The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment (commonly referred to as "Delta"), initially formed in the late 20th century and re-formed again in 689 AS, is made up from the most distinguished and skilled personnel from all of Liberty's military branches. Highly trained and efficient and equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, Delta operators conduct various asymmetric warfare operations in order to enforce Libertonian interests, on the ground as well as in space.

Synopsis

Only the best of the best are allowed to serve in the legendary 1st-SFOD. To be even considered just a candidate for the rigorous training procedures one need to complete to be admitted into the 1st, one has to fulfill high expectations, and only a few of those that actually make it into the 1st's special training camp complete their courses successfully. These that do, however, can be considered true masters of their art: be it conventional, unconventional or psychological warfare, be the battlefield on the ground or in space, be there a need for combat or negotiation - the operators of the 1st are well prepared for it.

Objectives

The 1st's objectives include, but are not limited to, counterterrorism, dealing with hostage situations, protecting high-level VIPs, reconnaissance, drug raids and surgical strikes - however, we are not a police force. Fighting low-level piracy, smuggling and similar forms of crime is the duty of the LPI; while we do not tolerate individuals engaged in such activities, we will not actively hunt them down.

History

To be edited later.

Relationship to the Navy

Since the 1st belongs to a different branch of the armed forces than these employed in the Liberty Navy, 1st Operators do not possess any (legal) authority over Navy soldiers and vice-versa. Joint operations under a unified command, usually carefully planned but also sometimes called in spontaneously in cases of emergency, take place quite frequently.

Recruitment

Currently, the 1st is officially recruiting, and is looking for players with following abilities:

• Above-than-average roleplaying skills in any situation
• Willingness to learn our terminology, chain of command, rules of engagement etc
• Willingness to be a good teamplayer with a sense of fair play
• Knowing and obeying the server rules

What does not matter to us:

• Your flying skills. You will learn as you go.

We also expect our members to work out and write a short biography as well as to regularly report their actions in our message dump (which will be opened as soon as we grow in size and everything is fully set up).

On a final notice - we mainly utilize fighters for our combat operations. Higher ranking officers will have access to a Gunboat and XO as well as CO of the unit will have access to a Cruiser which acts as our flagship and mobile carrier. For the time being, we will not use any Battleships.

Ships used

• One Liberty Assault Battlecruiser as our flagship
• Liberty Gunboats for our COs
• Armored Transports
• Havoc Mk II bombers
• Avenger VHFs
• Liberator LFs

Civilian ships may be requested for consideration.
