Please note that journals listed here are journals that are mod-approved as the "canon" versions for Hunter Academy's specific universe. Since this is a DR, we of course allow copies, but only the ones that are listed here are the ones approved as being from this world.

You can see a full list of approved natives here. You can also see player characters/offworlders who've passed the Maverick Hunter tests here. Names that are listed just as that (without a journal or a placeholder for one) are NPCs and never outright played, merely there for flavor/players to reference.

A special strike unit that tends to handle the more dangerous or risky tasks, which is why it's been also dubbed the "Shinobi" unit despite the fact that stealth isn't required.

This unit focuses on strength and power in various ways, as well as both mental and physical endurance. Because of this and because of the very dangerous nature of their typical missions, the bar to get into it is very high. New members are not often accepted and to even be considered one has to be able to endure and keep going under Commander Zero's harsh training.

Like the name suggests, this unit is not deployed on its own. Instead, it's kept at the base on alert and ready to go at a moment's notice to reinforce or backup any other unit that is currently in the field.

This unit focuses on overall endurance, adaptability, and patience. Because they're the overall reserves, those of this unit must be able to mesh with any of the other units so that they can provide proper assistance and backup. They must also be able to work well with others more than any other unit and be willing to take orders from someone other their commander if the need arises.

Much like the reserves unit, the backup unit exists in order to make sure that the other units have enough people and power to do what they need to. Unlike the 1st Unit, however, the Backup unit doesn't tend to integrate with the units they're going to help. Instead, they simply join the field as necessary to provide support and assistance without actually answering to the unit that they're helping.

Much like the 1st, this unit focuses on endurance, adaptability, and patience, but working outside of your group is less important in this one, and those of this unit only ever answer to their own commander.

This unit's main purpose is exactly what it says: a quick as possible response to whatever issue happens to crop up. While not as dangerous as the missions the 0th take on, this unit is still a high-risk one, considering that they rush out onto the field with only the bare amount of information.

The Hunters in this unit must be able to stay calm under any circumstance. They must also be able to prepare themselves in a very short amount of time, as well as work with very limited supplies and information.

This unit is one of the five specialty units, alongside the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 13th. It deals with major threats that are ground-bound in some way, and is one of the heavy combat units that the Hunters possess.

Being a simple, direct unit, most of those in it are geared for combat of varying types. While there are a few back-up of those who can function in areas other than just the ground, they're more an emergency trick or help than anything else.

This unit is the one that tends to make major, decisive strikes in battle. Geared more for quick and destructive battles rather than drawn-out wars, they're deployed mostly just to sweep a weakened opponent or weaken a strong one so that other units can finish it off.

Those in this unit are made for power above all else. Speed is also an important factor, but as long as they aren't slow and they can bring strong weaponry to bear, it's enough. Most of those in this unit also have a weakness of low durability, having sacrificed that for the sake of more strength.

pending.

This unit is the "spy" and intelligence unit of the Hunters. While they can fight as well as any other unit, their main focus is mostly on information gathering, organizing, recovery, and use. It is the one that gets the detailed information the rest of the Hunters use, and the ones that slip quietly into enemy territory for the sake of getting more.

Those in this unit, while strong in their own ways, favor silence, stealth, and agility above all else. Because it's primarily an information recovery unit, flashy or high-destructive weapons tend to be out, and they instead favor ones that can be used quickly and are hard to detect.

As its name suggests, this unit is the one where "the best of the best" tend to be placed. Besides the 0th Unit, this is the most powerful unit of the Maverick Hunters, and it deals with missions of all types and danger levels (above a certain threshold).

Like the 0th Unit, the 17th doesn't accept applications for new members all that often, despite X's active involvement in the training and testing of offworlders. Instead, most of those who get into this unit are ones that X has personally asked for, with anyone else having to go through some strict training and testing to even have a chance.

Navigators are the backbone of the Maverick Hunters, and one of the most prized positions. This is because, without Navigators, the Hunters in the field would be almost completely blind and information would be much slower in getting to them and from them.

While a vast majority of Navigators do tend to be female, there is no hard and fast rule, just as there is no hard and fast rule about combat Hunters only being male.

While Navigators are sometimes considered their own separate unit (just helping out whatever unit currently needs it), some Navigators are assigned to a specific unit and focus their efforts on learning about their fellow members and how best to help them.

For the sake of ease and safety, all offworlder Navigators are required to join a singular unit, though they may offer their services to others as long as it doesn't hurt their own unit.
