The Maverick Wars have ended, but the steady rise in Reploids going Maverick has provoked serious concern among the weakened Maverick Hunters. As former Hunter and top viral researcher Dr. Doppler works to determine the parameters of the "Maverick virus," the third-generation Reploids have been beset by several disappearances. In this pivotal time of crisis, humanity looks to the work of Doppler and the Hunters to contain, combat and cure the Maverick menace! You are Zero, the Red Reploid, commander of the 0th Shinobi unit coordinating with X and the 17th. Your duty: search and destroy. Direct and deploy Maverick Hunter forces, capture vital locations, defend humanity and destroy the Maverick threat! ==Forces== ===0th Shinobi Unit=== '''Commander:''' Zero<br> '''Function:''' High-Priority Combat<br> The 0th Shinobi Unit is a special reserve force dedicated to handling top-priority assignments with a short duration or deadline and near-unlimited license for collateral damage. Your personal team, these are among the Hunters' best and should be spread to cover multiple targets. ===1st Advance Unit=== '''Commander:''' Striker Cobra<br> '''Function:''' Primary Engagement<br> The 1st Advance Unit is dispatched to open theaters of battle and pave the way for heavy reinforcement via blitzkrieg rushes. Direct Cobra's unit to areas already under Maverick control where precision assault is not yet ready. ===2nd Reconnaissance=== '''Commander:''' Longshot Koala<br> '''Function:''' Scouting<br> The 2nd Reconnaissance handles the dangerous task of expeditionary research in the field, identifying and analyzing Mavericks and gathering data for tactical use. Koala's team handles many of its duties autonomously but should be directed to ID unknown threats as soon as they appear. ===3rd Deploy Corps=== '''Commander:''' Rig Wanna<br> '''Function:''' Mechaniloid Assembly and Deployment<br> The 3rd Deploy Corps has the special duty of bringing heavy artillery and equipment into combat zones and making it ready-for-use. Wanna's team has developed new Mechaniloids to allocate to other units, but the loss of the Armored Division has taxed their resources heavily. Direct them with caution and only to advanced theaters of battle - Hunter Command values this team highly. ===4th Overland Unit=== '''Commander:''' Tanker Tigershark<br> '''Function:''' Ground-Based Assault<br> The 4th Overland Unit is a dedicated ground force capable of quickly mobilizing heavy infantry and artillery, often in tandem with the Deploy Corps. Tigershark heads one of the largest units in the Maverick Hunters and maintains dedicated subunits for special terrain. Direct them to ground-based targets with heavy enemy infantry presence. ===5th Communications=== '''Commander:''' Modem<br> '''Function:''' Information & Navigation<br> The 5th Communications networks with other divisions to coordinate Hunter activity and relay vital intel. Division chief Modem has a top-flight team of Navigators working with units in the field, though for some inexplicable reason (likely related to conservation of resources) many Hunters have opted to work without a Navigator. ===6th Marine Armada=== '''Commander:''' Berg Celion<br> '''Function:''' Coastal, Nautical & Submarine Operations<br> The 6th Marine Armada specializes in all forms of water deployment, whether as coast guards or deep within the ocean. Under Berg Celion, several subdivisions have been marshaled specializing in particular marine zones and water routes. Direct these subunits properly to cover all aquatic attack zones. ===7th Air Cavalry=== '''Commander:''' Flash Flaminglow<br> '''Function:''' Aerial Combat & Clearance<br> The 7th Air Cavalry operates Hunter aviation and aerial superiority missions. Flash Flaminglow, one of the best-rated new third-generation Reploids and a stellar Hunter, directs the 7th's operations. Dispatch them against high concentrations of Maverick air forces and to breach artillery lines. ===8th Armored Battalion=== '''Commander:''' None<br> '''Function:''' Hazardous Area Engagement & Support<br> The 8th Armored Battalion was crippled during the Maverick Wars and totally destroyed during a recent attack by unknown parties, which saw an important shipment of new equipment stolen. It formerly supported other Hunter units with Ride Armor and heavy defensive Reploids that could divert and absorb Maverick fire. Hunter Command is working to relaunch the 8th with a new team. ===9th Special Forces (Ranger)=== '''Commander:''' Shock Scorpion<br> '''Function:''' Guerrilla Assault & Stealth Combat<br> The 9th Special Forces operates in conditions requiring special tactics. Unlike their fellows in the 10th Special Forces, the 9th specializes in environmental strategy, combining stealth with guerrilla tactics to locate and take out targets quickly. Scorpion's team should be dispatched to high-risk areas where overt assault would be too costly but stealth would succeed. ===10th Special Forces (Civic)=== '''Commander:''' None<br> '''Function:''' Urban Engagement & Zero-Collateral Combat<br> The 10th Special Forces was totally wiped out in the Maverick Wars, losing several members to Sigma's rebellion and the rest in