Military Powers

This section will feature a guide to important military organisations of the 23rd century. Upcoming subsections will include:

The United Earth Armed Forces (UEAF):

The military arm of the United Earth Federation, tasked with defending Earth and the Federal Colonies against any and all outside aggressors. The UEAF is split into two distinct branchs: SpaceCorps and PlanetCorps. SpaceCorps is the branch of the UEAF that incorporates naval fleet units, marine corps and other associated ancillary organisations. The PlanetCorps consists of infantry, armour and other ground-based military units.

• AmeriCorps:
  Units of the UEAF PlanetCorps supplied by the United Americas and its colony worlds.
• AsiaCorps:
  Units of the UEAF PlanetCorps supplied by the Russia Republic and its colony worlds, as well as several other Eurasian states.
• ChinaCorps:
  Units of the UEAF PlanetCorps supplied by the Chinese Consortium and its colony worlds.
• EuroCorps:
  Units of the UEAF PlanetCorps supplied by Europe and its colony worlds.
• JapanCorps:
  Units of the UEAF PlanetCorps supplied by the Japanese Affiliates and their colony worlds.
• The United Earth Federation Expeditionary Force (UEFEF):
  The taskforce assembled by the UEF from the PlanetCorps at the start of the colonial wars to mount the campaign to stop colonial sedition in the Outer Rim Territories. The campaign met with limited success. Three years of war resulted in two firmly established separatist pockets of space, independent from Earth rule. The UEFEF presence in the Outer Rim Territories was scaled back after the end of hostilities, but several bases are maintained close to borders with separatist controlled space, as part of a so far unsuccessful military and economic blockade.
• MarsCorps:
  Units of the UEAF assigned to the defence of the Mars colony.
• United Earth Space Command (UESC)
  The United Earth Federation space navy. There are at present twelve 'fleets' in the UESC, as well as a multitude of other auxillary support groups. The 1st Fleet is nominally assigned to the defence of the Sol System.
• Interstellar Colonial Marine Corps (ICM):
  The Federation's interstellar rapid reaction force, the ICM deal with colonial disputes, piracy, civil unrest and just about every other problem that occurs in the colonies requiring the possible exercising of brute force. The ICM incorporates units specially trained for vacuum operations, shipboard combat and planetary assault.
• The Sol Defence Fleet:
  Collective name for space vessels of the UEAF assigned to defend Sol system against aggressors.
• Military Sciences Commando Division:
  Black Ops unit attached to the Federal Government's shadowy Military Sciences Division.
• The Psychic Operations Group (POG):
  Branch of the UEAF recruited directly from the Metasensory Academy. Also referred to as PsiCorps. POG is mostly an organisational structure, as operatives are usually assigned to other line units as needed. The Psychic Operations Group is headquartered at Fort Alexander, Hecates Tholus, Mars.
• UEAF Special Operations Group Command (SOGC):
  SOGC is essentially the special forces of the UEAF. SOGC is responsible for 13 Special Operations Groups (SOGs). Each SOG is small and self-contained, and size varies between groups. The most famous (and largest at company strength) unit is the 3rd SOG, that saw action on the Rimworlds Front during the Colonial Wars.

Other Military Organisations outside of the UEAF:

• The People's Commando Division:
  Special Forces unit from the Eurasian Rimworlds Combine.
• The People's Revolutionary Army:
  Terrorist Group operating in the Outer Rim Territories. Thought to be financed by the Eurasian Rimworlds Combine.
• S.A.S. plc:
  Privatised military unit from the European Union state Britain.
• The Foreign Legion:
  Privatised military unit from the European Union state France.
• Corporate Armies:
  An overview of the private armies maintained by the megacorporations of the 23rd century.
