CS Naval Infantry OCC

CS Naval Infantry O.C.C.
The Naval Infantry or N.I. (also called Marines, although that is properly one of their M.O.S. choices) is the strong arm of the Coalition Navy. Whether it’s storming a D-bee port, rescuing CS merchantmen, defending naval bases, or providing security aboard CS Navy vessels, these hard cases are ready for whatever may happen. Their training is very similar to that of the grunt soldier. In fact, the main difference is the time spent teaching them how to swim and dive, as well as differently focused advanced training options. Their morale is as good as the average grunts, but they also have an elite feel to their normal service pride, namely because they are more selective than the normal army. This elite feeling converts into a pride that often erupts into fist fights in military bars when grunts and NI mix, as well as one-upmanship and friendly rivalries.

Still, pride and rivalries aside, these soldiers are as capable as any in the CS military, and are called upon for a variety of tasks. They serve with the same gusto and pride in their nation and their heritage.

Base S.D.C.: 4D6+15 S.D.C. Requirements: A high P.S. and a high P.E. are suggested, but not required. Anybody with the will to fight for humanity and physical attributes not less than 10 can be a Coalition Naval Infantryman. Maximum Player Rank: O-3 Captain

Also, choose one Military Occupational Specialty from the list below:

Armor Crew M.O.S.
It is not the illustrious Pilot’s Corps that pilot the tanks of the Infantry and Armor divisions, but simple grunts trained to maneuver these iron goliaths into battle in the intricate dance required of them by command. They can also act as gunners, and many of them start out in turrets on CS APC, Tanks and Robots. They are trained to be able to do basic maintenance on their charges, as well as simple battlefield repairs and modifications. They are also trained in the operation of these vehicles, if necessary. Naval Infantry trained in this MOS are either transfers from the army, or cross trained marines. Automotive Mechanics (+25%) Combat Driving Field Armorer and Munitions Expert (+20%) Pilot Power Armor and Robots Pilot Tanks & APCs (+25%) Pilot Trucks (+15%) Robot Combat (Basic) Vehicle Armorer (+5%) WP Heavy MD Weapons Bonuses : Armor Crew also get Weapon Systems and Read Sensory Equipment at (+15%) instead of (+10%).

Brown Water Patrol Crew M.O.S.
Much like the armor crews of the Army, the Brown Water Patrol Crews are trained in the operation and defense of the patrol boats and other armored watercraft. They can also manage minor repairs while in the field. They can also act as gunners, and many of them start out in turrets on CS patrol boats, tanks and Robots. Requirements : I.Q. 10 Automotive Mechanics (+25%) Field Armorer and Munitions Expert (+20%) Naval Combat Piloting Pilot Water Scooters (+15%) Pilot Warships and Patrol Boats (+25%) Robot Combat (Basic) Vehicle Armorer (+5%) WP Heavy MD Weapons Bonuses : Brown Water Patrol Crew also get Weapon Systems and Read Sensory Equipment at (+15%) instead of (+10%). Rank: All Brown Water Patrol Crewmen start out at E-2.

Communication Specialist M.O.S.
There are not enough Communications Engineers in the navy to cover the basic needs of coordinating an army the size of the Coalition’s. These highly, though narrowly, trained marines are the heart of the coordinating chain that holds the CS together. They are often deployed with vehicle crews as sensor operators par excellence. Requirements : I.Q. 10, M.E. 12. Training Time: 2 Years T.V./Video (+15%) Literacy: American (+15%) Cryptography (+10%) Laser Communication Advanced Electronic Warfare (+5%) ECM (+15%) Basic Electronics (+10%) Computer Repair (+15%) Bonuses : Communications Specialists also get Read Sensory Equipment at (+25%), instead of (+10%) Rank: Communication Specialists start at E-3.

E.O.D. M.O.S.
Explosive Ordinance Disposal (E.O.D.) Specialists are highly trained in the use of explosive devices. They can diffuse unexploded bombs, make explosive devices or modify existing explosive devices. Unlike the RLT teams, these marines are true masters of demolitions, traps, and modern warfare. Requirements : I.Q. 12, P.S. 10, P.E. 12 Training Time: 2 Years Basic Electronics (+5%) Basic Mechanics (+5%) Demolitions (+25%) Demolitions: Disposal (+25%) Detect Concealment (+15%) NBC Warfare (+15%) Trap Construction (+15%) Trap/Mine Detection (+25%) Bonuses : EOD Specialist get a +2 bonus to perception checks, due to alertness training, and detailed observation drills during training.

