This is USS Almayer, calling anyone... Mayday, Mayday...We are under attack... They are everywhere, we are losing our crew fast! Mayday...Please help...This is USS Almayer...
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 signaled 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".
Friendly/Neutral Space Factions
| Mercenary group | Description |
|---|---|
 Freelancer Mercenaries |
They're a collection of ex-Colonists in the Tychon's Rift sector, who have banded together to form a mercenary group, and as such have been the lawmen-for-hire in the sector from 2181 to 2186. 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.
Warning: There is a chance for the Freelancers to be HOSTILE when they are spawned, although it is up to them to decide depending on the current situation. |
 Corporate PMCs |
The largest PMC force in the sector, the Corporate military consultants is a subsidiary of the Company. They were originally an independent PMC on Earth, but they were bought out by the Company 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 Colonial Liberation Front |
The Colonial Liberation Front are an organized group of colonists who believe the Tychon's Rift sector is not part of the United Americas.

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.

 The Iron Bears |
The Iron Bears are a special forces group from the USSR. While the USSR and the US/UA 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 USCM counterpart, but this is compensated by their weapons usually having a very large ammo supply.
