Commando

**Commandos**, also known as **Navy Commandos**, are the personnel that make up the Central Empire Navy in *Marauders*.

## Overview

Commandos are a hostile faction that are equipped with gear that is supplied by the Central Empire, such as the STG-44, MG-42 and Panzer Armour, and operate the Capital Frigate ships and APC vehicles. Commandos can be found occupying mainly the Damaged Capital Ship, calling out for help and firing upon other ships as they approach. Commandos, excluding the Commando Major, can occasionally be found in other locations, such as the Merchant Ship Bridge or Iridium Asteroid Mine. Commandos wage war on their targets, primarily the SAS, by using overwhelming firepower on their targets. Wolff achieved the rank of Captain, before retiring to peddle stolen Central Empire equipment to the Pirates. Wolff's former colleagues were killed by Pirates in response to Wolff refusing to trade gear, resulting in a reopen of trading and a gift of a Heavy MG-42 to the Pirates. Commandos also have an air division, featuring pilots such as the Red Baron. The Central Empire Navy is regarded as being the most well trained military in the galaxy.

Commandos previously inhabited the Navy Outpost, before it was overrun by the Kingdom Alliance SAS. The Kingdom Alliance had an undercover agent inside the Commandos that inhabited the Navy Outpost who was injured and relocated in the invasion of the facility, and will often target Central Empire intelligence documents. The commander of the Navy Commandos is Cpt. Secloso, who owns a red APC adorned with his name present in the Navy Outpost. The United Allies contract the Pirates to sabotage this same APC, and set bounties on the assassination of Commandos.

Killing Commandos will earn progress towards certain missions and tournaments. The Fallen Empire tournament is ranked according to the amount of Commandos killed.

## Trivia

* The APC's owner, Cpt. Secloso, is a reference to community member SecLoSo, who survived an industrial accident in between the beta and full release of *Marauders*, and was presumed to have passed. Community members, including streamer HalfMetalFox, held a memorial stream, and as a result SecLoSo's name was placed on the APC. SecLoSo was later found to have survived the accident, and the name has been kept to "represent good vibes, the hard times, and to remember your safety equipment".