heroic defense of major cities worldwide. The 10th, much like the 9th, operated in conditions requiring special tactics; however, rather than requiring stealth, the 10th worked in populated area of high-priority infrastructure and as such had reduction of collateral damage from battle as its highest mandate. Hunter Command is working to relaunch the Special Forces with a new team. ===11th Space Command=== '''Commander:''' Astro Cygnus<br> '''Function:''' Satellite Supervision & Aerospace Defense<br> The 11th Space Command has been vigorous in its defense of orbital space against Maverick tactics. Working autonomously to intervene in any Maverick space launches and support the Air Cavalry, Cygnus' division works best when left to its own devices. ===12th Tropical Region Unit=== '''Commander:''' Smash Durianer<br> '''Function:''' Tropical Operations & Response<br> The 12th Tropical Region Unit is deployed to equatorial sites, optimized for performance in the high-humidity environment. Coordinating frequently with the 9th Special Forces, Durianer's team is spread around the globe and can provide response and support anywhere in its territory with surprising alacrity. They will provide such support automatically by coordinating with Hunter HQ. ===13th Polar Region Unit=== '''Commander:''' Huski Lumberfell<br> '''Function:''' Polar Operations & Response<br> The 13th Polar Region Unit is divided between two main sites, monitoring the poles and optimized for performance in extremely cold environments. Lumberfell's unit has these points well-covered and needs no directive. ===14th Grapple Combat Unit=== '''Commander:''' Boom Foxflash<br> '''Function:''' Close Combat & High-Risk Approach<br> The 14th Grapple Combat Unit specializes in high-risk takedowns of major targets, closing in in small numbers and engaging directly, with or without external support. Shiva's unit is a tremendous asset and should be conserved for major and targeted offensives and line breaks. ===15th Artillery Command=== '''Commander:''' Accel Orca<br> '''Function:''' Bombardment & Destruction<br> The 15th Artillery Command works in tandem with the 3rd Deploy Corps to bring powerful weaponry and large war Mechaniloids to the battlefield. This division has taken heavy fire from Maverick forces and has been understaffed of late. Direct them to fortified areas or zones with heavy Maverick activity and major war machine deployment. ===16th Research & Development=== '''Commander:''' Beams Nautiller<br> '''Function:''' Reploid Research & Development<br> The 16th Research & Development works out of Hunter HQ and other sites, developing Reploids specifically geared to Hunter needs, as well as advanced weaponry and Mechaniloids that are put to use in the war effort. With a new team of bright young researchers, R&D is a high-priority division that works tirelessly to counter the Maverick threat. ===17th Elite Unit=== '''Commander:''' X<br> '''Function:''' Command & Emergency Response<br> The 17th Elite Unit is the personal unit of X. Under his direction, they serve as emergency responders to Maverick outbreaks and handle some of the most dangerous Mavericks: traitors to the Hunters. This is primarily X's unit and can generally be left to their own devices, but coordinate with them on important missions. ==Missing Reploids== '''Warhead Wisent'''<br> '''Swarm Oyster'''<br> '''Shieldspin Shroom'''<br> '''Solaron Skink'''<br> '''Hothead Hedger'''<br> '''Aegis Garm'''<br> ==The Mavericks== ===Brama=== '''WARNING: G-CLASS TARGET'''<br> Dr. Brama, aka "Professor" Brama or "Minister" Brama, is a high-profile defector from the latest generation of supposedly virusproof "champion" grade command Reploids, handcrafted as part of Dr. Doppler's Philosopher project with the aid of the 16th R&D's Gate Team. Brama has been leading and coordinating Maverick production activities since his defection and has made public appearances attempting to spread the Maverick cause. As a top-grade Reploid armed with the latest technology, Brama is considered extremely dangerous and is a Priority One target. ===Bisanu=== '''WARNING: G-CLASS TARGET'''<br> Dr. Bisanu, aka "Professor" Bisanu or "Minister" Bisanu, is a Maverick from Dr. Doppler's Philosopher project loaded with advanced systems. Bisanu has been repairing, rebuilding and assembling armies from disorganized Mavericks since his defection and has made public appearances attempting to spread the Maverick cause. As a top-grade Reploid armed with the latest technology, Bisanu is considered extremely dangerous and is a Priority One target. ===Shiva=== '''WARNING: G-CLASS TARGET'''<br> Dr. Shiva, aka "Professor" Shiva or "Minister" Shiva, is the third Philosopher Reploid, the last produced, who has also recently gone Maverick. Developed as a weapons researcher, Shiva now leads and coordinates the most devastating Maverick attacks with new and highly destructive weaponry and has made public appearances attempting to spread the Maverick cause. As a top-grade Reploid armed with the latest technology, Shiva is considered extremely dangerous and is a Priority One target. ==Officers== These are the officers who can be directed on various missions.
