptive Engagement & Guidance Integrated Systems.) is a significant arms manufacturing corporation, and is the primary weapons contractor for the [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corp]]. AEGIS Armaments is responsible not only for the manufacture of traditional firearms (Such as the M54C Line of rifles or the renowned 1984 Pistol ) but also support systems such as mortars, anti-air measures, and equipment such as body armor, among a wide range of other military-hardware related products.  


== History ==
The sudden arrival of the [[Marines|UNMC]] and their [[UNS_Almayer|ship]], is a harsh reminder that the [[United_Nations|United Nations]] still sees this region as theirs to control.
AEGIS Armaments was initially incorporated within the [[United Nations]] by a collection of wealthy business magnates, military veterans, and highly-skilled engineers, making their name by producing a variety of different firearms and armor for the civilian market. AEGIS would slowly establish their brand, creating an image of reliability and competence all while high-ranking executives would use their connections to network with various UN Officials, lobbying with more militaristic politicians to gain an advantage over rival competitors in terms of contracts. Eventually, the United Nations would select the M1984 as the standard-issue sidearm of the [[Marines|UNMC]], which still sees use to this day.


Using their successful acquisition of the sidearm contract, AEGIS would follow up by developing new assault rifles, sub-machine guns, shotguns, and designated marksman rifles, patenting them and providing them for the UNMC. As the company became more financially stable, their researchers began experimenting with more theoretical and bizarre weaponry & gear, developing and testing them to see what stuck and what didn’t. Although many failed prototypes would be discarded, equipment deemed to have potential value were branded with the “XM” designation, and given in limited capacities to UNMC forces for testing.
It’s time to show them otherwise. Rally your fellow colonists and make it clear - this is our territory now.


Eventually, through tactful acquisition of competitors, substantial lobbying, and a reputation for high-quality products, AEGIS would become the foremost weapons supplier for the UNMC by the time of [[The Orthis War]]. Their firearms would become widely associated with the UNMC, and AEGIS would see widespread success.


However, recent developments have seen AEGIS’ dominance of the UNMC’s military-industrial complex falter. The patents for the M54C and M63 expired some time ago, with [[Weston-Yamada]] producing variations of the aforementioned firearms for internal security use; WEYA has also contested AEGIS in various UNMC contracts, securing the M77 as a mainstay sidearm, while also capturing shipbuilding and ship weapons contracts. Another rivalry has arisen between [[Halcyon]] and AEGIS, as many within the company’s hierarchy hold connections to the United Nations, and view Halcyon’s arms deals with the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]] to be a substantial threat to their operations and the security of the UN. Despite these issues, AEGIS still remains the primary corporate sponsor of the United Nations Marine Corp, and will likely remain as such for years to come.
''There will be times when our fight feels impossible - standing alone, uncertain against the vastness of our enemy. But remember this: freedom is as natural as life itself. It sparks into existence, ignited by spirit and will.''


== Current Operations ==
''This front exists wherever there is resistance. Every act of defiance, no matter how small, weakens the [[United_Nations|UN]]’s grip. Tyranny is fragile - oppression demands constant vigilance, and it will crack under the weight of resistance.''
As it stands, AEGIS has continued to invest in bettering their product catalog, and expanding into new areas of technology to counter their corporate rivals. Recent insider leaks have indicated that AEGIS has begun work on developing an experimental phoron-based orbital warhead orders of magnitude stronger than the preexisting shells known as the “AEG-328-KRA”, or “KRAKEN, combining both the explosive power of an HE Shell and the burning effect of an Incendiary shell.  


AEGIS’ armor also remains a popular product of theirs, being present not only within the [[Marines|UNMC]], but also seeing adoption within the [[Colony Marshal Bureau (CMB)|Colony Marshal Bureau]] as riot-armor variants. The company has continued to sell gun attachments, as well as weapons and ammunition for various dropship models.
''One day, these scattered uprisings will wear down their power until a single act shatters their hold. Endure, resist, and believe. Freedom is inevitable.''


Although AEGIS primarily focuses on military hardware, they’ve also seen success within the office industry, with their photocopiers and fountain pens remaining popular choices for any office in need of equipment.

