'''For service meritorious and characteristic'''<br>
 +
Typically awarded concurrent with the etching of the same symbol into a Reploid's armor, the Wreath of Europa represents recognition of a career full of achievements and outstanding service. It is awarded via nomination from a unit commander to the Maverick Hunter Commander and typically only given out to unit commanders and SA-rank personnel.
 +
 +
==HRH Elizabeth III Medal of Distinction==
 +
'''For service meritorious and exceptional'''<br>
 +
Considered a "precursor" award to the above, and almost never awarded except concurrent with one of the awards below, the "Liz 3" is given based on exceptional performance as well as a generally acclaimed career.
 +
 +
==Oceanic Wreath==
 +
'''For service meritorious and unwavering in or in cooperation with ANSEO programs and efforts.'''<br>
 +
Typically awarded concurrent with the etching of the same symbol into a Reploid's armor, the Oceanic Wreath represents recognition of a career of outstanding service with noteworthy involvement in ANSEO operations (including joint operations). It is awarded via nomination from an ANSEO unit commander or equivalent national military officer to the Maverick Hunter Commander and typically only given out to officers and A-rank personnel.
 +
 +
==Branch Commendation Medal==
 +
'''For a demonstrated record of commendable service'''<br>
 +
Awarded by branch with a joint award also available, this is a distinction that does not recognize any one particular deed and is typically awarded after a three-month waiting period from the distinction prior, in order to evaluate service record and ongoing performance.
 +
 +
==Lunar Wreath & Constellation==
 +
'''For expeditionary service meritorious and commendable service ordinary'''<br>
 +
Typically awarded concurrent with the etching of the same symbol into a Reploid's armor, the Lunar Wreath is bestowed to recognize distinguished service in an expeditionary operation consistent with a career of commendable service. It is never awarded to a recipient who does not already hold a lesser honor (though they can be awarded concurrently). The constellation marker is intended to represent "distant or foreign skies" and correlates with the date and location of the operation; multiple constellations can be awarded for further expeditionary missions, to be listed as "Lunar Wreath & # Constellations" in a reading of honors.
 +
 +
==Branch Achievement Medal==
 +
'''For notable achievement in the line of duty'''<br>
 +
Awarded by branch with a joint award also available, this is a distinction awarded for any particular act considered a notable achievement while engaged in active service and germane to said service. Sometimes considered the medal of resenters, as it has been awarded in place of higher honors to officers whose acts were considered "in the line of duty" as opposed to exceptional.
 +
 +
==Service Medal==
 +
'''For heroism outside of combat'''<br>
 +
An honor also presented to civilians, the Service Medal recognizes acts of heroism carried out outside the scope of a combat engagement. It is one of the more recognizable honors available.

==Golden Saltire==
 +
'''For combat distinction above and beyond the line of duty in an engagement with a dangerous and aware foe in a situation of direct threat to multiple lives'''<br>
 +
The highest combat recognition award, given to those who exceed their ranking by retiring or neutralizing a sentient opponent deemed to be of high threat class. Not awarded for threat classes below A. Engagement against a Mechaniloid does not qualify.
 +
 +
==Silver Saltire==
 +
'''For combat distinction in an engagement with a dangerous foe in a situation of direct threat to life'''<br>
 +
Lesser counterpart to the Golden Saltire, given to those who exceed assessed situational parameters to neutralize an opponent deemed to be of high threat class in a manner considered exemplary. Not awarded for threat classes below B. Rarely awarded to Reploids.
 +
 +
==Copper Saltire==
 +
'''For combat distinction in an engagement with a dangerous foe in a situation warranting arms'''<br>
 +
Lesser counterpart to the Golden and Silver Saltires, given to those who exceed assessed situational parameters to repel, detain, disarm or neutralize an opponent deemed to be of sufficient threat class as to warrant combat engagement. Awarded in situations considered not threatening to life. Rarely awarded to officers.
 +
 +
==Cmdr. Alpha Bar Trefoil & Iridium Valknut==
 +
'''For honorable discharge following a record of commendable service'''<br>
 +
The official presentation record politely and obliquely steps over the actual requisite for presentation; this award is given to those who go Maverick through software defects and are removed from service without incident.
 +
 +
==White Tassel==
 +
'''For sustaining irreconcilable personal injury in the line of duty'''<br>
 +
Another relatively common award.
 +
 +

