==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.
