Welcome city-17

Ranks

Civil Protection (CP) Ranks

In descending order: SeC, Sector Commander - God. Highest CP rank. Listen to him. He can use /dispatch chat. He controls the division leaders. Try to avoid contact with them. They do not do grunt work. DvL, Division Leader - Commands all the units in the DIVISION (explained later). He can use /dispatch chat. He is in control of ALL divisions. Try to avoid contact with them. They do not do grunt work. EpU, Elite protection Unit - They know what they are doing. Pay attention to them if you are learning. OfC, Officer Combine - Standard unit. RCT, Recruit - Rookie. New to the MPF and you take orders from everyone else (don't ask for promotions!)


Overwatch Transhuman Arm (OTA) Ranks

Note that transhuman means evolved beyond human. You are a human but you have been cybernetically modified but you AI is highly advanced so nobody can tell the difference between you and a human. All OTA can use /dispatch chat. If there are more members in your squad online, you must move together as a squad. Overwatch can execute a person at any time without arresting and without JURY. Executions count as amputations.

EOW, Overwatch Elite - You are much better equipped than the soldiers and it is your job to lead your squad and keep them fully equipped. You have a high authority and you can tell CP what to do as you are the occupying force, made in the combine's image. OWS, Overwatch Soldier - Grunt. You know how to shoot and take orders. If your elite squad leader is present, you should not give orders.


Divisions

Divisions are the sections the MPF are divided into. None of the divisions are more important than the others and does not give you more authority than someone of the same rank and you should try to fit your role as best you can.

City Administrator

Understanding this can be difficult. The CA is literally an administrator. You keep the city organised, and make broadcasts in order to do so. The city is controlled by the combine. It is their city. You were only installed to keep up propaganda for the combine. It is ok to tell CP what to do because they are tools of your job, although the higher rank CPs can override the administator's authority.

CP Divisions

JURY - Deal with anti-citizens in jail and perform trials and amputations SHIELD - Field medics. It is your job to keep MPF and lawful citizens alive using medicine. BASTION - Checkpoint guards. They control movement of citizens in the city and block off restricted areas. UNION - A patrol division to make sure the streets are controlled NOVA - A search ops division specialised in breaching buildings.

OTA Divisions

There are many OTA divisons including APEX, BLADE, ECHO and more but none of them have a specific purpose. They are simply squads that the soldiers are put into.