== Overview ==
[[File:CLF_Standard.png|frameless|128x128px|center]]
The Colony Liberation Front, also known as the Free Colonists, is a broad categorical grouping of different cells and groups, formed from a result of growing discontent within the colonies of the Frontier. Originally beginning as peaceful protests, the CLF has transformed into thousands of armed cells and groups, each with their own ideologies and vision of an independent frontier.


Despite the recent difficulties AEGIS has faced, they remain a military-industrial powerhouse in the [[United Nations|UN]] through their preexisting contracts, joint-research projects, in-house PMC operations, and the widespread respect for their firearms.
== History & Ideology ==
The first Colony Liberation Front group would be considered the government of [[The Orthis War|Orthis]]. Covertly supported by the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]], they sought to overthrow the [[United Nations|United Nations']] grasp on the colony, and transfer control to the SPP. The plot failed, but it would serve as the first major revolution among the stars. [[Operation Justice]] would also spark some concern among the colonies, as images of widespread destruction and rumors of war-crimes by senior officers of the [[Marines|UNMC]] spread amongst the frontier. [[The Fires of Kharis|Kharis]], however, would be the spark igniting the fires of the CLF. The civilian casualties attributed to the event led many to lose faith in the superpowers. Many would-be Liberation Front guerillas believed that, if their home on the Frontier were to thrive, it would need to be torn away from the distant nations, by force.


== Departments ==
Broadly, the CLF believes that the United Nations, [[Three Suns Empire]], and/or Socialist Progressive Peoples do not represent their interests and needs, and that they deserve the right to self-determination. Many likewise share a discontent with large Corporations and the influence they hold over their homes. Recruitment to a Colony Liberation Front cell requires only belief and dedication to the cause, meaning that many groups are militias formed from colonial roughnecks, former soldiers, farmers, and other citizens of the Frontier. However, each cell tends to develop their own ideology and ideals. Some may seek to develop a democratic institution, while others fight for charismatic autocrats seeking to establish their own petty kingdoms.
As a large corporation, AEGIS Armaments has multiple different Departments which handle the day-to-day operations of the company, making sure everything works smoothly and efficiently to ensure profit, success, and reliability.


=== Operations Department ===
== Organization ==
Forming the backbone of AEGIS’ Paramilitary Arm, the Operations Department oversees the operations of AEGIS Operators, or AO, which serves as a reliable alternative to [[Marines|UNMC's]] more slow and bureaucratic nature, while avoiding the unreliability and lack of funding inherent to Freelance mercenary groups.  
As the Colony Liberation Front is less of an organization as opposed to a broad grouping of distinct factions and cadres, the internal structure is often very disorganized. Cells follow the orders of a Commander, who dictate the ideology and tactics used by the cell. Occasionally, these groups will split due to internal factionalism and rivalries, further muddying the waters of what is considered the CLF.


AEI is split into two groups; Primary Operations, the standard troops that make up the Operations Department, and Specialist Operations, a more secretive and covert ops group. As the name suggests, AO focuses less on motorized vehicles and firepower, preferring flexibility and enhancing the infantry they bring to bear. Although less in number compared to formal militaries like the UNMC or [[Three Suns Empire#Royal_Crown_Marines|Royal Crown Marines]], they compensate through a higher average level of skill, training, and experience. AEI also benefits from AEGIS’ preexisting logistical systems, as well as having access to state-of-the-art prototypes and equipment for internal testing.
Every cell must have resources, and the methods of acquiring their weaponry and equipment varies. Many arm themselves with civilian-grade equipment, while others loot from military surplus depots. Cells aligned with the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]] will covertly receive equipment from dead-drops and transportation networks, and rarely may be funded by wealthy frontier millionaires seeking to grow their own powerbase by pushing out the larger governments and corporations.


