Responders

In the extreme event that the Marines of the UNS Almayer face overwhelming danger and the mission is at risk of failure, the Commanding Officer has the authority to activate a distress beacon. This signal can be detected by any nearby vessels within range. If picked up, a Response Team may be dispatched to aid the Almayer. However, the type of response is not guaranteed to be helpful—possible outcomes include the arrival of reinforcements, an empty shuttle with limited supplies, or even hostile forces such as a SPP strike team.

The game’s mechanics randomly determine which Response Team will arrive, although admins have the ability to manually influence the outcome to enhance gameplay or respond to specific in-game events. For example, a Corporate Liaison may request assistance.

Note that there are currently no ERTs in-game as of 09/09/2024. The response teams on this page are merely just proof of concept to show what teams will/could be added.

Friendly/Neutral Response Teams

Mercenary Group	Description
Weston-Yamada's PMCs	The largest PMC force in the sector, Weston Yamada's military consultants is a subsidiary of Weston Yamada. They were originally an independent PMC on Earth, but they were bought out by Weston Yamada and started to provide security to the outer rims of space, which became a rapidly growing sector at the time. Now, the PMC provides services of all kinds to governments and companies, they also provide security to corporate facilities, space stations and colonies. PMCs are the most similar to the UNMC in playstyle, but they wield weapons far more powerful than the UNMC on average. The PMC teams will report directly to the Corporate Liaison. If they are killed, they will report to whoever is in command. Their primary mission is the survival of the Corporate Liaison, and once that is ensured, to take suggestions from the commanding officer on how best to help.

Hostile Response Teams

Mercenary Group	Description
The Socialist Progressive People	The Socialist Progressive Peoples (S.P.P) is a powerful socialist block that rivals the United Nations in many respects. Being highly territorial and relatively secretive, the SPP maintains very little communication with those outside their borders. Their inner workings are largely a mystery. Since their territorial area is highly strict, their goal is to assault the recent UNMC force and eliminate anyone onboard the UNS Almayer, to preserve the sector's fragile UPP presence. Warning: There is a chance for the SPP to be friendly during their response. Rendering aid to the marines rather than repelling them from the area.
The Colony Liberation Front	The Colony Liberation Front are an organized group of colonists who believe their home sector is not part of the United Nations. They have grown used to their independence which they have "achieved" over the years; subsequently, they consider the withdrawal of a UNMC company, and the diminished presence of the CMB, to be proof of their independence. The CLF's goal is to repel the UNMC company aboard the UNS Almayer from their sector at all costs using lethal force. (CLF will always be hostile, unlike the SPP)

Special Response Teams

These response teams are admin-only and will never show up in normal gameplay unless there is admin intervention.

Mercenary Group	Description
Riot Military Police	A squadron of Military Police sent into quell marines that have gotten out of control, or to extract important prisoners of note. Packing full riot gear, with tactical shotguns and teargas grenades, they are masters in non-lethal combat and they WILL bring back order. The Riot CMP always outranks the CMP aboard the UNS Almayer.
HEFA Knights	The Holy Order of the HEFA Knights stand proudly as the true crusaders of shrapnel explosives. Armed with explosive resistant armour and M40 High Explosive Fragmentation grenades, these true heroes of the galaxy shall show the unbelievers the true power of HEFA.
Dutch's Dozens	The Dutch's Mercenary Team are a small, yet powerful group of mercenaries specialized in jungle warfare, serving the UN government. Its members are trained to fight with low tech weapons and equipment, learning special survival techniques and how to conduct guerrilla warfare. They employ very older or outdated weapons such as the M16A2 and the M60, however, they are extremely well trained to use these weapons, often better than any marine with a M54C. The team became specialized in fighting a mysterious alien, expect them on the battlefield helping the UNMC fight them.

Deathsquads

The Deathsquads, also known as the Commandos, is a special event that cannot be accessed through regular gameplay and can only be activated by admins. Once activated, they spawn from ghosts with a single objective: to eliminate everyone on the Almayer, whether Alien or Marine. To accomplish this, they are equipped with specialized gear designed to enhance their combat efficiency and provide superior protection against damage.

Deathsquad	Description
Corporate Commandos	A top-secret, black-ops group formed by Weston Yamada's High Command to deal with any kind of business with the Aliens, such as capturing or containing infections. Weston Yamada Commandos are reprogrammed and reengineered generation 1 synthetics made solely for combat. They are utterly loyal to the corporation. They are not affiliated with the PMC's. Their job is to clean up situations that are out of hand by killing everything they see (this MAY include the Liaison depending on his actions). Usually, when sent, they'll be informed that there is a Liaison onboard and he is not to be harmed if he has been loyal to Weston Yamada.
Socialist Progressive People Commandos	Little is known of the SPP, even less about the SPP Commando forces. It is a highly organized and covert ops army division issued by SPP High Command. Not much known about them, they're highly trained and well equipped to the best equipment they can take. This group has their own special missions issued by SPP High Command, as well as killing everyone who are not soldiers, glorified to the SPP.
Marine Special Operations Command	They are the elite special operations unit of the United Nations Marine Corps, representing the pinnacle of skill, discipline, and advanced warfare technology. These operators are the best the UNMC has to offer, trained to perform high-stakes missions in hostile environments across space. Equipped with cutting-edge gear and weaponry that rivals the technology of the SPP Commandos and Corporate Commandos, MARSOC is the spearhead of the UNMC, capable of undertaking the most critical and dangerous operations to protect the interests of the United Nations and maintain peace throughout the galaxy. Little is known about the true extent of MARSOC operations, as most mission reports are heavily redacted or classified at the highest levels. Whispers circulate in dark corners of colonies and among government circles, hinting at their involvement in suppressing colonial insurrections with brutal efficiency or even eliminating high-profile political adversaries. Officially, their actions are cloaked in silence, leaving only rumors to paint a picture of the lengths MARSOC may go to in order to uphold the interests of the United Nations. These operators may occasionally be neutral, tasked with protecting a high-ranking command member rather than eliminating the marines aboard the UNS Almayer.
