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

Synthetic

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. Currently, Synthetics are a whitelisted role. You can apply for the whitelist on our discord server found here. (SYNTHETICS ARENT OUT YET, PLEASE REMOVE THIS WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY ADDED IN RMC)

Synthetic

Synthetics are expected to assist the crew of the UNS Almayer in any and all applicable tasks, acting as highly capable support units across multiple fields. 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.

Average Joe

Average Joes are a more rudimentary class of synthetic, designed for basic 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 UNS Almayer.

While not suited for complex medical or technical procedures, Joes can carry out simple repairs, transport equipment, assist in resupply operations, and help maintain general ship functionality. They are directly bound to the ARES AI Core