Although they fall under a similar command structure to the UNMC, and many AO soldiers originate from the Marine Corp, AO is an independent force loyal to AEGIS; that doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to give their close allies a hand when they’re in need, though.
Typically, cells are small groups, consisting of a dozen or more colonists, representing and fighting for the colony of origin. A few larger cells exist, representing groups which seek to secure independence for areas larger than a local colony or star-system. Although their size provides more sway and legitimacy to discontented colonists, they face greater attention from forces like the [[Colony Marshal Bureau (CMB)|CMB]] or [[Marines|UNMC]], making their position precarious. Occasionally, different cells may cooperate, but these alliances are typically short-lived.


===== AEIPO =====
== Faction Relations ==
AEGIS Operators Primary Operations, or AOPO, are the poster-boys of the Operations Department. Often originating from military veterans, highly-skilled [[Freelancer Mercenaries|freelancers]] scouted for their talent, or members of another PMC Company who’ve decided to jump ship, they’re tasked with protecting AEGIS installations, completing contracts they’ve been hired to perform, and occasionally aiding the UNMC when in need. PO Soldiers work in smaller detachments, but are highly mobile, allowing them to traverse hostile terrain quickly, scout ahead of larger forces, skirmish with rival corporate groups, such as [[Weston-Yamada#Weston-Yamada's_PMCs|Weston-Yamada PMCs]], and provide on-demand security at a price. As the [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|Colony Liberation Front]] works to overthrow the [[United Nations|UN]]’s military support structure, PO has become a vital force for protecting AEGIS interests at home or abroad.
Due to the diversity of Colony Liberation Front cells, faction relations are complex, with each having their own stances on the superpowers.


===== AEISO =====
=== [[United Nations]] ===
AEGIS Enhanced Infantry Specialist Operations, or AOSO, are the more subtle, covert, and secretive cousin of AOPO, used when AEGIS would prefer to keep things quiet.  Since SO operates in a similar capacity to the [[Marines|UNMC’s]] [[MARSOC]], admittance is a tough billet, with only the most skilled Recon, [[Freelancer Mercenaries]], or AEIPO operatives being accepted to become a member of Specialist Ops. Their existence is somewhat of an open secret, with the truth being distorted through rumor and the fog of war.
Due to the impact of [[Operation Justice]] and [[The Fires of Kharis]], the United Nations has faced a high degree of activity from CLF cells. Generally, most remain highly hostile to the UN. The only exceptions tend to be smaller cells within the Socialist Progressive Peoples, seeking to defect to the United Nations, although the UN typically avoids acknowledging such groups for optics-related reasons.


AOSO’s operations are similar to AOPO, but more specialized in reconnaissance, intel-gathering, and independent operations. While they work to protect AEGIS’ interests by quelling [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|CLF]] cells before they become a threat to the company and sabotaging and engaging in corporate warfare with arms-dealing rivals like [[Weston-Yamada|WEYA]] and [[Halcyon]], SO is occasionally hired by the UNMC to assist in high-value operations which require a specialist’s touch. Under these circumstances, they usually sabotage enemy infrastructure, designating targets for CAS or Orbital Bombardment, engaging in high-stakes reconnaissance, and securing valuable personnel or landing zones.
=== [[Three Suns Empire]] ===
Although the UN remains the focal point for many CLF cells, there’s plenty of insurgent groups within the Three Suns Empire. Typically holding anti-corporate stances, due to the TSE’s close relationship with corporate entities such as [[Weston-Yamada]], the diversity of the CLF remains a fact, ranging from SPP-Supported socialist cells, to radical monarchists attempting to restore an autocratic system of royalty.


=== R&D Department ===
=== [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]] ===
The R&D Department of AEGIS Armaments are responsible for designing, testing, and iterating on new weaponry, ammunition, attachments, and gear for sale. The R&D Department prides itself on its high-quality equipment renowned for power and precision. Although this confidence is a benefit to ensure that each product meets the expectations placed in AEGIS, it can occasionally lead to issues when eager scientists explain in press releases the devastating impacts their weapons have had, or when a research team realizes halfway though a project that it would technically break the Stellar Accords if ever deployed. Despite that, the R&D Department is the pride and joy of AEGIS Armaments, regularly producing experimental gear with a fantastic potential for greatness.
The Socialist Progressive Peoples could, on paper, be argued to have the most positive relationship with CLF rebels. As a means of destabilizing the UN and TSE, the SPP has a tendency to support many insurgencies with similar ideological beliefs, or who are willing to cooperate with them. However, many cells either distrust the SPP, or are actively rebelling against them within their borders due to a lack of free speech and democratic representation.

