The Horizon Corporation is the main antagonist faction of Trepang2, targeted by Task Force 27 and Subject 106. A mega-corporation involved in technological engineering, military/security services, surveillance, and, most importantly, anomalous research, Horizon has over 450 offices located around the world, with at least 800,000 employees in its service.

## Combat Units

Along with the corporation's own private security used to defend their research sites and civilian facilities, Horizon also utilizes the Talon PMC for its black ops activities.

Standard equipment for all Horizon security operatives, including Talon: the Mark 23 pistol, the Vector submachine gun, the VHS-2 bullpup rifle, the SLR-8 designated marksman rifle, and the SPAS-12 shotgun. Horizon will also occasionally deploy bulletproof riot shields, and utilize chemlight flares and fragmentation grenades in combat scenarios. There are also "heavy soldiers" who wear heavily armored EOD suits that can absorb an extreme amount of damage before it is destroyed, leaving the soldier underneath vulnerable.

Outside of combat, Horizon soldiers utilize helicopters to deploy into high-risk areas such as active combat zones or anomalous areas. Horizon also has at least two attack helicopters - one piloted by "Hunter," a Horizon pilot, and one used by Anton Lazar as his personal helicopter.

### **Horizon Security**

The most commonly encountered security operatives used by Horizon. Commonly recruited from the masses, Horizon security are equipped with military-grade armor and weapons. Recognizable by their woodland camouflage uniforms, they are found in practically every facility Subject 106 infiltrates. While not particularly tough, they are accurate, trained, and numerous.

There also exists a small division of Horizon security members that are assigned to guard civilian personnel. They wear more casual attire compared to the military gear of the main division. There are no functional differences between typical Horizon security guards and Horizon bodyguards.

### **Talon Private Military Company**

Horizon's elite black ops unit. Deadly and efficient, Talon is known to be used in Horizon's secret missions, most notably assassinations and acquisitions of anomalous materials. In combat against Subject 106, they are fast and accurate, never staying in cover for too long. They are easily recognized by their all-black uniforms and their panoramic night vision goggles that emit a bright red light. Most notably, all of their weapons use suppressors and laser sights as their standard issue attachments.

	+ Joseph Grant, "Scarecrow" - Unidentified Structure

### **Horizon Engineering and Construction Unit**

The Horizon Engineering and Construction Unit, or simply known as "HECU". Renowned for their ability to work even in the most hazardous or dangerous of conditions, the HECU is also responsible for a data center's counter-hacking measures for when a server is hacked by an infiltrator. While not focused on combat, they are equipped and trained to handle self-defense in the event that they are attacked. They are recognizable by their urban camo and green-eyed gas masks.

* Affiliated units
	+ Tyler Johnson, "Hatchet" - Oil Rig
	+ Wayne Boumester, "Redfern" - Oil Rig

### **Hazmat Unit**

Horizon's hazardous material handling and anomalous containment unit. True to their name, the Horizon Hazmat Unit wears brightly-colored rubber hazmat suits and come equipped with modified weapons that set them apart from the rank-and-file Horizon security operatives. Sent to areas suspected of radioactive material or anomalous activity, they are meant to spearhead efforts to secure and maintain an area before a full-scale Horizon detachment comes to support them.

	+ "Blue Sky Officer" - Site 83

### **Horizon Secret Service**

Anton Lazar's personal security team. Unlike other combat units, they're literal corporate soldiers - rather than a military uniform, they wear designer suits and slacks; even the most heavily equipped Secret Service soldier wears a sharp tie underneath all of their gear. They personally guard Lazar in his corporate tower, dedicating their lives to defend him at all costs. Though not as professional as Talon or the average Horizon guard, they make up for it in durable armor. Secret Service members are also seemingly biologically enhanced, as their eyes glow an unnatural orange and unarmored members can take as much punishment as a standard Horizon security operative, if not more.

## Trivia

* Though its official website states that the headquarters of Horizon is located within Silicon Valley - a region in northern California, USA - the mission map in the Task 27 Safehouse reveals that Horizon HQ is somewhere within the Caribbean Sea, on "Horizon Islands".