 +
==Cmdr. Thomas Wong Bar Trefoil==
 +
'''For upholding the honor, integrity and character of the Maverick Hunters'''<br>
 +
The "PR" award, given out to those who serve as "poster boys" for the Hunters or have otherwise managed to capture the public's attention without embarrassing the Hunters. A rare award, and not a particularly prestigious one internally.
 +
 +
=Humans=
 +
==Ricardo Matthews==
 +
'''Position:''' Corporal, Maverick Hunters 17th Elite Division<br>
 +
'''Rank:''' B<br>
 +
 +
Skipped officer training and remained in his position as an NCO with the 17th. Volatile. Near-Ace.
 +
 +
=Technologies=
 +
==Busters==
 +
Buster technology is very simple in concept: a plasma charge is shaped inside of a compression field such that its own electromagnetic field enters a stable configuration. This efficient process yields a highly effective payload that is difficult for many defensive systems to effectively diffuse. A buster shot is not a true plasma weapon, for its real strength is in the thermally-mediated electromagnetic shear that occurs on contact.<br>
 +
 +
Some busters are configured to yield a higher thermal output or greater penetration of defenses. The most famous buster configuration, however, is the charge: an intense overcompression of a larger plasma field that, when released, undergoes violent explosive decompression, propelling a deadly and self-sustaining payload at lethal velocities.<br>
 +
 +
The most prominent manufacturer of blaster weaponry and the trendsetter in blaster standards is Prosser Corporation. Their flagship product, the P-series integrated buster and buster rifle (portable armament), remains the mainstay of the Maverick Hunters.<br>
 +
 +
'''P100 Series'''<br>
 +
P100 Buster: The most basic model of buster, a nonmodular integrated forearm buster unit with a low cycle rate. Civilian Reploids can pick these up for personal installation. The P100 has an inferior payload designed to reduce collateral damage rather than deliver a strong punch. It has no features.<br>
 +
P110 Modular Arm Buster: The most popular basic model, this buster can revert to a functional hand and forearm when not in active use. Transition time is about 18 seconds.<br>
 +
P119 Modular Configuration Buster: A design sold as a supplemental sidearm for Reploids with a primary armament, this buster is a modular configuration of an existing arm-mount weapon. It does not have a hand mode.<br>
 +
P160 Anticollateral Buster: A favorite of civilian Reploid law enforcement and the Maverick Hunter 10th Unit, this buster is primed to have a payload compatible with conventional CHAT and R/UFF standards, diffusing harmlessly on collateral impact.
 +
 +
'''P200 Series'''<br>
 +
 +
==Construction Technology==
 +
'''CHAT'''<br>
 +
Construction Hazard Ablation Treatment refers to any number of chemical, mechanical, materials and electrical methods used to reinforce structures against the devastating impact of a Maverick attack or other serious event. Some CHAT protocols are highly individual countermeasures, while others are combination products intended to package numerous protections in one.<br>
 +
 +
'''R/UFF'''<br>
 +
Pronounced "rough," Risk/Usual Factor Fortification is an internal set of construction and architectural protocols sold as a product by many vendors. R/UFF measures protect against common or predictable external hazards, including but not limited to serious thermal stress, kinetic attack and high radiation.<br>
 +
 +
==Materials==
 +
'''ConTeR TPE'''<br>
 +
The go-to for endoconstructed "skin," Conducting Tear-Resistant Thermoplastic Elastomers provide a humanlike skin quality and are capable of self-healing with efficiency above 97%.
 +
 +
'''TeGra'''<br>
 +
TeGra, or tessellated graphene, is the do-all material behind much of Reploid science, especially in electrical engineering.

