#### **Notable MNI personnel:**

##### **Martin Nowhere**

Wealthy member of the MNI-CB, and current CEO of MNI, Martin is responsible for directing the overall future of Middle of Nowhere Industries. While he has worked on improving MNI’s economy to new, powerful levels, there are those that scheme behind his back…

Pro

-All sources of
economical resources are more efficient by Martin-backed commanders.

Cons

-Guy’s boring,
provides no special in-combat focus.

##### **Simon Finch**

A wealthy MNI elite, with a power-hungry nature and a ruthless drive to dominate, no matter what. Is not above manipulating his way to power, infiltrating and exploiting otherwise hostile entities and even inciting revolts for the sake of influence. Some say that his ability to manipulate is so good, he has convinced even Castalian soldiers to abandon their loyalty and join his forces, along with whoever else, but such a thing has been written off as fake information. Of course, that’s what’s officially reported…

Pro

-Engineers can recover abandoned enemy vehicles, bringing them to your side

-Spies have longer Line of Sight, slightly faster speed undisguised

-Can train *basic* units and vehicles of any faction opposing his (if more than one, automatically selects at random from presently available. If there’s only MNI factions present at the start of a match, randomly selects a faction to use.)

Cons

-Advanced vehicles are significantly pricier and take longer to deploy.
