Choose your Division

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

You must choose a Division to be a member of during your time on the Ardent.

Each of the Divisions are designed to have a specialism – a focus on one of the four gameplay areas – and things they have to rely on other Divisions for. The more difficult a task is, the more you’ll have to work together with other players outside of your Division.

Divisions

There are five departments on the Ardent, four of which are playable. A-COM, the Command Division, is an NPC faction.

KENOLAB

The science team, with a focus on research, advanced medical procedures, and chemical analysis.

MATTOCK

The security team, with a focus on defence, scouting, and peacekeeping.

TASKMINDER

The engineering team, with a focus on repairs, salvage, and crafting.

DIPLO

The intel team, with a focus on diplomacy, codebreaking, and morale.

If you wish to change division in-game, you will undergo training between events to swap your training. You will become able to use your new Division’s specialist equipment, and forget how to use your previous one’s.

Specialist Equipment

Some Equipment is colour coded and will have a Division’s logo on the back. These items can only be used by members of that Division.

Each Division’s specialist equipment is based on their gameplay focus of combat, biomed, engineering, or diplomacy. It will help tailor the Division towards their objectives, and give them the upper hand in certain situations. Divisions will have to work together to complete major event objectives and ensure the smooth functioning of the ship.
