Universal Union of Remnant

## Remnant Operations

2017 (Remnant Phase)

Remnant Operations (also less commonly known as the Universal Union of Remnant) is an autocratic, futuristic military headed by the Primarch M J Rivero 31. Its military, the Combine, consists of the Militia, Systems Overwatch, and Huntsmen program, which are managed by the Defense Administration and Marshals, under the leadership of the Primarch.

Influences for Remnant stem from several sci-fi and cyberpunk settings, with the Combine from Half Life proving to be one of the most notable. Remnant was once closely allied with the Tritan Matrix, which had been a Sector of Remnant and eventually fully merged into the Union.

## Background

A futuristic military clan coming from Reach as Aegis Military Corporation, Aegis would eventually become SinoViet. However, SinoViet would see an almost fundamental transformation into Remnant, moving away from a PMC and the clan becoming more sci-fi based and original. The culture of Remnant is one more focused on building close friendships among its members, rather than traditional discipline found in other military clans.

Despite this, Remnant reflects it identity in game and through its structure, with aspects of lore being integrated into the experience.

Remnant has also been a prominent member of the New Conglomerate coalition. Before Tritan's merge into Remnant, both Remnant and Tritan enjoyed a close relationship, with Tritan being a Sector.

## Structure

### Combine Military:

Charged with the duty of protecting the wider body of the Union, the Combine military is divided into three primary branches: the Militia, the Systems Overwatch, and the Huntsmen program. All three branches are under the jurisdiction of the military council, known as the Remnant Defense Administration.

#### **//: Militia**

*Duty. Service. Fortitude.*

Following catastrophic events in the Union's history, the Militia was founded in effort to expand the security of the worlds part of the Union. While each planet is responsible for its garrisoned Militia, the Militia still falls under the strict regulations of the RDA.

While the Militia was originally intended as a defense force, it has grown into a supplementary force which can be used offensively alongside the Overwatch. It has as well served as the new means of recruitment into the Overwatch, making the Militia the start of every Operator's career. For those joining Remnant, they will begin here.

#### **//: Systems Overwatch**

*Deploy. Confront. Sterilize.*

Serving as the backbone of the Union's military, the Systems Overwatch encompasses both naval and ground assets, including infantry and mechanized as well as the airwatch. The Overwatch was designed to be a well equipped, flexible and adaptable force that can be rapidly deployed across a variety of environments, familiar and exotic.

The Overwatch is comprised of Operation Lances, consisting of both core Lances and Specialized Lances. The structure of the Overwatch is also more expansive than that of the Militia and Huntsmen.

#### **//: Huntsmen**

*Endeavor. Comprehend. Mastery.*

The Huntsmen Program was created to fulfill the need of clandestine special forces capable of direct action as well as sensitive operations. These adaptable individuals possess a strong tenure with the Union, making them ideal for the program. Prospective members are recruited exclusively from the Overwatch, in which they will undergo a trainee period for full evaluation. Those who succeed will earn their status as Huntsmen.

Within Union society, Huntsmen are viewed as unnatural and held to be suspicious. The nature of their duties is perhaps part of the reason as to why the Union only accepts the most dedicated and loyal, as well as entrusting them with the gifts to defy even death itself. The means to how this would be possible, like with many details of the program, remain unknown to most of those outside it.

On the battlefield, Huntsmen are commonly deployed alongside Militia and Overwatch units.

## Conflicts

Remnant has been involved in several conflicts, including but not limited to: against the Command of Pluto, against the Divine Angels, and a participant of the GRA war. The GRA war would leave lingering tensions between Remnant and the NRI, which would eventually escalate upon the NRI declaring war on Remnant. Remnant would commence an invasion against the NRI, resulting in an eventual Remnant victory despite the NRI's claims to the contrary.

## Forging

Remnant operates many facilities spread across countless planets that are a part of the Union. As a result, variations in design are to be expected, however common trends to exist. Remnant facilities tend to be industrial, with futuristic design elements incorporated into the design. This lends Remnant with a more unique aesthetic.

Many Remnant facilities are also experimental in nature, unlike others that are commonly found across the community. A wide variety of equipment is also employed, with resourceful attackers even having acquired uncommon or exotic weaponry on par with what is employed by the Combine.
