Soldiers in **Unit 93** (Spanish: **Unidad 93**) have been described as heavily armed, highly trained and extremely dangerous. Despite their intended role as a military police special operations unit of the Bolivian military, their infamy across the country of Bolivia have earned them the nickname **Los Diablos** (Eng: **The Devils**), due to their reputation for relentlessly pursuing enemies until they either flee or are killed off.

## History

In 2020, the drug cartel Hijos Del Sueno arrived in the nation of Bolivia, beginning a brutal campaign of violence across the nation, targeting rival cartels and killing an untold multitude of civilians and endangering thousands more lives. To that end, the government created Unit 93 (Unidad 93), a militarized police force dedicated to stopping the cartel. Unfortunately, Unidad 93 made things worse for Bolivia; months of bloody fighting failed to stop the expansion of Hijos Del Sueno in the country, with entire villages and provinces becoming nightmarish war zones for the Bolivian people. Entire provinces became no man’s land, and chaos spread. Things came to a head when the Bolivian general Fernando Quispe, guilt-ridden over the loss of life, formed a truce with Hijos Del Sueno with support from the Bolivian government.

However, this proved to be a grave mistake, as under the truce Unidad 93 officers became increasingly corrupt and even aided the cartel's operations. The cartel started brutally oppressing the people of Bolivia, but because they did a good job suppressing their activities from the outside world, war was avoided. As time went on, UNIDAD 93 proved to be increasingly trigger-happy in their handling of the situation in Bolivia; UNIDAD 93 officers were witnessed executing civilians for the pettiest of things.

UNIDAD 93 also began launching attacks against the rebel movement, known as the Bolivian People's Liberation and Resistance Army, in an attempt to suppress any attempt at an uprising against the new corrupt cartel-collaborative government.

Following a failed attempt at assassinating various rebel lieutenants that left thousands of civilians dead, UNIDAD 93's war with the cartel restarted afresh. However, UNIDAD 93 also found itself fighting against a new enemy: China, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq and Iran formed the Eurasian Coalition and declared war on Bolivia simultaneously, seeing the government as indirectly responsible for the attack when the government did nothing to investigate.

## Operations

### Dark Money

One of UNIDAD 93's main goals following the truce was to protect the Bolivian president's "dirty little secret". This included assassinating whistle-blowers, journalists, snitches, or anyone who could reveal the truth. They also collect bribes from Hijos Del Sueno, using it in turn to bribe customs officials, journalists, and local police. When this fails, UNIDAD 93 goes to Plan B...

### Conspiracy of Silence

It is common knowledge that Unidad 93 works with the cartels, but no one dares to admit it, since anyone who has spoken out against this revelation has either been assassinated or kidnapped by either UNIDAD 93 or the cartel or both, never to be seen again.

### Border Control

UNIDAD 93 also mans checkpoints across the country to prevent anyone with potential information about the conspiracy from leaving the country. The problem comes when high-profile visitors arrive, like politicians or documentary crews. This is where "accidents" begin to happen.

## Bases

UNIDAD 93 has a large array of bases scattered across the nation of Bolivia, as part of a massive surveillance network against the civilian population. Destroying these military bases would not only cripple UNIDAD 93 operations across the country, but embolden any resistance against both the cartel and UNIDAD 93.

The following is a list of confirmed bases in Bolivia belonging to UNIDAD 93:

* **MOB Condor**: A Massive UNIDAD 93 airfield and forward operating base
* **FOB Eagle**: A river base that controls eastern Bolivia.
* **FOB Burro**: UNIDAD 93's main FOB.

## Equipment

Being a well-equipped military police unit, UNIDAD 93 soldiers use many state-of-the-art equipment. Many of their weapons and vehicles are American made, but they also have some from Canada, the European Union, and Russia.

### Small arms

* **Remington R5 RGP**: The standard issue rifle for UNIDAD 93 officers.
* **Remington MSR**: Standard issue sniper rifle for snipers.
