Shadow Company
Q:What is Shadow Comapany?
A:Shadow company is a small elite taskforce, a greyspot between CIA and a PMC.Doing the wetwork and unconventional warfare needs of american intrests.Its unknown if uncle sam profits from them or not but its rumored that Shadowcompany was preferd by the president because of his private offshore "slush "acounts reciving a cut from the cake to fund his own schemes.Usually involving Shadow Company even further, and that was just good for business.
Q:What would they be like ingame?
A:They would have their own build que on the barracks.All infantry would be built at rank 2, giving them more experiance then their normal elite breathern.Alongside this would imply they have training to sustain themselves and take care of any wounds they have over time.
Most of the stuff produceable from the warfactory wouldnt be avaible.They dont use heavy tanks or anything even remotely armoured unless its a rare occsaion.They share and buy most of the stuff the US millatary employs from starlifters to littlebirds.The grey zone with the CIA allows them to somehow employ stealth comaches and nighthawk strikes as well.
Q:Whats the diffrence between them and veteran compnany?
A:Other then all of their units starting out as elite, theese soldiers are either diehard patriots or people willing to fight because fighting is what they are good at.Either way the can do what needs to be done and keep quiet about it.With the bulk of the US millatary never leaving their borders.
With there being a pseudo unspoken rule of: "If your not special forces your not being deployed." flying around.Shadow company is for men that would like to have conflicts of intrests aka profiteering off war and to thoose who have experiance in this kind of field.Almost all shadowcompany personnel are veterans of either a branch of special forces or the CIA.
Q:What unique tactics and units do they employ?
Well first of all they have all the generic Infantry units of the US.From the generic Ranger being a shadow company oprative thats a mixture of a green berret and a missle defender to a Shadowguard (drone) operator.They also have a more advanced and bigger version of the Javelin called "Olympus" This weapon can engage both helicopters or strike at targets at long range with pinpoint accuracy.Alongside this they have a multitude of munitions, from things thats clean and precise to things that can "get the job done".(White phosphorus for example)
They also are the highest buyers of ATV's and Airborne humvees as heavily use a mixture of Air mobility tactics with a reliance on fast and silent tactics that leave nothing much but bodies and barely a trace.
They house a mobile HQ inside a starlifter for each combat operation alongside deploying their other units including littlebirds from other starlifters.
Alongside this they have a multitude of outposts across africa, mostly mercenarys like them under their payroll.Their biggest establishments are the unknown amounts of "blackspots" they have, housing Prisoners of war.Yet other then their "Capital" so to speak they lack any T2 establishments.Lacking nearly all unmanned defences on thier facilities and a proper stratagey center to field battleplans.
Important note: Shadow Company is known to have its roots mostly in africa.Thus It can also use SANDFOR equipment to an extent as well.
Infantry list (Clean)
Shadow Company operative:
Rank 2 Green berret Better at combat dropping and assaulting/breaching.Can detect explosives nearby.
Shadow Company Black Arrow:
A Blackarrow is Shadow Company defenders varriant more inclined on attacking aircraft.Able to "lazerlock" their weapons for a high amount of fire till its clip of rockets are unloaded.
Shadow Company(drone) operator,
Rank 2 Vanguard Nothing more to add other then the normal vanguard other then they can use antigarrison drones directly at any target they like.
Shadow Company defender,
Rank 2 Ranger thats merged with a missle defender.SMAW's only for AT purpases only.(May add a lighter antiair option in the future)
Shadow Company Pathfinder,
Rank 2 Pathfinder that has no damage penalty with a silencer but cannot move stealthily while carrying the huge silenced weapon and has less maximum range.
When Silencers are on, full lethal damage potential but relocating either takes time to equip and take the silencer off or silencers off but can moved stealthily.Reveals when firing a slower more lethal round at greater distances.
Shadow Company Olyumpus teams,
A squad of Rank2 weapon team formed of of 3-4 men who can either attack at artilary like range or engage any sort of aircraft.Can use a multitude of warheads but is slow to move around by itself and relies on other Shadow Company personnel to protect their flanks.Armed with a vector SMG for close range hostilities.
Shadow Company Marine:
Rank 2 Marines, Marines are designed for power projection.Compared to their Ranger brethren, trade covert ops for firepower. Armed with an LMG rather than an assault rifle.They make up for this with more cost, and less mobility, however. They also cannot participate in covert raids.