==Amenhopper==
 +
'''Chassis:''' Arachnoid<br>
 +
'''Developer:''' Association of Marine Ecologists of Nicaragua<br>
 +
'''Class:''' E<br>
 +
'''Release:''' Commercial and industrial<br>
 +
'''Service:''' Maverick Hunters 1st Advance Unit, 2nd Reconnaissance, 6th Marine Unit, 9th Special Forces, 12th Tropical Region Unit<br>
 +
'''Function:''' Surfactant analysis and catalytic water purification<br>
 +
 +
A water skitter robot developed by AMEN (''AEMN'') to evaluate and correct chemical contamination of waterways, the efficient and mobile Amenhopper units have found service with the Maverick Hunters due to their adaptable design. Their catalytic cartridges can be replaced with cable extenders, bombs or mines for military purposes, and through their surfactant readings Amenhopper units can provide valuable reconnaissance by reading the presence of effluents and other contaminants.
 +
 +
==Ball de Voux==
 +
'''Chassis:''' Bipod<br>
 +
'''Developer:''' Voux Logistic<br>
 +
'''Class:''' D<br>
 +
'''Release:''' Military<br>
 +
'''Service:''' Maverick Hunters 1st Advance Unit, 2nd Reconnaissance, 7th Air Cavalry, 10th Special Forces, 17th Elite Unit<br>
 +
'''Function:''' Mobile observation and surveying<br>
 +
 +
A surveying Mechaniloid, the Ball de Voux (nicknamed "Deerball" due to its spindly legs) is a very basic platform that can be compacted through leg retraction for ease of transport, deployment and storage. In coordination with the 7th Air Cavalry, the Ball de Voux has seen successful aerial deployment on scouting runs and provides high-grade information feeds. Maverick seizure of Ball de Voux units has seen them upgraded to serve as mindless trampling scout platforms, and their ease of manufacture makes them cheap and surprisingly damaging nuisances when dropped into roadways and other small-scale civilian infrastructure.

'''Developer:''' Doppler Neurorobotics<br>
 +
'''Class:''' B<br>
 +
'''Release:''' Limited military<br>
 +
'''Service:''' Maverick Hunters 1st Advance Unit, 4th Overland Unit, 15th Artillery Unit, 17th Elite Unit
 +
'''Function:''' Variable combat superiority<br>
 +
 +
A powerful new combat Mechaniloid developed by Dr. Doppler, the Victoroid is a limited model with an advanced neural structure far superior to that of most Mechaniloids. Costly to produce, Victoroids are deployed only with great care due to their rarity and value as combat superiority platforms. Their few uses thus far have been to great effect and it is hoped that Dr. Doppler will use the data from current Victoroid deployments to bring a full production order to fruition.

==10-Plate==
 +
'''Body Type:''' Simple Humanoid<br>
 +
'''Generation:''' 1st<br>
 +
'''Class:''' D<br>
 +
'''Role:''' Mechanical Engineer, Maverick Hunters 1st Advance Unit, 3rd Deploy Corps, 8th Armored Division, 15th Artillery, 16th Research & Development<br>
 +
'''Production Model'''
 +
 +
Designed to deploy in combat situations for maximum flexibility and service, the 10-Plate production model proved an immediate success, going to work among multiple units and becoming the engineering standard in Hunter R&D. Working with the hostile environment assistant Mettall C-15 as aides, 10-Plates can operate well in most circumstances. Their major flaws are a lack of originality in design and a logic-bound prioritization of immediate function ahead of all other concerns. The so-called "Patchers" have been commended by the Lifesaver Corps for the invaluable recovery aid that their temporary measures have provided to injured Reploids. 10-Plates remain dedicated, goal-oriented, unambitious hard workers with the knowledge to get the job done well, and are valued in all areas of service.

