[*] [b]Blackbeards[/b]: Formed in 2008, the Blackbeards or BBs are Cygnus's spec ops unit. Formed of elite operatives selected from the best of Cygnus combat personnel, Blackbeards are trained and equipped for clandestine and covert operations, and are specialized in espionage and recon missions in highly hostile environments. On HH, they've been employed by the CIA to rescue a missing team of SOG operatives. [color=red][b] In case you forgot, this is us, soldier. Now, I don't wanna boast or anything, but we're pretty damn good at our job, and our mission record's almost perfect; we gained a reputation for getting shit done, no matter what, so you'd better live up to that. Also, if I hear any complaints about the cheesy name, I'm going to personally oversee your two months spent cleaning the barrack's bathrooms with your toothbrush.[/b] [/color]

[*] [b]CIA[/b]: The CIA is the foreign intelligence agency of the USA. Mainly tasked with intelligence gathering and counterespionage, the CIA also performs covert operations across the globe in order to safeguard American national security and American interests. On HH, a CIA SOG team had infiltrated the facility on an unknown mission, but communications with them have been silent for circa one month, and Cygnus has been employed to confirm their status. [b] [color=red] Man, fuck the CIA. If it were for me I'd leave those guys to rot in whatever hole they were shoved, but you know, they pay us for this shit. Anyway, the idiots wouldn't tell us what those poor bastards were after when they sent them, which means it's probably something very embarassing. No need to ask questions though, you just need to find them, see if they still breathe, and report back. Simple, ain't it?[/color] [/b] [/list] [/hider]

[*] [b]UN[/b]: The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization created in 1945 aimed at promoting peace and cooperation between different countries. Across the globe, the UN has in recent years begun to take a firmer stance on peacekeeping, turning its peacekeepers (known as blue berets) into a standing, permanent army, which is used to enfore peace in regional warzones. [color=red] [b] Ever since the crisis in Germany in 1990, the blue berets really stepped up their game. They used to be just troops "loaned" from various countries to the UN: not anymore. And they've taken a more radical approach to peacekeeping too: when I was in Erithrea in 2011, the fuckers spotted us in one of their off-limits zones and shelled us without asking questions. That's kind of rude coming from a humanitarian organization. [/b] [/color]

[*] [b]NATO[/b]: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, created in 1949, is an intergovernmental military alliance led by the US comprising most nations of the so-called Western Bloc, rival to the USSR-led Warsaw Pact. The organization has an integrated military structure, and has intervened in numerous war theatres in Europe and the Middle East. Current member states are the US, Canada, the UK, France, Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, West Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece and Turkey. [b] [color=red] Ah, the West. These are the guys responsible for defending it, as you may know, and they spent the last 25 years alternating between expanding their arsenals and collectively shitting themselves in response to Soviet actions. Oh, and also occasionally carpet bombing Serbians. That too. [/color] [/b]

[*] [b]Warsaw Pact[/b]: the Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutal Assistance (Договор о дружбе, сотрудничестве и взаимной помощи), informally known as the Warsaw Pact, is an intergovernmental organization founded in 1955 as the Eastern counterpart to NATO; it comprises the Soviet Union as well as most European states of the Eastern Bloc (East Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary), in addition to two states which are not yet full members of the alliance (Serbia and Albania). Like NATO, the Warsaw Pact has an integrated military structure, which was deployed to further Soviet interests in the whole world. [b] [color=red] [i]Союз нерушимый республик свободных...[/i] You know, hadn't I been American, I would have probably joined the Red Army or something. Anyway, the Eastern Bloc has spent the 1990s and the early 2000s licking their wounds after the USSR risked collapsing on itself; now, the Reds are back with a vengeance, and it looks like they want to turn the Middle East into their new turf. Seems like the capitalist pigs ain't the only ones who like oil, huh?[/color] [/b]

[*] [b]Peace Sentinels Network[/b]: founded in 2001, the Peace Sentinels Network is a world organization comprising most of the world's PMCs (including Cygnus),  aimed at preventing conflicts between different PMCs from escalating excessively: in particular, PSN conventions forbid from using nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, as well as forbidding terrorist acts and other actions directed towards civilians. PSN was met with approval from the UN, and was described as a "United Nations of PMCs". [b] [color=red]Man, I really hate politics. Anyway, the PSN was formed so that nobody gets hurt too much and to safeguard civilians that get involved in conflicts between PMCs. I've been told that so far, it worked, more or less.[/color] [/b] [/list] [/hider]
