The 2. Commando Regiment was a clandestine special forces unit under the joint operational control of the Federal Army and the Federal Intelligence Agency. Its purpose was to perform covert operations against the enemies of The Oceanykan Council. The defunct Thomas Badfellow infamously used this unit to suppress and assassinate his political enemies, including foreign operatives and political operators trying to sway Oceanyka into the sphere of influence of the Cold War’s superpowers.
Another one of the 2. Commando Regiment’s missions was to perform field and combat tests on experimental weaponry and equipment produced by Project TYRANT. As such, when it rebelled, it was the only combat unit trained for and equipped with cutting-edge gear such as plasma and laser weapons, as well as first generation Power Armour 🦾.
When the Oceanykan Revolution broke out and the Australian Emergency Committee was activated, the 2. Commando Regiment defected almost wholly, spreading out across the continent. Its former members now act as the Committee’s armed wing, occasionally recruiting promising potential commandos from Oceanyka’s population… often not voluntarily.