==A-Cruise==
 +
'''Body Type:''' Simple Humanoid<br>
 +
'''Generation:''' 1st<br>
 +
'''Class:''' C<br>
 +
'''Role:''' Equipment repair and maintenance, heavy armor operation, Maverick Hunters 3rd Deploy Corps<br>
 +
'''Production Model'''<br>
 +
 +
The sturdy PMX series, colloquially called the A-Cruise, is one of the earliest production models still being manufactured today. Rolled out with them is a survival pack for armor crews facing a disabled or destroyed platform in the midst of hostile fire, known as the Bindle. It contains a supply of field repair equipment, a single-use emergency field recharger, a backup commlink, distress beacon, and an M330 Collapsible Buster Rifle, which has become almost the iconic sidearm of the PMX. A-Cruise are typically very insular or hesitant to speak; however, when left to their own devices they express themselves through the equipment they have been attached to, painting them in wild, diverse colorschemes.

==Axe Max==
 +
'''Body Type:''' Modified Humanoid<br>
 +
'''Generation:''' Test<br>
 +
'''Class:''' D<br>
 +
'''Role:''' Manual demolition and clearcutting<br>
 +
'''Production Model'''
 +
 +
One of the oldest production model Reploids, predating the 1st generation and visibly primitive by comparison, Axe Maxes use a booster "foot" to hover across terrain, planting it to anchor themselves before undertaking tasks such as woodcutting or controlled demolition. Capable of powerful rotational forces when so anchored, Axe Maxes remain in use in specific areas, typically supplemented with Mechaniloid help. Many have left industrial work to join the Axe League, a baseball league comprised entirely of Axe Max units. Reports indicate that a large number have also gone Maverick, which at the time was considered a defect of the test generation.

Line 19: Line 310:
A criminal-developed Reploid, data on Chaff Weasel was difficult to gather due to both his nature and his role in several criminal undertakings, which was largely relegated to physical systems interference using a spray of his Blackout Flares. Black box surveillance over several months in tandem with testimony from some of his captured colleagues has finally exposed Weasel, whose abilities without the support of his former team have been judged B-Class.

==Crankshaft==
Line 27: Line 327:
A highly-regarded officer in the 4th and one of the senior members of the transportation corps, Crankshaft is a Gomeister who distinguished himself during the first Maverick War with his aggressive sorties in rescue missions and his hijacking of a D-Rex from the Maverick Fortress in the final days of Sigma. Manic and restless, Crankshaft is constantly on the move, leading convoys, supervising test tracks and personally test-driving new vehicles. Crankshaft has a bad habit of using his vehicles as improvised weaponry, and the 10th has filed grievances against his operating anywhere near urban environments.

'''Role:''' Collateral Reduction & Mitigation, Maverick Hunters 10th Special Forces (Urban)<br>
 +
'''Production Model'''
 +
 +
The D-Tain design is oriented for non-violent support duties that may involve the detention of prisoners or the erection of barriers to prevent combat damage of civilian areas. The N60 Force Shield emitters they employ have a limited cross-section and employ their power supply best when used in tandem, so D-Tains operate best in concert.

==Emerald==
 +
'''Body Type:''' Simple Humanoid<br>

'''Generation:''' 2nd<br>
 +
'''Class:''' A<br>
 +
'''Role:''' Melee Skirmish Specialist & Quartermaster, Maverick Hunters 4th Overland Division<br>
 +
 +
Originally designed as a mass-produced, light infantry frame, Emerald is part of a three-unit commission to provide specialists for all combat environments. Crystal Labs was among the first to adopt the 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' reploid design theory, and so built these three to counteract one another. Emerald has found his production-model build both a hindrance and a help. Though lightly armored, his frame is resilient and surprisingly sturdy, built to endure field operating conditions without support. Despite his size, Emerald has proven to be an exceptional swordsman. He carries a number of beam sabers of various types, sizes, and outputs, ranging from his stock lo-beam dueling sabers to a heavy, high-powered beam flambard. Though upbeat, optimistic, and industrious, a note of some contention is his long-standing wish to receive S-rank status. Repeated appraisals have found that he simply lacks the defense for higher ranking, and he has thus far been unwilling to upgrade.

