'''Military Contractors''' are military personnel owned and operated by Vanguard's Arrow Incorporated(VAI), a United States-based Private Military Company. They are equipped with modern military equipment and weaponry akin to the USCM.

= Overview =
Military Contractors are most akin to USCM in terms of playstyle and equipment, sharing most equipment and weapons. They are capable of using almost anything you can come across with great expertise, they are however, lightly armored.

The contractors operate under a much less rigid command structure, with everyone in the squad being of equal rank except the Team Leader, and all members of the squad being able to assist in whatever is needed at that particular moment.

The major difference between Military Contractors and other response teams is their complete friendliness to the USCM, their primary objective being to assist them in whatever ways are possible.

=Backstory=
Founded by nine USCM Veterans in 2166, following the Tientsin Campaign, Vanguard's Arrow Incorporated grew steadily from then til 2180, eventually becoming one of the biggest PMCs operating out of the United Americas.
In 2177, VAI managed to get the 2177 Military Aid Act passed by UA Congress, allowing independent contractors to assist USCMC forces in exchange for back-pay at a pre-determined rate, greatly increasing the potential cash-flow PMCs could make off the UA.

In early 2180, an unspecified incident involving mass-colonist casualties and damage to We-Yu property occurred on LV-191. Following this, many major contracts with VAI were dropped, however, a few months after, an unknown benefactor offered a new contract.
In exchange for a large payment, that would consistently come, VAI would begin a campaign of corporate espionage and sabotage against Weyland-Yutani. VAI, almost out of contracts, accepted this deal, believing the extra cash-flow and weakening of We-Yu PMC forces would assist their business much more than being in a small-scale corporate war with WY would cause, as well as the loss of some minor contracts in the TWE. Later, this series of offensive operations against WY further escalated into full-scale attacks on small WY facilities.

Since then, the still-ongoing contract has kept VAI afloat, albeit still not anywhere near its hey-day. The 2177 Military Aid Act has also not been repealed, allowing VAI a bonus source of cash-flow via assistance of USCM forces wherever possible.

Vanguard's Arrow Incorporated is split into five sections:
VAI Central Command(VAICC), contains all administrative and executive personnel of VAI.
VAI Special Protection(VAISP), tasked with the protection of VAICC and VAIMS personnel and vessels.
VAI Special Operations(VAISO), tasked with more unsavory operations, black ops, and the majority of anti-WY work.
VAI Primary Operations(VAIPO), tasked with anything that is not in the realm of VAISP and VAISO. Makes up the majority of VAI combat personnel.
VAI Medical Science(VAIMS), tasked with manning medical ships, dispatching medical specialists to act as team medics, and running laboratories. VAIMS was previously known as VAI Medical-Support until 2181, when the science and research division was established.

The majority of VAI personnel are ex-USCM, with the rest being made up of members of other UA militaries, and ex-military immigrants sprinkled in as well.
The forces that respond to the USS Almayer's potential distress beacon are stationed on the USS Inheritor, made up of about 300 Contractors and 50 Support personnel, they are assigned to riot-control, military aid of the USCM, and sabotage and espionage of WY whenever it is convenient.

= Standing Orders =
VAIPO Mercenary Teams are to assist USCMC forces whenever possible. While the Team-Leader has ultimate authority over their team, in absence of commands from VAICC, teams are to report to the highest ranking USCM officer on-site for tasking and acquirement of IFF codes of the local USCM force. All VAI teams have also been tasked with their active contract of espionage and sabotage against Weyland-Yutani, however, it is highly recommended to keep these operations quiet, as a direct engagement with WY on-board a USCM vessel or on a USCM operation-site will draw unneeded attention, and depending on the standing of the officers in charge of the USCM force, a potential engagement with USCM forces as well.

'''DO NOTE:''' There's a chance for the contractors to be aware or unaware of the alien threat, the details are located in the backstory when you spawn.

Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

=Weapon Attachments=
Marines can acquire attachments for weapons. Most attachments must be acquired via [[Requisitions]] or the vendors located in your squad's main prep room. Most ROs usually give unrestricted attachments to most marines, though some may grant more restricted attachments to squad leaders, medics, engineers, or specialists. Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you.

Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, underbarrel and the muzzle. Each location allows only one attachment at a time. Most attachments offer an advantage and some disadvantage.

The statistics for attachments are subject to change and will most likely change often. Until they do change, this page will be up to date on the statistics on each attachment.

Note that secondary attachment weapons such as the U7 Under barrel shotgun are not affected by other attachments on the weapon they're attached to, and don't inherit their effects.

Designers from a Weyland Yutani subsidary, Lindenthal-Ehrenfeld Militärindustrie, iterated on the USCMC's M3 pattern personal armor in their Tokonigara lab to create an armor system to suit the unique needs of the Three World Empire's smaller but better equipped Royal Marines.
Provides slightly stronger protection than standard issue USCM medium armour, but at the benefit of faster movement speed comparable to light armor. Comes with three internal storage slots.
This armor is worn by the '''RMC Riflemen''' and '''RMC Marksman'''.

''USS Almayer? Come in, USS Almayer!
Can you hear me?'' ''Come in, USS Almayer!''
''... Hang in there, Almayer! Help is on the way!''

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 [[Commanding Officer]] can send a distress call to anybody in the nearby space vicinity, if heard by a nearby ship a '''Response Team''' (Or either '''a Pod full of [[Aliens]]''' or '''an empty shuttle with limited supplies''') 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 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 Ghost tab and click on "Join Response Team".

The '''Freelancer Mercenaries''' are mostly good willed, but they are almost entirely motivated by money rather than ethics. The least hated faction in the sector, though ironically they can be either hostile or friendly towards everyone.

They were originally an independent PMC on Earth, but they were bought out by Weyland Yutani 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 USCM in playstyle, but they wield weapons far more powerful than the USCM 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.

Contractors are, like their WY counterparts, also most similar to the USCM in playstyle, but they use standard USCM weapons and ballistic vests instead of the advanced weapons and armor that WY PMCs are equipped with.

Military Contractor teams report to their team leader first and foremost, but in absence of orders from VAI Command, they are to '''report directly to USCM Command'''.

The Marshals are tasked with rooting out corruption, enforcing interstellar law, and protecting colonial citizens, especially in regions where corporate overreach and military presence are unchecked.

The CMB consists of standard investigation teams (1 Marshal , Deputies and a Investigative Synthetic) and may include ICC Liaisons or Interstellar Human Rights Observer. In emergency scenarios, specialized Riot Control Units (SWAT) can be deployed from Anchorpoint Station for containment operations, utilizing non-lethal gear and breaching tools.

The Commandos are composed of elite human operatives selected for loyalty, discretion, and combat expertise. Outfitted with advanced weaponry and cutting-edge equipment, they operate with little oversight and report directly to Weyland-Yutani High Command.

|A classified black-ops extermination unit developed by Weyland-Yutani High Command, the Whiteout Team is composed entirely of advanced synthetic combat droids engineered specifically for biohazard containment and witness suppression. Unlike PMCs or synthetics, these androids are purpose-built for war and programmed with unwavering loyalty to the corporation. They are deployed only when a situation has spiraled beyond control, when cleanup requires absolute precision and zero compromise.

Their primary directive is to eradicate all evidence of xenomorphic infestation and eliminate any unauthorized personnel who may jeopardize corporate secrecy. This includes the full liquidation of crew and assets aboard the USS Almayer.

Each unit is equipped with the most advanced warfare technology Weyland-Yutani has to offer. Outfitted with the prototype M7X “Ape Suit” series, designed to withstand xenomorph acid blood and heavy gunfire, they are built to endure the harshest combat environments. Their arsenal includes the [[Non-USCM Equipment|M41A/2 Pulse Rifle]] for standard engagements, the [[Non-USCM Equipment#Flammenwerfer 3 Heavy Incineration Unit|Flammenwerfer 3 Heavy Incineration]] Unit for close-quarters purging, and, in select models, a reverse-engineered optical camouflage system derived from recovered Yautja technology, allowing them to become nearly invisible before the kill.

