The Selous Scouts were founded in 3019 by Fredrick Selous, a Mercenary unit based around the concepts of Loyalty and Duty. in 3047 the Corps was decimated by a Capellan ambush whilst on a routine patrol. the Scouts now need to fill their ranks with professional pilots.

Founding Concepts


The Scouts are formed around two key concepts. The First and most important, is role play. this group is for RPer's above everything else, you can be the worst player to grasp a joystick, but if you've got the will to RP you can count yourself in.

The second ties in with the First, RP in game and out. The scouts are, as their name should suggest, a light unit. Therefore, in set piece battles the Scouts will be equipped and act as so, this doesn't mean Atlas pilots should ****** off, it means we may only have room for one or two assault mechs in each set piece match. The Scouts will use hit and run tactics, Ambushes and traps even if it means losing the match, however don't be afraid, this will only be occasionally. Essentially, matches that are to be added to the Scouts Canon will be strictly regulated in terms of what mechs one can use.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ranks


The system of command has yet to be organised yet, however there will be a set promotion system based around these concepts.

All Scouts will start out as cadets, when they have made 10 meaningful posts on the Forum (essentailly until they are settled in) they will be promoted to Private.

Every Rank above Private will be assigned by the Scout Commander (Selous) will have a command role, Sergeants commanding a single lance, Lieutenants 3, Captains 3 Companies etc etc etc. Special Ranks will be given to players who contribute meaningfully to the Canon/Scouts and as rewards for exceptional performance.

Command Roles will be handed out based on, initally, your RP ability, however if you fail in the field others will be promoted to fill your place.

The Chain of Command is absolute, if your superior orders you to jump in front of a charging atlas in your jenner, you don't ask why, how fast or when, YOU DO IT.

Thoughts and feedback?

Looks excellent Sparks, I like the colour scheme

[Fred Selous]

The Scouts need at least 6 more players minimum, to commence with mercenary duties. Don't be Shy, Apply!

My own dear, sweet Jenner in a Selous Scouts parade scheme:


And...an anonymous Cicada in parade scheme. Could be yours!
