information
The ISO.N Initiative is a highly militant nomadic group whose main directive is anti-mars resistance. They frequent areas of high Martian activity in order to combat and clear out inhabitants, securing the area for the Earth populus to reclaim. ISON is single handedly responsible for the destruction of thousands of Martian robotics, often dismantling the guards for parts to use in their own efforts. They are also known to actively document Guard activity, building an archive of instances for their own reference in order to better combat them. They highly prioritise electro and EMP weaponry, as well as having crafted combat robotics of their own. These combat robotics often double as vehicles and tools of transportation. ISON never remains in a single location for long, and it is widely accepted that the hypermobile group may have no single base of operations.
Relatively new in its establishment, ISO.N can be traced back 32 years, first instances recorded through much smaller combat efforts by its creator and founder, MATIJA SARIC. At this time, ISO.N is suspected to have been smaller in numbers, a max capacity of 20. Within its first 15 years of establishment, ISO.N lost over half of its forces in a cluster of focused attacks by Martian forces. This was thought to have been successful in disbanding the group. That same year, leader Matija Saric is determined to have been terminated by unrelated means.
LEADERSHIP passed on to NINA SAEHENG. Under new management ISO.N recovered from dismantling attempts and outgrew its former capacity, now boasting a team of up to 50 at any one time. They are highly active in relocating, and will often pass through stationary settlements to exchange combat forces in return for supplies. They are strictly non-hostile to Earth populus and will not engage in raid efforts against other settlements or nomadic groups. Will attack both human and robotic Martian forces on sight, kill directive. Robotics downed by ISO.N are rarely retrieved.

Known affiliations with SALUS, C-A-130 and THE FLEET NETWORK, F-CWE-133.
WEAPONRY
The ISO.N Initiative have preference for weaponry with anti-robotic functions, including electro weaponry and EMP weaponry, however also carry standard firearms and melee weapons.
​
They are most well known for their efforts in producing their own line of Robotics to combat Guardian of Phanes classes. The AI pertaining to these bots is not as developed as the Martian Guards, and rarely will they be seen unaccompanied. Their builds tend to be sturdy and heavy, preservation of the robot and protection of the rider in mind. In recent years, models have seen more variation, speed/agility builds sightings having been reported.
