Roles	Description
Commanding Officer	You are the Commanding Officer aboard this ship! Try not to get your entire ship boarded or destroyed.This Role is currently whitelisted. Description: All the lives aboard this vessel are yours to command. You are responsible for overseeing how this entire vessel as a whole will act out and proceed with the mission in any way you see fit. That does not mean, however, that you are entitled to abuse. The lives of your crew and your marines are precious, try not to spend them on stupid decisions. However if a person or persons is a threat to the operations of the UNSC or the UNSC themselves, the ordering of request or even a battle execution be made without warrant from high command. A report should be filed afterwards for proper review of the situation. Difficulty: Hard Playstyle: As a Commander, it is your job to brief your men on the mission and direct them to how you want the operation be performed on the field. Communicate with your branch Officers to ensure ship combat readiness, or do all the work yourself if they are nowhere to be found. Enforce the rules of the UNSC and act as thr operations coordinator when other command staff are not available. You are not required to leave the bridge for anything other than materials to fax, but do so at your discretion. Try not to wear body armor or carry around anything not able to be holstered with a real holster. You aren't a soldier and neither are your crew. Leave that to the Marines.
Executive Officer	Description: The Acting Commander and second in command of the UNSC Frigate. You are there to aid the Commanding Officer with his daily duties, and to keep the Marine Corps in line when he's busy tending to the ship's navigation.

Patrol the hallways with the UNSC Navy's Security Branch Forces. Keep everything in check in lieu of the Commanding Officer. Make sure the armories are fully stocked with all M7s and body armor in storage unless boarding or scuttling must be done. Marines provide primary boarder repellent services and carrying around combat equipment without necessity is extremely unprofessional.

Unspecialized, they have knowledge to conduct basic tasks such as repairing power lines and operating weapons terminals. However advanced tasks such as generator repairs and management as well as bridge bound tasks are foreign to them and are subject for the specialized crewmen to take on.

As an ODST you are specialized in boarding operations, and will be the unit of choice to inspect and/or neutralize other vessels. ODST's are also experts in counter terrorism operations and guerrilla warfare. Expect to be dropped beyond enemy lines as a matter of course. Motto: We go feet first!

You also have vehicles to help protect the base, such as 2 warthogs and a Scorpion. Feel free to assign guards to them. You also have some command authority. as an E-7 Gunnery Sergeant, you outrank most UNSC personnel barring Platoon Leaders, Ship XOs and COs and ODSTs above this rank (Master Sergeant and all officers). Whilst you can order them around, it is best to leave them to their own missions if they have some. Do Note, those above can order you, but you don't have to follow their orders. Help where possible, but listen to the Researchers and Research Director above all else. There is also a onsite Nuke. Do not rely on it to function 100% of the time. The Nuke is for self detonation in case of a breech that overruns the facility. Arming it and getting behind adequate cover is necessary. Do not mess this call up. You are responsible for any mess ups.
ONI Security	Description: ONI Security are a special NAVSPECWAR unit meant for protecting the scientists and the research they have. They use heavier but more protecting armor than Marines, due to their more defensive nature. They are the first responders to a situation involving the research base. Difficulty: Low Playstyle: ONI Security can be boring, but when it kicks up you have to know what you are doing. Unlike Marines, you are strictly to defend the covert operations below ground. Protocol 1 is to immediately demand for the targets to lay down. However if weapons are out, KOS can be enacted, unlike Marines who can only be fired upon. You are also E-4 Corporals. If need be, you can make orders for soldiers to carry out. However, this is ill advised if they are doing their own tasks. Most work would be manning the gate confetti maker, and the sublevel check point. Any others can guard towers. MA5Bs are fine for surface work, but sublevel 1 can call for M7s and M45s. Do take a M6D and holster it to finish off any hostiles beaten. DO NOT SNOOP AROUND THE RND BASE! YOU ARE NOT A SCIENTIST! SUBLEVEL 2 IS OFF LIMITS UNLESS WITH A RESEARCHER AND SUBLEVEL 1 DOESN'T NEED UNNECESSARY PATROLMEN! LISTEN TO YOUR SQUAD LEADER!
