USAF's Demise (Come shoot at us!)

So we've established that the United Systems as it stands, is not fun to RP with! Instead of retconning so much crap, we plan to play out our escape from the faction. Essentially, the USCM is kill.
Here's how we plan(subject to change, suggestions encouraged!) for this event to go down. Central Command discovers that ODA 7114 has been recruiting xenos, and even have an avian Marine. This does not sit well with them, we're playing to the good ol' racism card here.
United Systems Central Command sends a team of operators out to Hammer Point to capture the Humans, and kill the xenos. After a warning by one of the xenos in the USIF, a throwaway character, over the intercoms, the Marines and IF begin their escape. They do not manage to stay ahead of the operators for long, but UPC joins in, helping the soldiers get away while they fight the operators. They call down a shuttle, which is defended by UPC ships until they're destroyed, allowing the soldiers a brief window to escape.
Anyone who is interested in participating in this event is welcome to do so, whether they decide to take the position of an operator or a throwaway USIF infantryman/UPC officer. Emphasis on throwaway, though they won't be flat footed Storm troopers who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. There won't be any time to grab their gear, so no power armour or high tech no-scope headshot pistols. It's also planned for both sides to take some casualties, so don't be afraid to take a bullet! Orrrr several. On that note I also ask that you please don't religiously target mains, it's understandable that they are targets too and they can take injuries, but don't centre them out for no good reason.
Gear and all necessary information can be provided here or in a PM. Don't hesitate to message me!

 

View attachment 2145 CENTCOM Operators - The role of the operators is more or less to seize every element ODA 7114 possesses. They're also ordered to capture all personnel alive if possible, that isn't going to play out though. Operators will be equipped with standard issue pulse rifles and are wearing the Onyx battlesuit. The closest modern day equivalent would probably be MARSOC CSOs, refer to them for a general idea of what you'd be roleplaying as. We will be having one of our own play the commanding officer of these operators to better coordinate them IC and OOC. HAVE to be humans, beards are mandatory.
View attachment 2150 USIF Infantrymen - The role of the infantrymen is to get the hell out of Hammer Point and escape Union. They will likely be carrying military grade ballistic vests(shown on the left, it does carry rifle plates), a holstered service pistol, and possibly a slung pulse rifle/shotgun. These guys are like redshirts, they aren't totally guaranteed to die but there's a decent chance they will. The infantrymen will be spread out around Hammer Point and are one of the main objectives for the operators, captured alive if possible, terminated if necessary. Can be any race!
View attachment 2151 UPC Officer - The unfortunate role of the UPC officer is to die, they'll be the ones making a valiant sacrifice so that our jarheads can escape. UPC officers will be carrying a 12 gauge "Equalizer" shotgun(utilizing 1 oz. slugs), M-1 Mancatcher, and a modernized UPC 686 Revolver. They wear a light durasteel helmet and basic Kevlar coverings on their chest, shoulders, and knees. Leschinsky in particular will be coordinating the UPC players OOC and IC. Can also be any race!

Assuming a majority of these posts are an expression of interest I'm going to add that stuff on here will be receiving regular updates as I work on it. Could everyone who's interested in participating update their posts with a desired role and what times they'll be available in the future? Additionally! Posting your steam usernames would be fantastic, so I can contact you and vice versa. Or just add me, I'm CouchPotato360, you can also find me in other people's friend lists if you're lazy or something.

Yes, all of everything you guys will be using is going to be provided.
