Freelancer Mercenaries are a rag-tag team of guns for hire, roaming the cosmos for any kind of work that will get them paid. They are usually armed with less expensive less reliable equipment that still can usually get the job done making a living off of the weapons they use.

=Overview=
Freelance Mercenaries are the less liked mercenary groups then the rest, however fortunate you may be in receiving these mercenaries know that they are equipped less then optimal equipment. They still are better then nothing, usually putting up a good fight before perishing, if at all.

Freelancer Mercenaries are infact guns for hire, which in turn means they aren't exactly willing to give their lives for the USCM unless they get paid. If things aren't already going down the crapper and there aren't xenomorphs trying to rip you to shreds make your way to the Combat Information Center and get paid. If they keep you in the dark with little to know about the threat ask for around 100k, the Merc's Captain decides how the profits are split.

(Recommended to Ahelp if you plan to be hostile) In some cases, you aren't guns for hire. You're drifters wandering the cosmos for any ship that seems easily raided, some would even call you space pirates. While very unlikely you can be hostile in most cases there won't be any backup, you are on your own. While you should listen to your captain you don't technically have to. It's recommended to listen to them unless you have a genuine reason to not, recommended to Ahelp if you aren't going to listen to your captain.

=Standing Orders=
The Freelancer Mercenaries follow their own orders and the order of the economy, you're here to make money and what ever the task is be it killing people, aliens, dragging corpses to medbay. Your number one goal is to make money, you look out for number one, yourselves. If you get paid for doing something that's looking out for #1.

The frontiers of space can be a dangerous place: pirates, raiders and rebels frequently attack colonies and lone ships wandering in space. The military sometimes can't reach those places (or sometimes, those people want to be VERY far away from the military), for solving those problems, many mercenary groups have formed to defend those people... or at least fight for the ones that need a gun for hire.

==Overview==

If the marines are outgunned by the aliens or any other potential threat, the commander can send a distress call to anybody in the nearby space vicinity, if heard by a nearby ship a Response Team will be signalled as hearing the signal for help, from this a Response Team will dock with the Almayer. The game randomly dictates which of the six Response Teams will be chosen for deployment, however these Response Teams can also be chosen by an admin to either help get the round moving or to deal with an in game event (Such as the Corporate Liaison requesting help).

To join a Response Team you need to set your "Toggle Special Role Candidacy" for Response Team to enabled and then when a Response Team message pops up go to the IC tab and click on "Join Response Team".

|Various small bands of guns-for-hire roam around deep space. They usually are small groups which work in small time jobs such as protecting ships, patrolling for pirates or defending independent colonies. Mercenaries typically use non-standard weaponry that is roughly similar in effectiveness to USMC weapons, however Mercs don't have a uniform loadout.

These mercenaries are paid to '''assist the defense of the Almayer only''', and will '''NOT''' leave the ship without payment or promise of such from whoever is in command.

![[File:PMC-Standard.png|64px]] [[Weyland-Yutani PMCs]]
|The largest PMC force in the sector, the '''Weyland-Yutani military consultants''' is a subsidiary of Weyland-Yutani. They were originally a independent PMC on Earth, but they were bought out by WY 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 Weyland-Yutani facilities, space stations and colonies. PMCs are the most similar to the USMC in playstyle, but they wield weapons far more powerful than the USMC on average.

The PMC teams will report '''directly to the Weyland Liason'''. If he is killed, they will report to whoever is in command. Their primary mission is the '''survival of the WY Liason''', and once that is ensured, to take '''suggestions from the commander''' on how best to help.

|Halling from the jungle planet of ''Watchman'', the '''Dutch's dozen''' are a small, yet powerful group of mercenaries specialized in jungle warfare. It's members are trained to fight and depend on 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 MAR-40, however, they are extremely well trained to use these weapons, often better than any marine with a M41A.

These mercs '''May or May Not''' follow Command orders. Their goal is the '''elimination of the Aliens'''.

|The '''Iron bears''' are a special forces group from the USSR. While the USSR and the US are at peace and officially co-operating, the USSR still wants USCM technology. On average Iron Bear weapons are typically slightly less effective than their USMC counterpart, but this is compensated by their weapons usually having a very large ammo supply.