Military Police M.O.S.
Trained to secure bases from both outside interference, and the actions of drunk, disorderly, and disobedient soldiers, CS MPs are both discrete and hard-nosed. While some may later go into ISS, not all do. In addition, these marines are the posted guards that secure sensitive locations on the CS naval vessels, especially the capital ships. Requirements : I.Q. 10, M.A. 11, P.E. 11 Pilot Hover Cycle (+15%) Find Contraband, Cybernetics, and Weapons (+20%) Law (CS) (+15%) Intelligence (+10%) Streetwise (+20%) W.P. Blunt W.P. Handguns OR W.P. Shotgun W.P. Shield Bonuses : +1 to Perception, due to alertness and detailed analysis training Rank: Military Police start at E-2.

Reconnaissance Landing Team: Commandos
AN RLT consists of ten highly trained infantrymen, plus a senior NCO and a Lieutenant (usually J.G.). The primary mission of an RLT is reconnaissance of amphibious landing sites and enemy positions. Additionally they are trained to perform special operations missions, such as search and destroy patrols, sabotage, assassination (usually by sniping), hostage rescue, and more. Unlike the sub-M.O.S. that follow, the RLT is a special ops generalist. Requirements : I.Q. 12, P.S. 12, P.E. 15 Training Time: 2 Years Demolitions (+10%) Demolitions: Underwater (+10%) Demolitions: Disposal (+10%) Detect Ambush (+20%) Detect Concealment (+20%) Land Navigation (+15%) One Physical Skill or W.P. of choice (+10%) Prowl (+15%) Bonuses : RLT operatives get a +1 bonus to perception checks, due to alertness training, and detailed observation drills during training. They also get an additional +1 to initiative at levels 1, 5, 10, and 15. Rank: RLT Commandos start at E-3.

Reconnaissance Landing Team: Close Quarters Battle Specialist M.O.S.
Trained in close combat, these specialists are the bunker clearers, the first into insurgent houses, and generally considered second only to other Reconnaissance Landing Team Commandos in terms of being bad-ass. They also have one of the higher fatality rates, because of this. Still, combat junkies and heroes alike clamor for the chance to become part of their ranks. Requirements : I.Q. 10, P.S. 12, P.P. 12, P.E. 15 Training Time: 2 Years 2 physical skill selections (+20% if applicable) Change Hand to Hand to either CQB or Martial Arts (player choice). The CQB Commando may choose to trade two of their other skill choices for Hand to Hand: Commando. W.P. Blunt W.P. Handguns W.P. Knife W.P. Spear W.P. Shotguns Bonuses : CQB Specialists get an additional +1 to initiative and dodge at levels 1, 5, 10, and 15. Rank: CQB Commandos start at E-3.

Reconnaissance Landing Team: Forward Observer M.O.S.
Part of the N.I.’s Reconnaissance Landing Teams, forward observers help artillery and air strikes to be more precise. They also prevent aircraft from dropping ordinance on friendly forces. Requirements : I.Q. 10, M.E. 12, P.E. 15 Training Time: 2 Years Military Sign Language (+15%) Math Basic (+15%) Optic Systems (+15%) Detect Concealment (+25%) Land Navigation (+30%) Pilot Hover Cycle (+15%) Prowl (+25%) W.P.

They also get an additional +1 to dodge at levels 1, 5, 10, and 15. Rank: Forward Observers start out at E-3.

Reconnaissance Landing Team: Target Acquisition Group M.O.S.
Part of the NI’s Reconnaissance Landing Teams, these soldiers are often sent alone, or in small groups. These deadly, yet silent men and women are the stuff of legends among the Coalition’s enemies. “Silent Souls leave Laser Holes” is their unofficial motto, and CS propaganda movies and games have made the often boring jobs of these unsung heroes seem like a vibrant choice for many grunts coming into training. Their long and brutal training weeds out those unsuited to the work. Requirements : I.Q. 12, M.E. 15, P.E. 15 Training Time: 2 Years Camouflage (+30%) Detect Ambush (+30%) Detect Concealment (+30%) Sniper (with an extra +1 to strike on an aimed shot at levels 2, 5, 10 and 15) Prowl (+30%) Track Humanoids (+30%) W.P. Rifle Wilderness Survival (+20%) Bonuses : TAG operatives get a +2 bonus to perception checks, due to alertness training, and detailed observation drills during training.
