The Finnish Commonwealth Special Forces (FCSF) are the most elite unit in the Commonwealth Armed Forces, often referred to simply as The Iceborn by both allies and enemies. These operators are forged from the harshest environments, honed by advanced training that merges stealth, tactical superiority, and precision violence. The FCSF is not only a symbol of Finnish martial excellence but also a multinational task force that protects the Commonwealth’s interests across Earth, orbit, and beyond. The unit is modeled after counterparts such as the British SAS, U.S. DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six), and Finnish Utti Jaeger Regiment, combining the best doctrines, equipment, and psychological conditioning from all three. Structure & Divisions: Arctic Recon Command (ARC): Masters of survival and covert movement in extreme cold, trained to fight in total darkness and zero visibility. Often deployed in Arctic, tundra, and deep-space environments. Black Ice Unit (BIU): The assassination, sabotage, and extraction specialists. Known for zero-failure high-value target missions, infiltration of hostile government facilities, and deep-cover operations. Void Response Group (VRG): Specially trained to operate in The Void, including Zone 1 incursions and emergency containment of Void creatures. They wear modified Voidium-lined armor and wield experimental weapons. Echo Squadron: Elite rapid-deployment aerial assault and counterterrorism unit. Trained in urban warfare, boarding operations, and orbital insertions via drop pods or stealth craft. Training: FCSF selection is notoriously brutal. Recruits endure: Six months of Arctic survival training, Live-fire urban combat simulations, Psychological warfare resistance trials, Quantum disorientation tests (for Void-compatible teams), and Zero-G operations and orbital drop training Only 3% of candidates graduate from the full program. Those who do are considered the deadliest soldiers in the Commonwealth. Equipment: Frost-MK9 Combat Suit: A modular exosuit featuring temperature regulation, radar absorbent coating, and limited active camouflage. “Susi” Rifle System: A multi-caliber adaptive rifle equipped with AI-assisted targeting, suppressor systems, and smart-round integration. Voidium Blade: For Void missions, each operator is issued a black alloy combat knife capable of slashing through Phase Creatures and Null Matter anomalies. Known Operations: Operation Winter Howl (2028): Neutralized a rogue Noctvaris-aligned terrorist cell attempting to detonate a Voidium bomb beneath Diamond City. Project Portal Breach Response (2031): First human soldiers to survive prolonged contact with Zone 2 inside the Void. Extracted a downed science team and destroyed a rogue Titan embryo. Infiltration of Site-Acheron: Quietly dismantled a powerful mercenary fortress harboring stolen interdimensional weapons. No casualties. No evidence was left behind. Reputation: The FCSF is feared even among enemies who have never seen them. Survivors describe ghost-like soldiers that strike before alarms can sound, kill without hesitation, and vanish without a trace. Rumors claim some squads operate with artificial enhancements or Void-infused physiology—rumors the Commonwealth neither confirms nor denies.
