Allies of the Joes and Cobra are many. Sometimes they are very close to one side or the other, but they do not directly serve under General Hawk or under the nefarious Cobra Commander. Some of them are perfectly independent, while others serve other nations, mercenary units or even Clans. There is also the strange corporation known as Halo Corporation, which popped up right as the Clan Invasion began and now financing massive amounts of humanitarian technology and assistance to anyone needing it, while hiding a dark side with their WildC.A.T.S. strike teams always at the ready.
The Oktober Guard
To fight the Clans, terrorists and other ne’er-do-well, House Liao also created their own special forces team, called the Oktober Guard, after an old Terran revolutionary military unit. While not as well-organized and equipped as the Joes, the Oktober Guard has been thrown into the fight against Cobra quickly and efficiently at the behest of Sun-Tzu Liao. Their action often gets them in conflict with the Joes as well, as both teams often have similar objectives, but with different desired outcomes.

Halo Corporation
The brainchild of Jacob Marlowe, Halo Corporation appeared out of nowhere on New Earth after Marlowe left the Magistracy of Canopus. The main work of the Corporation appears to be humanitarian and beneficial technology, from water reclamation to atmosphere purification, including a plan to repair and repopulate Venus. All this new technology terrifies the Word of Blake and Cobra, both of which would prefer the Inner Sphere to be divided and unable to recover so they can take over, but Halo has a secret weapon against that: the WILDC.A.T.S. (Covert Action Teams).

A group of strange individuals have been floating around the Joes and Cobras, with their own ideals and desires. Those oddballs sometimes help the Joes or Cobras, oftentimes have their own adventures in which our heroes get swept into.
