Your History

During a typical round, the USS Almayer has been tasked with investigating an automated distress beacon from a colony in the Neroid Sector. Your mission is to command the Marines during a Search and Rescue operation, as well as eradicate any hostiles on the colony.

During the events of a typical round of Colonial Marines, you are a recently-assigned Commanding Officer of the USS Almayer as of August 25, 2182, for less than an year.

Whether you were the previous Executive Officer of the USS Almayer, a disgraced officer assigned to a backwater transport, or the most recent unfortunate 'shoe-in for what some might' consider a cursed position; for whatever reason you are now in charge of the lives of everyone onboard.

Good luck.

Your Personnel

As Commanding Officer, your most significant tools are not weapons, but the leadership and all military structure under your command:

The Command staff: These are the direct successors of the command if you are away and have the primary mission of helping the squads down below. They operate by using the overwatch consoles to support the squads and by micromanaging them so you won't have to concentrate on four squads at the same time

The Marines: you have four squads under your command, each formed by 1 Squad Leader, 2 to 4 Hospital Corpsmen, 2 to 4 Combat Technicians, 1 Smartgunner, 1 well equipped Weapons Specialist, 2 Fireteam Leaders and numerous Riflemen.

The Military Police: A handful of Military Police and their leader, the Chief MP that answer directly to you. They are assigned the duty to perform arrests on those that break Marine Law and to protect you and your crew from any hostile threats.

Medical staff: Surgeons, researchers and nurses, their tasks include providing extensive medical assistance aboard the Almayer or in the FOB, creating custom medicine for deploying corpsmen on request, and researching and developing potentially very powerful new medicine, stimulants or lethal chemicals. They are led by a Chief Medical Officer and composed of Doctors.

Engineering: The shipside engineers' primary concern will be fabricating custom explosives for your grunts, squad engineers and squad specialists, loading the Orbital Bombardment Cannon, then fixing any broken thing on Almayer. It's important to note that you can authorize the Ordnance Technician and Maintenance Technicians to go down planetside to assist in the construction of the FOB and/or the distribution of their custom explosives should it be absolutely necessary,

Supply: Supply is an important part of the Almayer. They provide weapons, equipment, supplies, medicine, chemicals for your Ordnance Technicians, and ammo for your ship and marines. You should always have direct contact with the Requisitions Officer to coordinate supply drops and what to order. Make sure to be explicit and direct on what you order and for which squads.

Synthetic: A stronger version of a human, made from silicone and science, they're programmed to assist the Almayer in various supporting tasks and are not meant for combat situations. Remember, they completely understand Marine Law and never break it, so as long as your orders are sensible and do not contradict Marine Law, they will be followed through with efficiency

You also have the incredibly useful communications console, with the various abilities of:

Making a general announcement: a general announcement will be heard by all marines that are awake. It's highly useful for making sure all marines are aware of any updated orders and the general situation of the battle, aka whether or not an area has been lost or gained or if an area is being flanked or surrounded.

Sending a message to USCM High Command: Even the boss has a boss. Sometimes in times of need, you need to contact the High Command to ask for their support or to inform them of something important. This system is used only for emergencies, for less pressing matters, you have a fax machine within your private office.

Send a distress signal: Sending a signal will spawn a crew of Responders, this can only be activated during a Delta Alert Scenario such as a hostile boarding.

Setting Primary Landing Zone: Allows you to select a primary landing zone, if one isn't chosen 25 minutes into the round the primary LZ is defaulted as LZ one. Setting a primary landing zone means that the other landing zone computer cannot be hijacked.

Initiate the Almayer's escape pods: When everything goes haywire, you can always use this option to attempt to preserve the lives of your Marines and escape like a coward. The escape pods will take 10 minutes to launch. Note that you can only occupy three people inside the pod; otherwise, the pod's thrusters will blow up due to overload capacity.

Award Medal: Commanding Officers can award medals for various marines for their heroic acts. See below for more information.

Your Equipment

As the Commanding Officer, you have access to a few unique items to set you apart from the rank and file.

You spawn with either a special issue Mateba, an extremely powerful auto-revolver, or a Desert Eagle, both powerful enough to knock a Human off their feet. The Commanding Officer also has access to two special prototype weapons the M46C Pulse Rifle and the M56C Cavalier Smartgun both of which can be found in the Commanding Officers Vendor. Additionally, you have your Command Tablet which is a portable communication console on the go. It can be found in a wall locker north of the CIC bubble. Finally, you spawn with a pair of laser designators.

Standard Equipment

Description:

Mateba autorevolver custom

The .454 Mateba 6 Unica autorevolver is a semi-automatic handcannon that uses its own recoil to rotate the cylinders. Extremely rare, prohibitively costly, and unyieldingly powerful, it's found in the hands of a select few high-ranking USCM officials. Stylish, sophisticated, and above all, extremely deadly.

