United Nations Space Command Navy Special Warfare Branch:

Roles	Description

One of the primary special operations forces of the United Nations Space Command, the ODST's are under the administrative and operational control of Naval Special Weapons(NAVSPECWEP). Difficulty: Medium/Hard Playstyle: As an ODST you are assigned to the UNSC Naval asset in system. ODST's deploy when the situation is deemed to be beyond the capabilities of the marine detachment to contain. ODST's work in fireteams and do not deploy unless ordered by their commanding officer or any other competent command authority. ODST's utilize specialized weapons and equipment for this purpose. 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! NOTE: THE ODST ARE CURRENTLY WHITELISTED. YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE ROLE ON THE FORUMS.
ONI Security Squad Leader Close	Description: ONI Security are a unit devoted to the protection of highly classified ONI research bases. Drawn from the Marines and Army, they are outfitted with heavier Marine army with more protection. Squad leaders in ONI act as the on site CO, as all ONI Security personnel share the same rank. Squad leaders make sure the security doesn't slack. Difficulty: Medium/Low Playstyle: You don't sit in checkpoints when other Sec agents are available. You can order around any rank lesser than yours and officers can order you about. However, you are NAVSPECWARCOM, so Naval Captains shouldn't be distracting you from the job (ODSTs are SPECWAR, thought). Be wary. Your only form of secure communication to other soldiers is through the shipcom (:s) so chatter and reactions from other personnel is quite possible. Just patrol and make sure everyone is safe. Encourage the use of MA5Bs and M6Ds for surface operations, but M7s or M90s for below level. While you have access to an armory full of every weapon, you have limited access to them and the danger can be elevated if Insurrection get their hands on a BR55 or M395. That is your call to make. 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 tbe 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 Close	Description: ONI Security are a special NAVSPECWARCOM unit meant for protecting the scientists and the research they have. They use heavier but more protecting armor than Marines and have access to better equipped vehicles and weaponry to defend their stations. They are the first responders to a situation. 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-7 Gunnery Sergeants. 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 M90s. 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!