'''Role:''' Precision Bombardment Specialist, Maverick Hunters 15th Artillery Command
An absurdly heavyset Reploid girded with ammunition belts and a recognizable beard and cap, Kiloton is a tried-and-true soldier whose massive frame is just full of surprises. Concealed within his prodigious gut and rolls of fat are an assortment of missiles, bombs and mortars that would make many a tank commander envious.

An absurdly heavyset Reploid girded with ammunition belts and a recognizable beard and cap, Kiloton is a tried-and-true soldier whose massive frame is just full of surprises. Concealed within his prodigious gut and rolls of fat are an assortment of missiles, bombs and mortars that would make many a tank commander envious.

Grave and taciturn, the intimidating Schwarzhund is one of the top ace Hunters. Considered multiple times for duty in the 17th Elite Unit, Schwarzhund has always refused, his sterling loyalty to his fellows compelling him to remain in his current role. He has seen deployment on countless missions and thoroughly upgraded his capabilities to remain relevant during the 3rd generation of Reploid development. Armed with powerful explosive charges, boomeranging electric claws, wrist-mounted "Blackfire Busters," a diffuse swarming plasma shot system around his whole body (nicknamed the Pounce Buster or Pounce Laser by his fellows) and his famous force missile the Wild Pouncer, Schwarzhund is a top-grade combat officer with a vast array of tactical options and has been analyzed as potentially capable of matching even Commander Zero in a straight battle.

The sarcastic and often mean-spirited Seven is a special serviceman, part of an ambitious project to develop a support officer for high-risk, limited resource scenarios. Two unique systems were designed expressly for Seven: the Flux Configuration Control Pylon system, intended to optimize power output from energen cores for a yield six times greater than normal; and the Local Data Autonomic Feedback system, which taps Seven into all nearby systems and coordinates their output into a form of reflexive, subconscious "intuition." While the former system was never successfully stabilized and largely excised from Seven, the latter has given him his despised nickname "Lucky Seven." Though it makes him a dangerous combatant and extremely skilled coordinator and pilot, Seven frequently disables the LDAF when not engaged in a mission, as he despises the sudden interference of his uncontrollable reflexes. Seven has put in several times for a class upgrade, but without the FCCP in place to allow Seven's full combat potential to be realized, his low-power, high-skill assessment has raised him to (and kept him at) A-Class.

The current standard of practical mechanical engineers is humans working in teams with Toolcircuits, whose internal logic routines are ideal for their preferred profession. Though some TCs have branched out to other fields or into civilian work as plans for a 3rd-generation production model Reploid engineer advance, most remain perfectly satisfied with their current duties. Toolcircuits are reasonably creative, enjoy invention and prototyping and have a bit of a reputation for liking trial-and-error testing slightly too much. They get on well with their predecessor 10-Plate colleagues. Toolcircuits have integrated tool components and so tend to use less Mechaniloid support.

With Hunter activity in tandem with civilian enforcement keeping incidences of the "Maverick" programming error controllable, Hunter Command is unprepared for disaster to strike at its very heart. Commander Thomas Wong killed in an attack on Hunter HQ by Mavericks acting in concert, and in the resulting chaos more outbreaks spread. Many of these Mavericks are determined to be suffering from no programming errors and have simply coordinated this terrorist attack to strike out against humans. After attempts to reclaim several individuals result in further damage, retirement is made the default procedure for Hunter activity and a Reploid is put in charge of Hunter Command under the remote supervision of Dr. Cain and a council.

