Introduction

As a member of the Armed Forces of the Union of Progressive Peoples, you are part of the largest human military force that stands in direct and hostile opposition to the United Americas and the United States Colonial Marine Corps.

While during a typical Distress Call game mode, you exist in a state of cold war with the USCM, meaning you can often range from being hostile, neutral or even allied with the USCM. However, during the Faction Clash game mode, you will almost always be hostile towards the USCM and their allies.

For more information about the game mode, read here: https://cm-ss13.com/wiki/HVH:Faction_Clash

Should you encounter any third-party forces, such as non-combatant civilians, colonial rebel forces, or even xenomorphs, you will generally use whatever force is necessary to defend yourself while prosecuting your primary task of defeating the USCM forces. You should generally not conduct combat operations against neutral or uninvolved third-party forces present on a battlefield unless they take up arms against you, or you are directed by your command.

Equipment

The UPP employ their own arsenal of unique weapons and armour. Broadly speaking, UPP equipment is generally less esoteric and flexible in functionality compared to their USCM counterparts. Whereas the USCM may have access to far more useful tools, the UPP often are left with more of a big stick. This does mean, generally, that UPP equipment tends to be somewhat stronger in terms of damage dealing, or damage resistance.

SSV Rostock

The SSV Rostock is a Brandenburg-Class expeditionary-frigate. A model of warships employed by the Union of Progressive People's, the Brandenburg was initially designed as a frontline railgun assault frigate, but following a doctrinal overhaul following the disaster of the Tientsin campaign, the Brandenburg was redesigned to become a mid-range missile combatant with two light-railguns in reserve, being given an extended fuel supply, a far more powerful FTL engine and an expanded hanger bay, capable of holding an Accipiter-dropship and two MIG-730 aero superiority fighters. It was intended that the Brandenburg would act to screen the larger and more valuable VP-153D Kremlin capital ships.

The Rostock is one of the few warships operated by the UPP within the Neroid sector. Due to their precarious circumstances, the personnel of the Neroid garrison performed several modifications to the Rostock, including the installation of a stolen corporate FTL inhibitor, an expanded cryo-stasis rack and an improved stealth coating, allowing it to better shadow enemy vessels. Whilst the stealth armour has decreased the vessels survivability, it was judged that the Frigate is already sufficiently lightly armoured that it would be better to improve its ability to evade detection, than absorb incoming fire.

For the time being, the craft was relegated to reconnaissance duties across the Neroid sector, observing areas of interest and ascertaining the disposition of Imperial and American forces in the sector.
