LORE~

(Origin)
First formed in 2944, the Kraken Expeditionary Brigade is a relatively new light combat/scout fleet, with a fearsome reputation. Originally contracted as a UEEN commissioned mercenary fleet intended to combat increasing pirate activity in the outer rim of UEE space, the brigade however saw extensive deployment during the initial Vanduul incursions of 2945-2947. Kraken gets its name from its ( at the time prototype ) flagship, The famed “Poseidon 1” kraken class carrier. During deployments with the UEE 2nd fleet, allied marines would commonly refer to the brigade in its entirety as “the Kraken”, and naturally the name was adopted when the fleet was released from the UEE Naval contract it was under (Late 2947).

(Battle of Vega)
Notably, Kraken was tasked with protecting civilian transports during the infamous battle of Vega II (October 5th, 2945). Shortly after the battle commenced, Vanduul packs outmaneuvered the bogged down 2nd fleet. In an attempt to stem the tidal wave of destruction heading toward Vega II, the brigade held its own against seemingly endless waves of Vanduul fighters for over an hour until relief arrived.

(Aftermath of Vega and current standing)
After the battle of Vega, Kraken was tasked with patrolling systems bordering the Vanduul. Here it saw a few minor skirmishes, mostly with small bands of pirates. Following the naval contract’s dissolution, the brigade has since become a free-lance “expeditionary” mercenary fleet, working with the likes of the esteemed ITC (Interstellar Trading Company), the CDF (Civilian Defense Force) and the infamous 13th Armada, Kraken now offers its services to private militaries and established organizations across the verse.

SERVICES~

Kraken offers many services associated with all standard operating PMCs. From scouting, to security ops, to escorting. But its main focus is on the establishment of FOB’s (forward operating bases) and infiltration of enemy bases for larger organizations and private militaries. Whether you’re an industrial crew looking to scout an area for a base/ and or build one, or need a pesky enemy org base raided. Kraken will get the job done. Small unit tactics are the name of our game.

Although we have a main goal in mind, we will not be beholden to that one thing. We hope to keep gameplay fresh by participating in verse wide and org organized events and a variety of offered services. From fleet battles, org wars, and standard mercenary work. Kraken hopes to fight on all fronts.

No matter your calling, there is a place for you in the fleet. Structured into three main branches (the TRIDENT) the brigade offers opportunities to participate a wide range of activities.

THE TRIDENT DOCTRINE~

Logistics and research division~

The logistics team is an all-encompassing do it all group of hardworking men and women. These members are the lifeline of productivity in the org.

• Constuction crew: experts at building in hostile, contested zones
• Resource Procurement/management: miners, salvagers, and traders tasked with supply procurement and management
• Engineering: master mechanics and technicians keep all vehicles running at maximum efficiency

Marines~

Kraken’s feared and respected operatives trained by the renown 13th Armada. Elite soldiers tasked with all things ground combat. Experts at rapid deployment in highly contested zones and covert operations. These brave men and women take the fight to the enemy with ground vehicles, small arms tactics, and unyielding tenacity. Backed by a renown, highly trained and combat hardened medical team, Kraken Operators are second to none.

• 1st armored battalion: “Ironsides”- wielding the fearsome Nova tank, the Ironsides assault enemy positions with terrifying firepower
• 1st Marine Battalion: “The Pathfinders”- the venerable shock troops of the kraken brigade, first in the fight and last to leave
• Pararescue Team: “Archangels”- first class combat medics that keep the brigade’s marines in the fight
• Special Reconnaissance Battalion: the elite operatives of the brigade, experts at covert infiltrations and scouting operations

Fleet~

The Backbone of the brigade.
We at Kraken favor drake ships (exceptions allowed of course lol) for their ruggedness and easily interchanged (cheap) parts. Our troop transport pilots get our ground forces in the fight safely, and quickly. With the famed “Poseidon 1” kraken carrier at its head, and an elite fighter squadron (nicknamed “Hellhounds”), and multitude of support ships, Kraken offers a daunting presence in the sky.

BENEFITS?~

Kraken’s hopes and dreams are to create a community of likeminded friends to explore the verse with. Whether you’re a casual weekender or a die-hard dedicated citizen, we hope to make any and all feel at home with us. Above all our main goal is to form a welcoming and supportive team that has one thing in mind, enjoying the game. Role-players and non role-players are all welcome! We hope to cater to all types of citizens. Our aim is to make an immersive environment for those who do wish to roleplay, and not bog down those that don’t.

Although admittedly currently limited, becoming an operative gives you the chance to participate in a wide range of activities with friends at your side. We hope to organize weekly operations both large scale, and small.

Again, admittedly limited right now, but joining the brigade it gives you the opportunity to use all resources at the org’s disposal. As we grow, we hope this pool of resources will as well. From ships, to UEC. One of our goals is to be able to have a deep resource pool to draw from and as an operative, you will have full access to this as well.

HOW TO JOIN?~

Easy! just apply on the main page or dm me for an invite :) No one is turned down, and there are no requirements.

If you’ve made it this far, thankyou :) ! We hope to see you in the verse! Safe travels citizen o7
