As the Solarians, you stand as the primary human resistance to SolGov expansion. While lacking in the raw military mass that the government of Sol can bring to bear, the SRF fight to make up the disadvantage by the use of slightly more advanced weaponry, armor, and tactics.

In almost all circumstances, you will be hostile to the SolGov Marines and other associated operatives; only by administrator discretion should this change. When facing Xenomorphs, you may use any force necessary to guarantee your safety - just make sure to remember who the true enemy is.

The ranks and squad distribution in the SRF closely mirror those in the Marines. As such, the guides to each respective role can be effectively used interchangeably between the SRF and their SolGov counterparts. Note that the SRF will not have access to a flagship in most gameplay situations, eliminating their ability to use Fire Support, Vehicles, and most support granted by shipside roles.

As mentioned above, the SRF arsenal is limited due to lacking regular mainship access. However, they have several unique weapons and ordinance to make up for this disparity.

Notably, as the SRF view the Marines as their primary foe, most of the SRF arsenal is designed to specifically combat human hostiles, via the use of deflagration munitions or chemical warfare.

Additionally, the Combat Patrol SRF come with pre-set loadouts that may be selected upon reaching their loadout vendor. These will determine your primary weapon and equipment, and are variable based on class. ERT SRF receive default loadouts.

The V-21 is the principal submachinegun used by the Sons of Mars, designed to be used effectively one or two handed with a variable rate of fire. When fired at full speed it's performance is severely degraded unless used properly wielded, while the lower rate of fire can still be effectively used one handed when necessary. It uses 10x20mm caseless rounds.

Volkite weapons are the pride of Martian weapons manufacturing, their construction being a tightly guarded secret. Infamous for its ability to deflagrate organic targets with its tremendous thermal energy, explosively burning flesh in a fiery blast that can be deadly to anyone unfortunate enough to be nearby. The charger is a light weight weapon with a high rate of fire, designed for high mobility and easy handling. Ineffective at longer ranges.

Shots from volkite weaponry have a chance to 'deflagrate' any mob hit, based upon the damage caused after armor is taken into account. Deflagration causes the victim and anyone directly around them to burst into flame and suffer additional damage. Additionally, deflagration is strong enough to cause stagger and slowdown within 5 tiles of the firer.

Unique to the SOM's V-31 assault rifle is the built-in VA-61 micro rail launcher, an in-built railgun designed to fire so called “micro grenades”. By using railgun technology, the projectile does not need any propellant, helping greatly increase usable space for the payload. Note that unlike a normal grenade launcher, microgrenades must arm mid flight, detonating after travelling 3 tiles and releasing their payload. This means they are entirely ineffective at targets at very close range, although you may give someone a black eye from the impact damage. The “micro grenades” used by the system come in 4 variants, as follows:

Grenades: TGMC SOM micro grenade cluster.png Cluster Micro Grenades

A 10g micro grenade designed for the VA-61 micro rail launcher attachment. Comes in handfuls of 3 grenades, which each release 7 bomblets that themselves detonate over a wide area unless they impact something first. Each bomblet does 20 explosive damage and applies moderate slowdown and stagger over a small area. TGMC SOM micro grenade airburst.png Airburst Micro Grenades

A 10g micro grenade designed for the VA-61 micro rail launcher attachment. Comes in handfuls of 3 grenades, which each release 5 piercing projectiles. Each projectile deals 20 damage with 20 AP and 3 sunder, along with mild slowdown and stagger. TGMC SOM micro grenade incendiary.png Dragons Breath Micro Grenades

A 10g micro grenade designed for the VA-61 micro rail launcher attachment. Comes in handfuls of 3 grenades, which each release 5 incendiary piercing projectiles.Each projectile deals 15 damage, 5 AP and 1.5 sunder, in addition to igniting the target, igniting some tiles passed and causing very slight amounts of slowdown and stagger. TGMC SOM micro grenade smoke.png Smoke Micro Grenades

A 10g micro grenade designed for the VA-61 micro rail launcher attachment. Comes in handfuls of 3 grenades, which each release 5 smoke bomblets that themselves detonate in a curved row unless they impact something first. each bomblet creates a small smoke cloud, which together create a literal smokescreen.

Alongside a selection of standard grenades, the SOM utilize several chemical smoke grenades as part of their standard armament. The full SOM grenade loadout is listed below. Grenades: Emplacements Emplacement: Description: TGMC sentry cope.png COPE Sentry

The Centurion Omnidirectional Point-defense Energy sentry is a man portable, automated weapon system utilised by the SOM. It is activated in hand then thrown into place before it deploys, where its ground hugging profile makes it a difficult target to accurately hit. Equipped with a compact volkite weapon system and a recharging battery to allow for prolonged use, it can also take other volkite cells in a pinch. Has a fire delay of 0.2 seconds, with each shot dealing 20 damage. Ammo: TGMC ammo volkite sentry.png Volkite Nuclear Energy Cell
