Overview
The Canadian Colonial Armed Forces (CCAF) Section is a Response Team deployed from the United American Spaceship (UAS) Polaris under orders from CCAF High Command, Lamont Station Beta. This section represents one of the standard infantry detachments deployed across the United American sphere, and acts under UA authority during joint operations.
They bring grit, order, and Dominion-era discipline to the battlefield.
Backstory
Founded from surviving remnants of the Canadian military post-unification, the CCAF serves as the primary ground force for the United Americas.
The CCAF Section aboard the Polaris was originally stationed at Fort McMurray Orbital Training Grounds before being rotated to Lamont Station Beta. From there, they were assigned to provide peacekeeping and stabilization during the colonial transfer following Weyland-Yutani’s acquisition of Canadian Neroid Sector colonies.

Relations with the USCM
Tense but professional. The USCM considers the CCAF a wildcard — not quite allies, not quite outsiders. Joint operations are often subject to military police action.
Do not expect access to all USCM resources. Do not expect to be welcomed. But do expect to be respected — after all you’ve bled beside them.
Gameplay Tips
- Coordinate with USCM, but prioritize CCAF orders.
- Play your role: clean, competent, and a heart as cold as a Canadian winter.
