Marines

THE UNITED NATIONS MARINE CORPS

"Doesn’t matter if it’s the socialists, insurgents, or nightmares that crawled out of hell - when the call comes, the UNMC answers. We don’t run. We don’t hide. We get the job done. We make sure there’s a home to go back to."
— Unnamed UNMC Gunnery Sergeant, Drill Instructor aboard a station military academy.

The United Nations Marine Corps or simply just the Marines are one of the two main playable factions in the game, the other being the Xenonids and ultimately respond to the UNMC High Command. The UNMC is governed by the civilian government of the United Nations, and regulated by the Provost Marshal Office. The UNMC was primarily assigned to the defense of the growing frontiers of the United Nations government.

Current day, the UNMC finds itself locked in a war on insurgency, with everyday seeing another colony on the frontiers go dark due to an unseen enemy, or another colony declaring itself independent and aligning itself with the loose conglomerate known as the Colony Liberation Front. The situation only continues to grow worse with new enemies appearing daily and insufficient funding and manpower to meet the threat head-on.

Events such as prior operations can be found on the main page, under Major Events.

Other branches of the UNMC include:

• The United Nations Medical Service,
• The United Nations Space Navy

UNMC Recruiter

Ranks: Sergeant

Life on the frontier can be boring and exhausting, with many people, especially those born on backwater planets, seeking a means of escape into a more profitable, interesting, or meaningful life. The role of a UNMC Recruiter is to convince such people that signing up into the Marine Corps will provide such an opportunity. Equipped with a service-jacket, cap, and M1984 Pistol, these Recruiters are sent out to distant outposts and colonies, in-particular those with little hope for career growth or interest. These Recruiters often have storied careers with the UNMC, with a familiarity around distributing orders and military Overwatch systems.

• Survive the Xenonid outbreak.
• Try to recruit other civilians.
• Redeploy or contract to take back the colony.

UNMC Synthetics

The Synthetic roles are unique, allowing the player to take control of a non-organic robotic synthetic. While synthetics are stronger, faster, and more capable than the average human, this comes at a cost. Their actions are bound by strict rules and protocols.

Synthetic

Synthetics are expected to assist the crew of the ship in any and all applicable tasks, acting as highly capable support units across multiple fields. All these second and third generation models are produced by Weston-Yamada.

• Their enhanced strength, precision, and resistance to damage make them valuable assets both on and off the battlefield.
• Synthetics can perform advanced medical procedures such as surgery and triage, operate engineering equipment, handle hazardous materials, interface with complex systems, and provide logistical support during operations.
• This is a whitelisted role.

Average Joe

Average Joes, designed and produced by Novaris Industries, are a basic class of synthetic, designed for simple labor and routine shipboard tasks.

• Unlike their more advanced counterparts, Average Joes are less intelligent, lack advanced reasoning capabilities, and operate with limited autonomy.
• They are primarily tasked with basic maintenance, logistics, and manual support duties aboard the ship.
• While not suited for complex medical or technical procedures, these synthetics can carry out simple repairs, transport equipment, assist in resupply operations, and help maintain general ship functionality.
• This is a whitelisted role.

MARSOC

The Marine Special Operations Command is the United Nations' special operations unit, tasked with high-stakes missions requiring the utmost precision and expertise. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and advanced infiltration gear, MARSOC operators are trained to excel in hostile environments, from dense urban centers to remote worlds. These elite marines undertake covert operations, reconnaissance, and direct action missions, often deep behind enemy lines, where adaptability and rapid response are crucial.

MARSOC exists to carry out the UN’s most difficult directives with ruthless efficiency, often in situations where no other unit would succeed, where precision, speed, and an unyielding commitment to mission success are paramount. When you’re deployed, failure isn’t an option. This means you're at the top of the food chain, you'll be taking orders directly from High Command, it also means that nobody on the field, can tell you what to do or where to go.

MARSOC Roles

MARSOC Operator

Ranks: TBA

• You're the best of the best, equipped with the most advanced equipment that the UNMC can field.
• You may be required to protect a member of High Command.
• You answer solely to High Command; no one else has the authority to issue you orders. Remember: as MARSOC, you’re not just a soldier; you’re the UN’s last line, called in only when the stakes are highest.
