Alpha Team, Advanced Sci-fi Military Action

[Spade]

It’s 2103, Earth is experiencing a mass exodus.

Mankind’s effects on the planet have finally reached a tipping point. Resources are low, weather patterns are extreme and the threat of disease is more prominent than ever. In this era of decomposition, the nations of Earth came together and combined their efforts into an initiative to find the human race a new planet. The world’s greatest minds put aside their differences and came together to search for a new home planet, and worked to develop the technological means to transport.
After a decade of building and research, the deployment of colonies began, space borne colonies, vast enough to contain entire cities, agriculture and most importantly, human life. All colonies and ships were programmed to the same destination, a planet with the atmosphere and geographical make up to become our New Earth. The planet was to be inhabited by thousands of workers and engineers who would oversee the forming and building on the planet, all the while, the colonies would orbit and witness the progress on the planet for a planned period of 2 decades. Sadly, the peace that brought the nations of Earth together would eventually crumble, and turn into frustrated conflict.

Like the human race had done before for thousands of years, nations and their respective colonies began having conflict over what would eventually become their territory. Who would get what, where and how much. Alliances were formed and people chose sides. It was only a matter of time before the drums of war broke the silence of space. Armies attacked the colonies of their enemies, most fighting remaining between the floating cities in space rather than on the planet itself. Thousands died during the drawn out conflict, referred to as “The Colonial Wars” and the progress planetside was dramatically delayed. What was to be finished in 10 years was now going to take another twenty years, and with both sides feeling the effects, a truce was eventually worked out and a treaty known as the Intercolonial Peace Congruity was negotiated, dividing territory, resources and military rights equally. Many western hemisphere nations formed the Atlantic-Pacific Colonial Union, while most of the former European nations formed the Eastern Colonial Alliance. Dozens of smaller coalitions and alliances were made, it was only a matter of waiting for the New Earth to be fully ready.

It’s now 2139 and there are only 5 more years left until New Earth is ready. However, resources are beginning to grow thin, crime is uncontrollable in many colonies and the pressure is building for the planet to be rushed and ready as soon as humanly possible. Already, food is being shipped from New Earth to the colonies in an attempt to avoid mass panic and civil unrest.

Unfortunately, any plans of avoiding unnecessary conflict have been ruined. Greek Colony Theos has been raided and taken over from former military personnel stationed in Colony Nova, an American colony that was the sight of many battles during The Colonial Wars. Enter Cassius O’Shalna, once a private in America’s army, Cassuis’ record shows that he served and participated in nearly every brutal and significant battle during The Colonial Wars, rising up the ranks to colonel before the wars ended. After the treaty was signed, the fighting never stopped, it continued in the shadows and the darkness of space. Cassius’ abilities were recognized and his skills were utilized in many political assassinations and covert operations the public was to never find out about. As the years went on, and the wear and tear on Cassuis’ body mounted, parts of him were rebuilt or entirely replaced, arms, thigh muscles and eventually parts of the brain. Reconstructing parts of the brain through cybernetics is still a very taboo and controversial subject in 2139, so the secrecy of it all became that much more important. Still, Cassius’ work made him a mesmerizing figure that still carried the loyalty of his men. Cassius organized the attack, he rallied the troops and mercs that knew who he was, and what he was capable of. You see, Cassius is a very dangerous man, more than a man, a one man army with the intelligence of a supercomputer plugged into empty headspace where some of his brain used to be. Nobody knows what he really plans on doing with a small army and a colony full of hostages, the only thing the American branch of the APCU knows is that they have to be the ones to kill this guy or the ferocious cat is out of the biggest bag in the history of political secrecy.

High military command scrambled to put a team together. While the rest of the APCU met to arrange for a task force to meet the renegade Cassius and his men, there is a small squad that is in the works, composed of the best soldiers in their respective fields brought together to find Cassius and bring him down. This is their story, their struggle and their sacrifice. This is Alpha Team.
...

You down? Squad will be composed of a Squad Leader, Recon, Engineer, Medic and Heavy Weapons soldier.

------------------------------

Some deets on the classes:


8th Company “Lancers”, Squad Leader
“Strike first and prevail”
-Squad Leaders are soldiers who excel at close quarters combat, from up close and personal scrums to actual hand to hand combat, a Squad Leader is more effective when they are closer to the enemy. Lancers in particular are known to be masters at flanking and forcing the enemy into close quarters combat they simply can’t win.

