While saving the life of Gregory Turner, she was forced into combat with an Avatar of the EI. She emerged from this combat victorious, but her body was broken.

Often found assisting Palavi in the medical ward of the adh-Dhiʼb, he is described as a kind and gentle man with a wise,old smile under his beard.
Mosa’id awwal Rashid Toma(NCO)
- An avid and expert shooter of the team, Rashid is known as a risk taker. If there is a problem nestled high in a tower, Rashid is the individual for the job, but its also likely he may put himself in far more danger than necessary to do it.

Mukhtar
Molazim Rashika Shadid(Red Fury)
- A self prclaimed rival of Rashid, Rashika is a hunter par none. Working closely with her unit, she is swift and silent. Clear communications always preceeds her actions, and she uses her multispectral visor naturally to root out hidden threats.
Mosa’id Kalim Amari(Doctor)
- A field triage doctor who is quick to step into the fight to defend his compatriots, shotgun in hand, faith in his heart.
Mosa’id Badr Kalb(Viral Rifle)
- A respectable officer and squad leader. Badr is a recent inclusion to Task Force 29, and a recent graduate of the officers school. He was tapped for the Mukhtar program due to his veteran status, but this was only a day after Haqqislam High Command commisioned him. This series of events led to the busiest 6 months of his life before shipping out to Task Force 29, where he was taken to Al'Medinat first to undergo the Saeiqa Program, confirm the stable set of the serums and gene sequencing, and then immediatly shiped off to Officers Training School. The afternoon of graduation saw him on a ship to the outer rims.

Namur
Molazim Kepri Mostafa
- A soldier on loan from Akram Biosciences, Kepri is a capricious, and sly woman. Known for her cat eyes, and predeliction for super human stunts, she is currently running through field tests of the Sunur Super Soldier Program. When operating she is often found advancing swiftly and silently into the enemies lines to wreak havoc. A woman who is the type to act quickly and then communicate, it is not uncommon to find her attached to Fahims unit if for nothing else than to provide some means of control.

Maghariba Guard
Naqib Neith Issa (Maghariba Regiment Pilot)
- A quintissential professional, and pinacle of soldiery. Neith has a long and impressive record, even before joining the Maghariba Regiment. Similiar to Maih, she was a star pupil of the Officers Academy of Al-Khaafidif, excelling in all of her subjects. Following that she was on the frontlines of Paradiso leading multiple squads before being hand picked by the Maghariba Regiment. After a brief examination and grueling training period she was awarded piloting rights to a brand new Scorpion Main Battle TAG. From there she faced threats in the most dangerous areas of fighting, continouing to show her capabilities until she was finally transfered to Task Force 29.
Naqib Ishtar Almasi (Maghariba Regiment Pilot)
- Neiths TAGmate, Ishtar, is very similiar to herself, also a protege of the Officers Academy and veteran of Paradiso. She differs slightly in her tendency to fight more defensively than aggressively. Preffering ambushes and tactical retreats towards advantagous ground. They make a good pair.

Nahab Unit
Raqib Bahira “Pixie” Mikhail (Killer Hacker)
- Pixie is a sociopath. Dangerously intelligent, and quick, it is unknown if the Nahab program furthered her sociopathic tendancies or if this is just who she truly is. Quick to pull her viral blade, she is often let loose into enemy formations to do as she pleases.
Raqib Amanda Davis (Red Fury)
- While calling Amanda Davis calmer in comparison to Pixie is technically correct, Amanda is bloodthirsty in her own right. More calculating and objective than her Nahab sister, she is still a rash, and unpredictable force to work with.

Monstrucker
Caleb Sanford
- Caleb is not officially a member of Task Force 29, but he has never been asked to leave either. He assisted them on a mission Novvy Bangkok, getting Ein-213 back into the fight when a stray round knocked out a servo, and then assisted the remote back to its evac, and joined them. He was thanked for his services to the unit, and expected the captain to ferry the Monstrucker back to the Asteroid. This never happened, and Caleb Sanford has been billing High Command ever since. Some say the Captain simply forgot he was there, the real reason was that Caleb was simply very adept at helping to maintain the ships system. He and the ship appeared to simply have a connection that no other engineer had. So here, Caleb has stayed, the loud thumping of his grav boots a not uncommon sound in the halls of the ship.

Tuareg
Raqib Aharon Deichman (Hacker)
- A member of the Tuaregs of Bourak, Aharon, is a son of the Jewish settlers of the desert, and grew up learning how to control the cyberware and computers associated to some of the teraforming devices that his father was in charge of. As he grew up, he fell in love with a woman from one of the Tuareg tribes that frequented his settlement and joined them. After a few years, an accident befell his wife, and she tragically died. Her sister, Chasha was unable to save her even with her medical knowledge. After some time he left to join the Ramah Task Force, joining Chasha to hopefully be apart of something that can save others, where they were unable to save his wife.
Raqib Chasha Adelstein (Doctor)
- Sister in law of Aharon Deichman, she lost her love of the desert, and the enjoyment of her tribe when her sister succumbed to that very desert. Having gone to some of the great medical universities of Al'Medinat, she felt compelled to join something bigger than her, and to use her skills in the ability to save others. Joining the Ramah Task Force with her borther in law, the two were both stationed with Task Force 29, working closely in slave interdiction, and pirate hunting.

Rafiq
Ein-213 (Red Fury)
- A unique phenomenon, but not unheard of. The geist of this remote gained partial self awareness after its many hours of constant conflict, across multiple theaters. While remotes tend to have a short life span, and are often traded between units, their geists and memories wiped and updated, this never happened to Ein-213. The remote has been dedicated to the unit and has stayed relatively undamaged for years. This is the belief behind why it has a personality and cognitive thought now, having materialized it during the Kurage Crisis. Since this is against protocol and the single AI rule, the unit keeps it a secret as at this point in time, Ein-213 is an extremly capable soldier and beloved by the unit.
