| Commanded by the pragmatic Isabelline Snow, the Order of the | |
| Silver Crescent (OSC) is not officially listed within the ranks | |
| or records of the Lunar Guard. Operating as a independent | |
| surgical strike team, the OSC handles their work through filed | |
| contracts instead of official, state orders from the Lunar | |
| Guard. Interestingly enough, most of their contracts are written | |
| and approved by the Lunar Guard itself, allowing the OSC to | |
| operate freely without being weighed down by the rules and | |
| regulations of the Guard. As a result, however, the Lunar Guard | |
| can not be held liable for damages or anything else that might | |
| go wrong during an operation. | |
| The system was devised by Isabelline as a clever way to escape | |
| the militaristic and political dogma within the higher ranking | |
| individuals such as herself, and despite the doomsayers who's | |
| minds still echoed the past, the OSC has thrived. Unfortunately, | |
| the system was not perfect. Isabelline herself, for example, | |
| plays both sides of the court as she balances her duty to the | |
| Lunar Guard and her leadership to the OSC, causing tension | |
| between some of her superiors as she tends to play by her own | |
| rules. However, her leadership and skills were irrefutable as | |
| the OSC's wildly successful campaigns piled up, earning them a | |
| sort of celebrity status and reputation inside the Lunar Guard. | |
| The OSC comprises of merely six members- small enough to go | |
| unnoticed, but large enough to get the job done. Depending on | |
| the nature of the contract, the OSC generally swoop in and | |
| complete mission objectives in record time with minimal losses, | |
| focusing first and foremost on the protection of its own members | |
| and anypony else unfortunate enough to get caught in the | |
| crossfire. Get in, flip tables, bust some heads, and get out. | |
| Contracts fall into one of five classes, each carefully reviewed | |
| by Isabelline before posting to her group. | |
| Class A- Lunar Guard contracts. The most common. Generally | |
| written as a call for support to the main force or a clutch | |
| operation that requires speed, stealth, and accuracy. | |
| Class B- Other military contracts, mostly from the Royal Guard | |
| or in rare instances, the Crystal Empire. The second most common | |
| contract after word of their successful operations got around. | |
| These generally don't differ too much from the Class A | |
| contracts, although greater care and more intelligence might be | |
| needed to avoid mishaps. | |
| Class C- Business contracts. Not limited to just wartime | |
| efforts, the OSC are also capable of leading strikes against | |
| those that cause trouble. Bandits, criminals, violent usurpers | |
| and the like. Pre-op investigations are needed here to avoid | |
| unnecessary conflict, or worse, attacking an undercover group. | |
| Class D- Contracts from unregistered sources, mostly from | |
| specialized groups that wish to remain anonymous. The rarest | |
| contracts of them all. Isabelline personally investigates these | |
| claims for authentication, gaining allies in many places as a | |
| result. | |
| Class S- Urgent. Any of the above classes could fit into this | |
| category. Although rare, the entire group must be ready at the | |
| drop of a hat in case these ever pop through. | |
| WIP- More about weapons and members later. If your character | |
| would like to join for whatever reason, I can easily swap them | |
| out with one of the default members. | |
