Atlasian Forces

The Atlas Coalition has a exceedingly large miltary and police presence in its main landmass. It employs a variation of Genetically-Modified Metahumans, cyborgs, fully robotic combatants and regular human forces with varying levels of training. Overall, the Coalition has a unit to counter nearly any enemy strategy, and with the unveiling of the Defender project and the later reveal of the Atlas Protectorate, it appears that the Coalition has begun to deploy more and more threatening forces to combat the growing insurrection forces.

## Major Atlasian Forces

### The Atlas Defense Force

The Atlas Defense Force is the Atlas Coalition's Military. It was created from the base of the United States Military in 2010 and was further enhanced by the integration of the militaries of captured countries during the Six Weeks' War. The Atlas Defense Force was later deployed into Africa during the African War, and during that time they became a perfect army, the scars of the Six Weeks' War being healed as they fought side by side. In 2018 General Eric Connelly was made General of the Army and has remained so ever since.

Notable Members of the Atlas Defense Force include:

* Beck Pienaar (Former, JSI Contractor)
* Bill Travis (Former, Deceased)
* Eric Connelly
* Horus O'Sullivan (Deceased)
* Jewel Mondragon (Former, JSI Contractor, Deceased)
* Jaco Clark (Contractor)
* Kloos Lang (Former, JSI Contractor, Deceased)
* Nestor McKellen
* Oscar Watson
* Roger Jefferies (Deceased)
* Sergei Chernov (Former, JSI Contractor, Deceased)
* Steve Barton (Former, JSI Contractor)
* William Peterson (Former, JSI Contractor, Deceased)

### Atlasian Security Forces

The Atlasian Security Forces are the Police of the Atlas Coalition. They enjoy a high budget and access to superior technology than before the Coalition was formed. They have access to call upon the Atlas Defense Force in desperate situations due to Commander Crow's close friendship with General Eric Connelly. The Atlasian Security Force are highly trained and vetted operatives from a variety of backgrounds, and as such they are known to be very unbiased in their application of justice. However, it is also true that they follow the Atlasian law, which has led to the deaths of countless Resistance groups. The Atlas Security Force is mostly comprised of regular humans, but they occasionally deploy genetically enhanced soldiers and often deploy cyborg and mechanical forces. While the majorty of the Security Force is highly disciplined, some more isolated towns are less regimented and require outside assistance for serious situations, notably the town of Jefferson, MS before the incident after which it was fortified by General Connelly in his hunt for Kirill Sokolov.

Notable Members of the Atlasian Security Forces include:

* Lana Prowse
* Martin Finlay (Former)
* Michael Crow (Commander)
* Plate (Former, Deceased Twice)
* Syneus Loronzo Bella Torres (Former)

### The Atlas Intelligence Agency

The Atlas Intelligence Agency is the core Intelligence Agency of the Atlas Coalition. They function in the shadows, doing the dirty work behind the scenes.

Notable Members of the Atlas Intelligence Agency include:

* Russel Giles (Former, Deceased)
* Yolene van Danse (Commander)

## Minor Atlasian Forces

### Atlasian Elite Forces

The Atlasian Elite Forces are a highly skilled fighting force comprised of some of the best regular human soldiers the Coalition can field. They were the first responders during crises such as the African War, African Resurgence, the Greenland Skirmish and of course the Valentine's Day Disaster. After the debacle that was the VDD, General Eric Connelly had the Elite Forces go through another series of strict training in which some members were honourably discharged due to age and physical incapability. Despite their failure in protecting Hyperion VI, Connelly thanked the Elite Forces for their sacrifices in the VDD. He personally made sure those that were discharged received ample payment and were offered jobs within the Coalition Government that allowed them to continue defending the country.

### Type-I Metahuman Forces

The Type-I Forces were created very early in the life-cycle of the Hyperion Project. They were regular soldiers who fit a certain genetic template who were then enhanced with Hyperion I's DNA. Gene Five was not used in the infusion, therefore the enhancements were small and there was a 60% lethality rate. Instead, Nestor McKellen's DNA was used as a genetic 'binding agent' which led to enhanced electric abilities. Later on Gene Five was used instead which led to a 0% lethality rate and massively increased capabilities. The Type-I soldiers faced by the Valentine Raiders were Gene Five Type-I soldiers. The McKellen soldiers were mostly retired, and some even left the Atlas Defense Force.

### Atlasian Defender Corps

The Atlasian Defender Corps are an elite force made up of Type-IV Metahumans created from Elijah Samson's DNA. They are extremely powerful magnetic warriors who are more often than not found scattered throughout different branches of the Security or Defense Force, as they are more effective whilst spread out. There are very few Defenders that are not within the Atlasian Defender Corps, though there have been a number of recorded deserters and even some former members that left the military.

### Atlasian Iron Angels

The Atlasian Iron Angel Project was a massive undertaking that helped build body augmentation research into the powerhouse it is in 2039. The Iron Angel Project, through some minor hiccups, eventually led to the Atlasian Iron Angel- a Cybernetic Soldier that cannot feel pain, knows no fear and is near impossible for a full Resistance Colony to put down with concentrated firepower. The Iron Angel is nearly fully mechanical, but retains a human brain, digestive system and enough bone to sustain a blood flow for them. All other organs are mechanical, and includes a Metahuman-level respiration and circulatory system that keeps the Iron Angel operating at maximum capacity. After the completion of the Project, control of the Iron Angels was spread amongst the Defense Force, the Security Force and the Atlas Intelligence Agency. As such, Iron Angels are usually deployed either alone or in duos. That's enough, most of the time. When Iron Angels are deployed en masse it's usually for a critical battle.

### Apotheosis Squad

Apotheosis Squad is an Atlasian Death Squad that has committed various atrocities. Their actions are partly responsible for the Valentine's Day Disaster as well as the success of the Iron Angel Project. Apotheosis Squad are nigh-unstoppable death machines with no moral quandaries about killing anyone and everything. If the hit is ordered, they will carry it out immediately without any hesitation.

### Reclamation Squad

Reclamation Squad is an Atlasian Death Squad that has engaged in many shadowy assassinations throughout the Atlas Coalition itself. They have been tasked with reclaiming lost assets from the Valentine's Day Disaster and executing all those involved in the affair.
