The 44th Fireteam is a special operations unit belonging to Black Spiral. The team was formed around the Star Army of Yamatai's Chusa Yukari Freeman and reports directly to Taisa Nagase Nagako.
The 44th Fireteam is the setting of a plot by Doshii Jun. It is a closed SP/JP plot, with a per-player posting rate of once per week.
The plot revolves around several themes, including but not limited to: Nekovalkyrja origins, Neko psychology, old wounds of the Yamatai Star Empire, nonpower-armored combat, low-technology environments, horror and, most importantly, character development.
Former crewmembers of the YSS Miharu are targeted and emotionally manipulated by Black Spiral into a suicide mission to attack the SMX depot on Bizankro.
The primary objective is to obtain information on a new weapon called the “Rewriter Virus,” a string of Nekovalkyrja Operating System code wirelessly transmitted between Neko. The code revises the functions of the nanomachines that make up the Nekovalkyrja's body; it is speculated that the code can modify anything physically or mentally. So far, the only example is a Neko who has developed cancerous tumors and lesions that won't heal.
Tested by Black Spiral's leader, the newly minted 44th Fireteam fights its way out of the Black Spiral's base, steals a starship, and flees Yamatai. The vessel has no food and little water, but is packed to the brim with handheld weapons, along with a certain tank. With these assets, the team forges on.
The primary antagonists so far are Nagase and Dr. Nobumoto Shinichiro, a former PNUgen scientist, president and the "father" of all Nekovalkyrja.
The primary protagonists are below, but also include Miharu Clan members Nimura, Suzume and Tori.