This version of the Mateba revolver is a limited edition produced for the USCM, and issued in extremely small amounts. Was a mail-order item back in 2172, and is highly sought after by officers across many different battalions. It comes with a customization kit to change to one of the three specialized barrels if the commander sees fit.

polished vintage Desert Eagle

The handcannon that needs no introduction, the .50-caliber Desert Eagle is expensive, unwieldy, and extremely heavy for a pistol. However, it makes up for it with its powerful shots capable of stopping a bear dead in its tracks. Iconic, glamorous, and above all, extremely deadly.

M46C pulse rifle

A prototype M46C, an experimental rifle platform built to outperform the standard M41A. Back issue only. Uses standard MK1 & MK2 rifle magazines.

**Abilities:**
Toggle IFF	Toggles the ability for the M46C to fire through friendly targets. With IFF enabled, the M46C fires slightly slower. With IFF disabled, the M46C performs the same as a M41A Mark 1 pulse rifle.

The Command Tablet

The command tablet currently has five available functions to its user. These five functions are the following:

Make an Announcement - Allows the commander to issue announcements away from CIC.
Award a medal - Allows the commander to issue medals away from CIC.
Tactical Map - Allows the commander to see a tactical map of the current operation.
Initiate Emergency Evacuation - Triggers the emergency evacuation, only available on red alert
Send a Distress Beacon - Sends an SOS signal from the Almayer that can be received by Responders, only available on red alert

Provisions

As the Commanding Officer of the USS Almayer, you have special provisions the typical Commissioned Officer or Enlisted Personnel do not possess, these include:

Battlefield Execute personnel under your command if they have committed crimes that threaten other Marine Personnel, the ship or the operation.
- This can be achieved by using your chosen special issue side-arm and it's special ammo. To initiate a Battlefield Execution aim at the head and fire point blank into a human target, after a small wind up they will be executed, they will need to stay in point blank range for the wind up to complete.
Pardon personnel who have committed Major or Minor crimes from the brig.
Demote personnel who have committed Major crimes to a junior position in their department
Deputise Command Staff or the synthetic to perform arrests if Military Police are not avaliable.

More Information can be found on CO Provisions

Expectations

All Commanding Officers of the USCM are expected to abide by the Code Of Conduct and Marine Law failure to meet these expectations can result in being detained by the Almayers Military Police or a possible demotion

Mutinies

Mutinies can happen for many reasons, but it's mostly due to the marines not liking something you did. this could be for a multitude of reasons. Whatever the case may be, you have two options of handling it. Conceding to their demands and stepping down or fighting them off.

Taking on the mutiny head-on can be scary at first but remember that you've got an always loyal crew of MPs and possibly CIC staff, and an easily defendable location. You'll be able to funnel them in and hopefully taser them down, arresting them in progress. If it comes to guns, you'll be ready to fight them off if the mutiny is relatively small.

Of course, the best course of action is to prevent the mutiny outright. Make sure you treat your marines right, and they'll treat you right.

M540-B Разведывательный Бронетранспортер

M540-B Разведывательный Бронетранспортер (АРК) - это легко бронированный транспорт предназначенный для разведки и добычи информации на поле боя. Входы в АРК находятся по бокам.

Только ШО, ХО и КО могут использовать снаряжение АРК, но старший инструктор и синтетики могут выполнять роль водителя. Доступно для покупки через древо технологий

СНАРЯЖЕНИЕ
M540-B Разведывательный Бронетранспортер (АРК) хранит в себе множество систем для поддержки наземных сил вокруг себя.

Внутри АРК есть терминал данных для загрузки данных с найденных на колонии дисков, а также загрузки данных с бумаг которые прочитали ИО. Данный терминал сильно ускоряет работу по сбору разведданных.

Вместе с терминалом данных в АРК также присутствует консоль наблюдения для слежки за определенным отрядом прямо из самого АРК.

АРК также имеет терминал с тактической картой который позволяет просматривать тактическую карту и прямо на ней рисовать планы.

Чтобы еще больше помогать с координированием наземных сил в АРК есть терминал наземных операций, точно такой же который есть в КИК.

У АРК есть система закрытия дверей и наружные камеры для просмотра ситуации снаружи. Также есть шкафчик с наномедом в случае если надо будет оказать экстренную медицинскую помощь. В случае если кончатся боеприпасы у турели то можно зарядить ее через загрузчик боеприпасов.

СПОСОБНОСТИ

Развертывание антенны радара. Как только антенна будет полностью поставлена на тактической карте в радиусе 45 метров будут показываться вражеские сигнатуры. Пока антенна активна АРК не сможет двигаться, но будет двухствольная пушка RE700. Требуется 10 секунд для размещения и свертывания антенны.

Отстегнуться от места водителя.

КРЕПЕЖИ

Колеса - Обязательны для передвижения АРК. 500 Прочности

U-56 Антенна Радара - Прочная антенна сделанная специально для АРК. 500 Прочности