Overview

The Colony Liberation Front, also known as the Free Colonists, is a broad categorical grouping of different cells and groups, formed from a result of growing discontent within the colonies of the Frontier. Originally beginning as peaceful protests, the CLF has transformed into thousands of armed cells and groups, each with their own ideologies and vision of an independent frontier.

History & Ideology

The first Colony Liberation Front group would be considered the government of Orthis. Covertly supported by the Socialist Progressive Peoples, they sought to overthrow the United Nations' grasp on the colony, and transfer control to the SPP. The plot failed, but it would serve as the first major revolution among the stars. Operation Justice would also spark some concern among the colonies, as images of widespread destruction and rumors of war-crimes by senior officers of the UNMC spread amongst the frontier. Kharis, however, would be the spark igniting the fires of the CLF. The civilian casualties attributed to the event led many to lose faith in the superpowers. Many would-be Liberation Front guerillas believed that, if their home on the Frontier were to thrive, it would need to be torn away from the distant nations, by force.

Broadly, the CLF believes that the United Nations, Three Suns Empire, and/or Socialist Progressive Peoples do not represent their interests and needs, and that they deserve the right to self-determination. Many likewise share a discontent with large Corporations and the influence they hold over their homes. Recruitment to a Colony Liberation Front cell requires only belief and dedication to the cause, meaning that many groups are militias formed from colonial roughnecks, former soldiers, farmers, and other citizens of the Frontier. However, each cell tends to develop their own ideology and ideals. Some may seek to develop a democratic institution, while others fight for charismatic autocrats seeking to establish their own petty kingdoms.

Organization

As the Colony Liberation Front is less of an organization as opposed to a broad grouping of distinct factions and cadres, the internal structure is often very disorganized. Cells follow the orders of a Commander, who dictate the ideology and tactics used by the cell. Occasionally, these groups will split due to internal factionalism and rivalries, further muddying the waters of what is considered the CLF.

Every cell must have resources, and the methods of acquiring their weaponry and equipment varies. Many arm themselves with civilian-grade equipment, while others loot from military surplus depots. Cells aligned with the Socialist Progressive Peoples will covertly receive equipment from dead-drops and transportation networks, and rarely may be funded by wealthy frontier millionaires seeking to grow their own powerbase by pushing out the larger governments and corporations.

Typically, cells are small groups, consisting of a dozen or more colonists, representing and fighting for the colony of origin. A few larger cells exist, representing groups which seek to secure independence for areas larger than a local colony or star-system. Although their size provides more sway and legitimacy to discontented colonists, they face greater attention from forces like the CMB or UNMC, making their position precarious. Occasionally, different cells may cooperate, but these alliances are typically short-lived.

Faction Relations

Due to the diversity of Colony Liberation Front cells, faction relations are complex, with each having their own stances on the superpowers.

United Nations

Due to the impact of Operation Justice and The Fires of Kharis, the United Nations has faced a high degree of activity from CLF cells. Generally, most remain highly hostile to the UN. The only exceptions tend to be smaller cells within the Socialist Progressive Peoples, seeking to defect to the United Nations, although the UN typically avoids acknowledging such groups for optics-related reasons.

Three Suns Empire

Although the UN remains the focal point for many CLF cells, there’s plenty of insurgent groups within the Three Suns Empire. Typically holding anti-corporate stances, due to the TSE’s close relationship with corporate entities such as Weston-Yamada, the diversity of the CLF remains a fact, ranging from SPP-Supported socialist cells, to radical monarchists attempting to restore an autocratic system of royalty.

Socialist Progressive Peoples

The Socialist Progressive Peoples could, on paper, be argued to have the most positive relationship with CLF rebels. As a means of destabilizing the UN and TSE, the SPP has a tendency to support many insurgencies with similar ideological beliefs, or who are willing to cooperate with them. However, many cells either distrust the SPP, or are actively rebelling against them within their borders due to a lack of free speech and democratic representation.
