Task Force 876 / TF876

The hiring of mercenaries is a common practice in the history of armed conflict. The services and expertise offered by Task Force 876 are typically similar to those of governmental security, military or police forces, most often on a smaller scale. Task Force 876 provides armed and unarmed security services and expertise to private and public clients.

HISTORY

Task Force 876 is an global, Private Military Company, founded in 2900 by a couple of former UEE Marines to provide support and training to law enforcement and military organizations aswell as offer the private sector the ability to defend their cargo and lifes against the rising Vanduul threat, not to mention the pirates roaming the star systems.

Years of service in the United Earth Empire Army, Navy and/or Marines provided us with the knowledge to start training new recruits, who are undergoing several months of base training. Each mission is new expierenced to be gained.

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES PROVIDED:

• The prevention of unauthorized activity or entry
• Surveillance
• Traffic regulation
• Supervision
• Transport / Shipment
• Access control, and fire and theft prevention and detection.
• Fleet Support
• Search and Rescue

These services can be broadly described as the protection of personnel and/or assets.
Other security services such as roving patrol, bodyguard and guard services are also included.

Our group also consists of a few skilled Bounty Hunters, therefor we can also provide optional services, such as bounty hunting and prisoner transport.

TF876 BOUNTY HUNTERS

Both infamous and anonymous at the same time, Bounty Hunters are far more than mercenaries for hire, they’re heirs to a professional legacy, an ancient brotherhood with a glorious history. Tracking elusive targets across multiple star systems requires expertise, especially when the targets can be prominent, powerful, and often prepared for confrontation. Thrill seekers from all walks of life set out to become Bounty Hunters, but only the most hard-boiled survive in this competitive and deadly business.

Whether working for credits or principle, the Bounty Hunter pursues his targets with dogged determination and methodical precision. Bounty Hunters are renowned for their versatility on the battlefield and their ability to go toe-to-toe with force-users. Whoever they must face, however, the Bounty Hunter comes armed with the most-advanced weaponry on the black market, packing heavy firepower but always keeping a variety of tricks and gadgets ready to go.

The Bounty Hunter’s path lies along the edge, the stakes are always high, and the path only leads two places, to a life of infamous glory… or to a quick and ignominious death.

TF876 ODSTs

The TF876 Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are one of many Special Operations Forces in the galaxy. Their methods of operation allow them to conduct missions against targets that more conventional forces cannot approach undetected. Fearless ODSTs are recruited from all three services (UEE Marine Corps, Army, and Navy) and are a strictly all volunteer fighting force. Potential ODSTs are selected because of their performance in their chosen MOS (Military Occupational Specialty); every ODST candidate is a veteran from another Special Operations outfit and therefore has already gone through at least two layers of screening and months of intense training — not counting the years of training received before volunteering for the ODSTs. There are no age or gender restrictions — as long as the candidate meets the physical and mental requirements they are guaranteed the opportunity to try out for the ODSTs.

TF876 ODST units are not embedded within conventional UEE forces; they do however participate in joint operations, and tend to be force multipliers – increasing the effectiveness and morale of those they fight alongside. ODST combat teams usually consist of six to eight ODST Troopers – with each combat team specializing in a particular mission set, but they are expected to be flexible enough to adapt to any given situation.

The ODSTs perform highly specialized, small scale, high-risk operations including:

Deep Space/Ground Surveillance or Long Range Reconnaissance:
Patrols in small groups, in uniform, usually far behind the enemy lines. Groups engaging in surveillance deep behind enemy lines, are commonly known as “Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols” or LRRP’s.

Direct Action:
Short-duration strikes and other small-scale offensive actions conducted as a special operation in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments and which employ specialized military capabilities to seize, destroy, capture, exploit, recover, or damage designated targets. Direct action differs from conventional offensive actions in the level of physical and political risk, operational techniques, and the degree of discriminate and precise use of force to achieve specific objectives.

Unconventional Warfare:
Military and paramilitary operations, normally of long duration, predominantly conducted by indigenous or surrogate forces who are organized, trained, equipped, supported, and directed in varying degrees by an external source. It includes guerrilla warfare and other direct offensive, low visibility, covert, or clandestine operations, as well as the indirect activities of subversion, sabotage, intelligence gathering, escape and evasion.

Counter-Terrorism Operations:
The response to terrorist threats and/or acts, both real and imputed.

Counter-Contraband Operations:
Missions undertaking the recapturing of smuggled/stolen goods or hardware.

Personnel and Special Equipment Recovery/Capture:
The recovery/medical treatment of friendly personnel in combat environments, as well as the capability of capturing high valued individuals and any equipment.
