Divisions & Squadrons
Expeditionary Ground Forces – Also nicknamed "Star Marines", the Terra Star Expeditionary Ground Forces are the all encompassing ground fighting unit of the organization. While primarily made out of platoon-sized infantry units, they are supported by a wide ranging arsenal of heavy weapons and vehicles. From the FS-9 Light Machine Gun to mighty Nova Tonk, TSEGF is a versatile, well trained force.
Expeditionary Star Fleet - Sometimes referred as "Terran Starfleet" or "StarSec" as well, this aerial and space superiority force is a well oiled machine, capable of fielding various sizes of fighters, gunships and even UEE surplus Javelin-class Destroyers. Expeditionary Star Fleet is deployed in missions with varying conditions, from securing a trade route to wrestling for territorial control.
Pathfinding, Construction & Research Corps (PCRC) - The PCRC is the pioneering arm of Terra Star Expeditionary and true carriers of frontier spirit, leading the way forward, both literally and figuratively, as well as constructing outposts that either serve the Star Expeditionary or the future settlers of designated area.
Industrial, Commerce & Engineering Division (ICED) - Be it newly constructed outposts or that one Drake rustbucket Expeditionaries love, they can't function without a solid team of resource gatherers, engineers, damage control teams and suppliers. Industrial, Commerce & Engineering Division ensures that TSE always have enough resources to produce more and every piece of equipment under use lasts to the test of time. In addition, merchants, arms dealers and tech moguls find a home away from home, to sell surplus equipment or produced exports to verified third parties.
