TGMC:ERT

This page is a part of the TGMC wiki.
TGMC is a project based on the CM-SS13 codebase. |
ERT
So everything's fucked, the xenos are on their way to the ship, everyone's screaming 11 different things on comms, and more than half the marine force is either dead or dying. Who ya gonna call? Why, the Emergency Response Teams, of course! ERTs can be called by launching a distress beacon from the Communications Console in the CIC(can only be done after Alamo hijack and if the marine to xeno ratio is below a certain threshold). 1 minute after the button is pressed, the beacon will be launched, and a notification will be sent to all ghosts in the round allowing them to rejoin the game as an ERT member! But don't be too hasty in pressing the button! The responders might not always be friendly...
The Teams
There are currently four alignments of ERT: TGMC aligned, ICC aligned, Xenomorphs, and Hostile Unknowns. NT PMC, Spec-Ops, and the Freelancers are all aligned with TerraGov and will assist them through any means possible. The Sons of Mars, Independent Colonial Confederation Armed Forces, and Colonial Liberation Force are all aligned with eachother in a shaky alliance against TerraGov. The Sectoids are an unknown hostile enemy who will attack Xenomorphs or Humans of any faction on sight.
PLAYERS IN OPPOSING FACTIONS SHOULD NOT BE WORKING WITH EACHOTHER NO MATTER WHAT! Taking a break from shooting at eachother to deal with a xenomorph mauling you both is fine, reviving someone from the other team or making friendly conversation is not!.
ERT weaponry
For a list containing the statistics of every ERT primary weapon by faction, consult the ERT section of the marine equipment page.
TGMC Aligned ERT
These factions are responding to the emergency beacon launched from the ships in hopes of coming to the aid of the panicked marines. Marines and these ERT members should NOT engage in hostilities. What kind of help these ERT provide is up to the leader of the squad. As these ERT are all TGMC aligned, they should not engage with hostilities with eachother, however should be hostile to ICC aligned ERT.
NanoTrasen Private Military Contractors
| NT Private Military Contractors | |
|
Alignment: TGMC Marine Rules of Engagement: Do not fire upon Mercenaries under Nanotrasen's payroll, the PMCs have one primary objective: Get the CL to safety! Of course, they can still stick behind and try to save the ship from the mutual threat that is the xeno menace, but that's a secondary concern. The PMCs, being very well funded, are armed with elite PR-412E pulse rifles loaded with armor piercing ammunition. They have dedicated snipers wielding the powerful SR-42 antitank sniper rifle, a weapon so powerful non-snipers are knocked off their feet by its recoil! They also bring along smartgunners wielding a variant of the SG-29 smartmachinegun. Xenos beware!

Sons of Mars
| Sons of Mars | |

Alignment: ICC Marine Rules of Engagement: Shoot on sight Colonists that fled from Mars due to lore reasons, the SoM are the TGMC's primary human enemies. They have a knack for engineering, putting together surprisingly sturdy armor from what would otherwise be considered scrap. They primarily wield surplus weapons and older designs taken with them during their exodus of Mars, such as the AK47 and the M16A4 assault rifles. If you see these guys as a marine, expect them to shoot at you, and be ready to shoot back if they do. Though temporary armistices during extraordinary times of mutual duress are not unheard of.