MOTHER's order directives - ''Alien''

'''Whiteout''' are an elite black-ops fire-team owned and operated by Weyland-Yutani High Command. They are equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry and armor, '''tasked with only the most dangerous of missions'''.
=Overview=
Whiteout Units are advanced, AI-operated combat droids developed and deployed by Weyland-Yutani High Command for one singular purpose: total sanitization. Their deployments are rare, deadly, and absolute. Built with cutting-edge synthetic intelligence, these droids execute corporate directives without hesitation, mercy, or deviation.These machines are not bound by human ethics or battlefield conduct, they are tools of corporate sterilization, deployed only when all other containment protocols have failed. Whether it be silencing witnesses, destroying research stations, or eradicating alien bio-threats, Whiteout Units are the final answer. Unlike most other responders that can be spawned via an answered distress beacon from [[USS Almayer]]'s command, the Whiteout can only be spawned via the intervention of an administrator on the server.

When deployed, the Units' objectives might vary, although the most common objective handed out by Weyland-Yutani High Command is to contain an outbreak of Alien activity by mercilessly [[Marines|killing everyone o]][[Aliens|n the USS Almayer]]; xenos or humans.

'' "Clause 88c of your employment agreement has come into effect." '' - Whiteout Unit

Depending on the actions of the [[Corporate Liaison]] on board the ship before the Whiteout are deployed, the Whiteout Units might receive an additional objective to either extract the Liaison back to safety or kill them alongside the Marines and Aliens on board the ship. Depending on how the round develops, additional objectives might be given to the Whiteout in the form of retrieving important items, capturing and containing live Aliens for further research, extracting an important VIP, etcetera.

'' "There is no escape." '' - Whiteout Unit

As one of the squad members of the Whiteout, expect a steamroll-kind of gameplay. Simply put, guns blazing. Remember that a squad of Whiteout Units is better than one Unit getting pinned down during a firefight. You have [[Marine Equipment#Military Armor|very strong armor]] to withstand a lot of damage so make use of it. Not only that, you also have [[Marine_Equipment#PMC.2FCommando_Equipment|special rifles and revolvers]] to mercilessly bring any human down in just one burst. For the case of Xenos however, do exercise caution, as they'll pin you down and pick you off one by one. Remember that you have a strong gun and armor to take out the lesser aliens alone, as for the stronger ones, you'll need your squad to take those down.

Due to the extremely dangerous nature of the Weyland-Yutani Whiteout Units' operations, the armorers at the company supply them with some of the most powerful gear that money can afford, shown below:

=Standing Orders=
As a '''Whiteout Unit''', you answer only to '''[[Lore_Home#Weyland-Yutani|Weyland Yutani]]''' and them alone. The primary objective of the Whiteout Units is to exterminate all personnel and aliens on board the [[USS Almayer]] with extreme prejudice. Marines, command, xenos, survivors, other responders; all of them are not exempt from the wrath of a Whiteout Units battle rifle. The secondary objective of the Whiteout Units is to either extract or kill the [[Corporate Liaison]] stationed on the USS Almayer, depending on the actions of the Liaison throughout the round and if he remained a loyalist to the company or not. Depending on what has occurred in the round, a tertiary objective might be given; what this objective is depends on what the administrator requires of you.

|A heavily armed and armored Weyland-Yutani combat droid designed for high-risk extermination operations under the Whiteout Protocol. Outfitted with the M7X Apesuit, reinforced M7X helmet, gauntlets, and greaves, and powered by an internal android powerpack, this synthetic unit is engineered for resilience and operational endurance. Armed with a M41A/2 Pulse Rifle and the Flammenwerfer 3 Heavy Incineration Unit, it is fully equipped to eliminate both biological threats and entrenched resistance with brutal efficiency.

Deployed as part of a coordinated Whiteout fireteam, this unit operates with mechanical precision to fulfill any directive issued by Weyland-Yutani High Command. All personnel deemed expendable are to be neutralized, and any survivors are to be '''exterminated'''. No trace of the operation or the infestation is to remain.