==History of Maverick Hunter Command==
 +
Two years prior to the founding of the Maverick Hunters, national governments already had in place Anti-Belligerent Coordinators, teams trained in containing and shutting down Mechaniloids whose programming, hardware or faulty instructions had led to a state called Belligerence. ABC staffing levels were at issue in the case of larger or more dangerous Belligerents, and so Reploid troops assigned to ABCs became a big help. Many Reploids found, however, that their human counterparts would treat them as being more expendable and little different from the Mechaniloids that they used as tools every day. In order to maintain staffing levels to deal with incidents and ensure that properly skilled Reploids would consider the career, laws were ratified that gave Reploids citizen protections and put them outside of the jurisdiction of ABCs.
 +
 +
When the first incidences of rogue behavior took place, they were considered issues for civilian law enforcement. A violent breach (which would today be classified as a B-Class threat) proved the police not up to the task in all cases, however, and governments began resorting to ABCs to deal with Reploids, despite international law. Faced with the prospect of future Belligerents proving more than ABCs could safely handle, a commander named Imanga Valdivieso headed a study into cases of Reploid Belligerence to determine an appropriate response. She outlined the basics of Maverick identification and made the case to the World Robotics Council that Reploids and Mechaniloids demonstrating rogue activity would both soon outpace the capacity of individual states to respond with their divided forces. Valdivieso's warnings were repudiated by research from Cain Labs indicating that Reploids needed more maturation cycles and had to be accommodated in their mental and social growth. The appearance less than a month later of what Cmdr. Valdivieso had predicted as an "A-Class" threat, resulting in the complete destruction of the town center of Vannes, France and the loss of over 31000 lives, provoked an immediate vote in the United Nations to create a cohesive international response force to regulate dangerous, high-threat Belligerents and respond to rogue Reploids under international law with the full force and investment of the UNSC.
 +
 +
At the zero year of Maverick Hunter Command, the charter was instituted with Commander Imanga Valdivieso serving as General Officer and central planner. Valdivieso, a lifelong anti-Reploid racist, nonetheless proved exceedingly effective in promoting a structure for the Maverick Hunters, basing the central command out of Geneva and mobilizing multiple specialized units in key areas around the globe. Under Commander Valdivieso, the Maverick Hunters consisted of the 1st and 2nd Advance, the 3rd, 4th and 8th Overland Divisions, the 5th and 7th Air Forces and the 6th Naval & Marine. In her final year, the first S-Class threat appeared and was caught by the 10th Overland, a newly-commissioned division. Valdivieso retired soon after, passing the torch to Commander Thomas Wong.
 +
 +
Under Commander Wong, the Hunters added new units while growing increasingly specialized. Wong shuffled up the diverse squadrons of his predecessor and reallocated officers to more cohesive but less electic and comprehensive units. He nixed plans for artillery divisions, converted the 2nd Advance to the 2nd Response, and concentrated the Air Forces into the 7th unit, leaving their communications towers and information network to be run by the remaining officers of the 5th. Wong added an 11th Unit (Science Corps) and, lobbied by special interests and governments, converted the 9th and 10th Overland Divisions into two collateral-friendly Special Forces divisions. Wong's PR-friendly style was brought shuddering into cold reality with the Eight Crisis, which saw a Hunter go rogue for the first time. His team brought an end to the crisis and ushered in an era of relative piece, during which many ABCs folded back into national military and civil law enforcement. In year seven, however, Mavericks working in tandem struck at Geneva and assassinated Commander Wong, with the resulting disarray and confusion spawning further Maverick activity.
 +
 +
In the wake of Wong's death, Cain Labs and the Greek Division began developing so-called "command level" Reploids who could endure attacks such as the one which claimed the former commander's life. The first new Commander, Alpha, set up the Shinobi Unit and converted the 2nd Response to the 2nd Reconaissance, shifting around officers who would form the kernels of the eventual Deploy Corps, Grapple Combat Unit and Armored Unit.
