'''Force Reconnaissance''' is a specialized branch within the '''[[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]]''' that provides deep-space reconnaissance, planetary surveillance, and limited-scale raids in support of a space unit, other marine forces, or joint operations. FORECON teams operate ahead of main combat elements, gathering intelligence and conducting high-risk insertion missions.
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 ==
== Role and Capabilities ==
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.
FORECON is tasked with conducting strategic and operational reconnaissance in high-risk environments, often operating independently or in coordination with larger Marine forces.  Although a conventional Marine force, FORECON shares many tactics, techniques, procedures, and equipment with special operations units. While not officially designated as a special operations force, they operate in a similar capacity.


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.
FORECON is expected to maintain the ability to covertly operate and pursue their objectives, even when unable to contact and coordinate with [[Marines|UNMC]] [[High Command]]. Due to tensions between the [[United Nations]] and [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]], FORECON's relative independence has been a significant asset to gathering intelligence on their rival nation, in the hopes of gaining an advantage if war were to ever break out. Recent [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|CLF]] activities have also led to FORECON being deployed to remote locations in order to either gather intelligence on a cell's capabilities, prepare for a larger marine detachment, or even conducting raids on smaller-scale cells.


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.
== Command and Organization ==
During large-scale operations, Force Reconnaissance units report directly to the [[Marines|UNMC]] [[High Command]], and provide deep reconnaissance and direct action support. FORECON is guided by a Commander, who is a highly skilled military operative that will often deploy alongside the main unit. Below them is the Squad Leader, responsible for ensuring that the team meets the orders issued by the Commander, as well as taking command if the Commander is ever unable to lead.


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.
== History ==
 
FORECON was formed shortly after the [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]] was established, as a means of increasing the newborn United Nation’s military intelligence and reconnaissance  capabilities. FORECON units would see deployment during [[The Orthis War]], but would eventually see budget cuts following the end of [[Operation Justice]], due to the uneasy peace left in it's wake.
== Current Operations ==
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
== Departments ==
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 - AEGIS Operators ===
Forming the backbone of AEGIS’ Paramilitary Arm, the Operations Department oversees the tasks of '''AEGIS Operators''', which serve 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.
 
This department 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. The Operations Department 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. They also benefits from AEGIS’ preexisting logistical systems, as well as having access to state-of-the-art prototypes and equipment for internal testing.
 
Although they fall under a similar command structure to the UNMC, and many operators originate from the Marine Corp, the Operators are 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.


===== Primary Operations =====
During this period, FORECON would be kept occupied primarily with gathering information on the activities of the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|SPP]]. However, due to the reduced budget, they were hampered, and only able to gain basic information about fleet movements, troop activity, and SPP bases.
AEGIS Primary Operations, or APO, 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. Primary Operators 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, APO has become a vital force for protecting AEGIS interests at home or abroad.


===== Specialist Operations =====
[[The Fires of Kharis]] would change all this. The lack of reliable intelligence and reconnaissance had led to the deaths of thousands, and had led to [[High Command]] realizing the need for a capable, well-funded military recon and surveilling force, capable of not only assessing battlefield conditions, but also conducting covert raids against insurgent cells which had begun to crop up. FORECON would receive not only increased funding, but also better equipment, preparing them for conflict against the newly formed [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|CLF]], the SPP, and other groups which would threaten the [[United Nations|United Nations’]] territories.
AEGIS Specialist Operations, or ASO, are the more subtle, covert, and secretive cousin of APO, 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 Primary 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.


Specialist operations are similar to APO, 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.
== UNS Hanyut ==
<blockquote>''Pan-Pan. This is the commanding officer of the UNS Hanyut, UNMC FORECON. We are currently grounded on planet LV-522 in the immediate area of Chance's Claim. We are unable to contact the Hanyut and our dropships are unable to take off at this time. We are requesting assistance from any nearby vessels; this broadcast is set to repeat every 24 hours.''</blockquote>The only known in-game Force Reconnaissance unit in the United Nations Marine Corps operates from the ''UNS Hanyut'', a Light Assault Transport. This team was deployed to investigate a distress call from the colony, but an unknown incident left the ground troops stranded planetside, unable to contact the Hanyut orbiting above. Cut off and under attack by a hostile alien force, their situation is grim.


=== R&D Department ===
Later, a second signal reaches the [[UNS Almayer|''UNS Almayer'']]. The marines aboard this vessel now face a choice: mount a rescue for the isolated FORECON unit and their commanding officer, while confronting the same [[Xenonids|deadly threat that severed their lifeline]].
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.

UNS Hanyut

Pan-Pan. This is the commanding officer of the UNS Hanyut, UNMC FORECON. We are currently grounded on planet LV-522 in the immediate area of Chance's Claim. We are unable to contact the Hanyut and our dropships are unable to take off at this time. We are requesting assistance from any nearby vessels; this broadcast is set to repeat every 24 hours.

The only known in-game Force Reconnaissance unit in the United Nations Marine Corps operates from the UNS Hanyut, a Light Assault Transport. This team was deployed to investigate a distress call from the colony, but an unknown incident left the ground troops stranded planetside, unable to contact the Hanyut orbiting above. Cut off and under attack by a hostile alien force, their situation is grim.

Later, a second signal reaches the UNS Almayer. The marines aboard this vessel now face a choice: mount a rescue for the isolated FORECON unit and their commanding officer, while confronting the same deadly threat that severed their lifeline.