The Iron Bears will defend themselves from Alien harm, but will '''attempt to seize the ship''' as soon as they can, with the focus (and their goal) of reaching the bridge to trigger the lockdown.

==Deathsquad==

The deathsquad, also know as the Commando's, is a special event, they can be only activated by admins. When active, they will all spawn from ghosts and will have one mission: kill everybody aboard the Almayer(Corporation Liason notwithstand, depending on his interactions with WY), Alien or Marine. For this, they will have a special equipment to kill and protect from damage more efficiently.

They are highly trained and utterly loyal to the corporation. They are not affiliated with the WY 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 the Company.

They posses the most deadly equipment available, using the prototype [[Marine_Equipment#X-13_Apesuit|X-13 "Ape suit"]], a special armor tailored to stop the effects from the xenomorph's acid blood, protect the wearer's head from facehuggers and a thick Kevlar cover to protect from bullets, as well as being issued with a more powerful [[Marine_Equipment#M41A/2 Battle Rifle|M41A/2 Battle Rifle]]. They are a force not to be messed with.

The Iron Bears

The Iron Bears are a Soviet special forces group. The Iron Bears primary task is to capture USMC technology whenever possible, and the opertunity to capture a fully armed USMC Warship is something they could not resist.

== Overview ==
----

The Iron Bears are unique in that they work against the interests of the USMC Marines. They will gladly kill both Alien and American alike.

Their sole objective is to storm the Combat Information Center and lock it down, once accomplished they will have to attempt to clear out the USMC forces, and whatever else, that are still active on the ship.

The USMC do not know initially that the Iron Bears are hostile, however undoubtedly someone from USMC command will attempt to warn the ship of the Iron Bears true intentions.

== Standing Orders ==
----

Hello comrade. Today we have an important mission for you. We have received a distress call from one of the USCM’s warships.This ship contains vital technology that will boost our strength against the US. We need this ship intact.

The ship's crew do not know of this but be on your guard, I don't think they will want any of us so stay sharp.

You and your team will board the ship and secure the Combat Information Center at all costs and activate the ship lockdown system. Send a message hailing our warship so we can send additional troops to secure the ship.

The ship is our main priority, we'll deal with whatever they were fighting later.

Shyshadow: Used Google now I know.

I kinda want to help make the Wikipedia page more life-like and more "Friendly" while of course this is a Medium Roleplay server. I saw the amount of charm the page has, of course there's the legitimacy of the page. Though the introduction should be a lot more humorous in my opinion. Also there should be a Supplementary Video for roles, mostly due to GOON station doing it and it's always made me laugh.

Weyland-Yutani PMCs are military personnel owned and operated by Weyland-Yutani. They are equipped with advanced modern military equipment and weaponry akin to the USCM and similar national militaries.

= Overview =
WY PMCs are the most similar ERT in playstyle to the US Marines, as PMCs operate similar weapons and equipment. Unlike the USCM the PMCs are significantly better funded and equipped, thus they come with more powerful, but expensive, weapons and support equipment.

The PMCs operate under a more rigid command structure, with far more highly specialised roles dictating a soldiers designation in a squad, unlike the more flexible USCM Specialist system.

WY PMCs are typically far better equipped than their USCM counterparts, with superior armour, stronger weapons, and masks with a far better ability to resist facehugging attempts.

= Standing Orders =
The WY PMC's are under the direct command of the [[Corporate Liaison|Weyland Yutani Corporate Liaison]], the primary objective of the PMC's is the survival of the Corporate Liaison. If the Liaison is dead they will report to the highest ranking Marine Officer alive. Once the safety of the Liaison is assured the PMC's can then take suggestions on how to best contain the assault on the Almayer.

|Equipped with [[Marine_Equipment#M42c_Anti-Tank_Rifle|M42C Anti-Tank Rifle]] and scout armour. Their unique sniper allows the PMC Sniper to deal massive amounts of damage in comparison to their USMC counterpart, however they are lacking in close quarters deterrents.