Squad Leaders are equipped with an XC9 Carbine with shotgun attachment and standard sighting system, stun grenades and a Bayonet, a small energy heated blade that can slide out from under the Squad Leader’s wrist, making his strikes that much deadlier.

12th Company “Redbirds”, Recon
“Victory favors the fearless.”
-Recon soldiers are naturally soldiers of delicate approaches. Trained to scout ahead and always be alert of their surroundings, even more so, Redbird recon scouts are infamously fearless in the sense that they can travel into the unknown with certain eagerness.

Recon scouts are equipped with an silenced XC9 Carbine with a hand grip for increased accuracy, fitted with a Hawkeye sighting system, capable of night vision, thermal detection and state of the art zoom capability, as well as smoke grenades and a sidearm of the soldier’s choice.

37th Company “Celtics”, Engineer
“We carry the means to victory.”
-Engineers, particularly the Celtics, are masters of all things technological, but are known for their vehicular prowess. An engineer in the squad can serve as the anti-vehicle specialist, as well as a technological advisor, with abilities ranging from disabling an enemy tank to hacking a vending machine.

Engineers are equipped with an XC9 Carbine with a standard sighting system as well as a sidearm of the soldier’s choice, along with a multitude of technological devices and tools including EMP grenades, flash bang grenades, Sensor mines, plasma cutter/welder and C4 kits.

9th Company “Lamenters”, Medic
“Through us, the fight lives on!”
-Medics are of course an essential part of any squad, being capable of providing medical assistance/attention to anyone while in the field. While not universally renown for their combat prowess, Reaper medics are known to acquire kills with little effort due to their knowledge of the human anatomy.

Medic soldiers go into the field with a simple XC9 Carbine equipped with a standard sighting system as well as a sidearm of the soldier’s choice. Medics of course, being medics, carry a multitude of medical supplies so that they may be prepared to deal with anything ranging from a laser burn, bullet hole to an upset stomach.

1st Company “Annihilators”, Heavy Weapons
“First company, first to the fight.”
-Serving a necessary and essential role for any squad, heavy weapons specialists are known for work that may seem simple, but requires a multitude of skills. Known to be lethal with any weapon whatsoever, even the enemy’s, a weapons specialist is capable of doing anything from providing cover fire, to taking out entire enemy squads singlehandedly. The Annihilators of 1st company are well known to have impatient trigger fingers.

Heavy weapons specialists are equipped with an XC9 Carbine with a grenade launcher attachment, along with a sidearm of the soldier’s choice, frag grenades, and an XAT “Broadsword” light rocket launcher.

Each soldier wears a standard Mk.V Combat Armor System, which grants the wearer increased mobility, strength, stamina, monitors heart rate, brain activity as well as providing the wearer with communication capabilities with the rest of their squad and offers competent protection. Each soldier also carries an XC9 Carbine, a weapon that has evolved from the XM8 from today’s era. The XC9 carries energy heated bullets to better help neutralize threats wearing Combat Armor Systems.
The technology of war has propelled forward at a pace that the world had never seen before. Soldiers, armies and nations all depend on the performance of their CAS, or Combat Armor Systems, these suits act as both protection and computer for the mobile soldier. Hundreds of variations, thousands of uses. The days of flak jackets and kevlar are far behind. Soldiers instead receiving increased training on their CAS and how to best utilize it. A CAS squad from 2082 can accomplish what a platoon of soldiers from 2012 could. The arrival of the CAS was the beginning of a new era of warfare. Nations raced to invent and achieve the perfect CAS, fast, effiecient, strong and light.

[Hyena]

Interested, definitely.

Recon or Engineer :3

[GrievousKhan]

Interest shown!

Would be happy with Heavy weapon role.

Just a question, how flexible are the CAS's?

[ProfessorNemo]

I would like to be a medic if that's ok.

[Bumblebee848]

I'm very interested in this. I would love to be Recon.

[GrievousKhan]

Hope this did not die..

[Hyena]

I think it did.

[Bumblebee848]

It looks like he's got other versions of this already up and running, so...?

[Spade]

Haha, apologies everyone, I had no idea anyone showed interest.

I'll post an OOC up soon.

I did try this one before, but it died fairly quick, hopefully it'll really have a good run with some advanced writers.

[Aristocrap]

Oh, you have 5 people already?
