NanoTrasen Special Forces

NanoTrasen Special Forces, or NTSF, are an elite arm of NanoTrasen's corporate military. While the NTNC acts as more of a standing army and navy, manning NanoTrasen's outposts are ships, the NTSF act as their 'navy seals'. NTSF is divided into ten Task Forces, each with their own areas of expertise. This specialization combines the benefits of the hyper-specialized Emergency Response Teams that Central Command deploys, and the general applicability of the NTNC, to create a flexible standing force that has proven itself to be very effective.

NTSF Task Forces

The NTSF is broken up into nine Task Forces, each with their own areas of expertise. The size of these Task Forces is unknown to the public, but they are generally deployed in smaller squads of around 6.

Primus ( I / One )

The generalists, with versatile applicability. Commonly used to guard people. or as general response for a situation that isn't quite anyone else's problem. Means they are very experienced.

Secundus ( II / Two )

Disaster response and rapid deployment. If a previous team, either ERT or NTSF, has failed then Secundus comes in second. Tend to only see deployment in really bad situations because of this. Main use case is likely very slow Nukies, to force round end.

Tertius ( III / Three )

Asset recovery. Sent if any NT, NTNC, ERT, or CC personnel or materials are lost or captured. Recovery of hostages, stolen hardsuits, stolen ID cards, etc. Could be deployed to recover AI's on lost stations also.

Quartus ( IV / Four )

Defensive unit, primarily mans NT's few remaining non-CC bases in the sector. Also tasked with guarding supply lines, and may escort high value shipments.

Quintus ( V / Five )

Offensive unit, known for fighting on the fringe of NT/TSF territory, often allying with and integrating local forces into their effort. Adopted the nickname War Elephants and use it as an unofficial symbol. Primarily used for heavy assaults or raids, such as on Nuclear Outposts etc.

Sextus ( VI / Six )

Occult relations. They have dealings with different religions, cults, and allegedly magical groups, and specialize in handling them- diplomatically or otherwise. They have a long standing love-hate relationship with the Wizard Federation, but uniquely despite this are one of the few groups the normally secretive Wizards will work with. Hypothetically in charge of killing gods.

Septimus ( VII / Seven )

Nicknamed Animal Control, they cut their teeth on the front lines alongside NTNC and TSMC Marines fighting alien threats like the Xenos. Deployed against Zombies, Blobs, Xenos, etc whenever CBURN or ERT have already failed.

Octavus ( VIII / Eight )

Anti-insurgency task force that supports governments that NT and the TSF want to keep around. Fights insurgencies, rebellions, and sometimes unions. Could be used as a response against a Revolution in theory, if somehow ERT was defeated and round didn't auto-end. May also be deployed as a non-Epsilon response to 1-2 departments rebelling against CC/NT, without having to wipe the entire station.

Nonus ( IX / Nine )

Infiltration and assassination of high value targets. They go in fast, murder or capture their target, and get out with minimal or zero collateral damage. Unlike Decimus.

Decimus ( X / Ten )

Officially Decimus does not exist. A handful of NTSF Hardsuits got into the hands of pirates, who modified them and use them to commit atrocities. The fact that these atrocities only seem to happen to people NT has issues with is conjecture and coincidence, and is not proof of any association. Used exclusively for Code Epsilon. Never deploy. Ever.