Shadow Company Seal:
Rank 2 Seals that can plant C4 on any target it can get its hands apon.Although not able to take out any armoured target in a single hit like colonel burton.
Shadow Company Dammned Delta:
Rank 2 Deltas that can clean up toxins and radiation and set up autmaticly firing remote controlled mortars to set up ambushes or baiting enemey fire.(Kinda like metal storm)
Shadow Company Colonel bur- Im joking, Theres only one Burton and I dont think subfactions can get heros.
Armour list (Clean)
(Its assumed Rank 2 Shadow Company operatives are driving each one of theese.SANDFOR equipment bought In africa is not a part of this list but if mentioned It acts exactly the same)
Shadow Company Humvee:The standart and current humvee of the US millatary.Can be outfitted with TOW missles and can use recommishoned Hellfire Drones.
Shadow Company Airborne humvee:A much lighter version of the normal humvee, Its able to be setup easily like something from Ikea.Barely any mentionable to anything larger then small caliber arms.The fastest humvee thats easy to destroy any traces of.They hold less slots in transports compared to thier other counterparts as well.
Shadow Company Field Hopital: A rare sight to be see but still possible, theese field hosptails do more then patch up heavily wounded men on the ground.As they're seen more in the poorest regions in the world to "process" dying or soon to be dead organ donnors.They also conduct illegal medical practices and testing on whom ever they can find.
Shadow Company "Armadillo" Formerly known as the US Assault Humvee.This is the most armoured humvee In the armory able to protect agaisnt anything that isnt shells.Uses for assaults, this humvee fires a volley of missles at medium range while charging in and guning down anything in the sights of its turret.Used most of the times as an abuduction method to extract VIP or seach and rescue.
Shadow Company Vengence:A most mobile and less sturdy version of the Avenger Antiair system.This varriant of the Avenger is more inclined on neutralizing hostile rockets then attacking hostile aircraft.The speed of the "Vengence" is compareable to the other humvee varriants but Its top speed bites the dust of something like the ATV humvee or the Airborne humvee.
Shadow Company Vulcanvee:WIP- Possible to subsitute for the "Vengence" Antiairs somewhat lackluster AA
Shadow Company ATV Humvee:The much more agile varriant of the standart humvee.It has a vulcan minigun able to rain down a hail of lead more then all the others.Sadly It cannot be outfitted with a TOW launcher.Mediumly armoured and able to traverse rugged and troubled terrain with ease.
Shadow Company POW Truck: WIP
Hangar Inventory
B-52 "Iron Gauntlet"
This varrient of the B-52 is exclusive to Shadow Company.Because they still do not have the resources or the funds to field alot of theese stratigic aircraft.Theese greyish black B-52s are able to launch long ranged tommahawk cruise missles Into the operational area.Often out of harms way as replacing theese crafts are near Impossible.(Have a maximum of 5 and thats even pushing it)
Littlebird:Nothing much diffrent then the USA Littlebird till this time...
Osprey: Nothing much diffrent then the USA littlebird...
Starlifter:Nothing much diffrent then the USA Starlifter
Shadow Albatross: A USA Starlifter accustomed with equipment thats required to work as a mobile headquaters.Able to provide a tactical map and call in requinforcements and general powers.Usually the middle aircraft in a strikeforce, theese crafts relay orders and determine landing zones.Just like the GLA mobile command Center it needs to be on the ground to function.
Stealth Comache:A private "gift" from the CIA, theese exotic helicopters are given to the Elite pilots of Shadow Company.Theese comaches come with a special lazer targeting system able to guide long range tommahawks and other missles by painint a target.Any tommahawks in the area sent by Ironhawks or offshore submarines can be guided to that target.
No access to Hunter killers or Raptors or Auoras.
Somethings worth mentioning: Shadow Company has access to multiple entry points into a hostile area.Including glide suits and driftwings to be deployed from low alltitude helicopters or aircraft flying high above.
Possibly they might have a paladin or two restored from the battlefields of africa but unless spesificly mentioned for unique missions they generally dont like to stay along.Most weapons and tactics are offensive and manned.As nearly all units are "Elite" ranked they are able to self sustain and apply medical training.With this also comes years of mechanical training for pilots to maintain their crafts.
Unique upgrade: "Warfigther" Allows nearly all infantry to traverse over cliffs or water.
