New Horizons Security Force officer.

"Luna's a no-go if those NHSF fuckers are still trying to draft anyone with a pulse."
USG Ishimura crew member[1]

The New Horizons Security Enforcement Guard was the primary law and security enforcement agency on EarthGov's New Horizons Lunar Colony, effectively serving as a localized gendarmerie. It could be assumed that the entirety of the New Horizons Security Enforcement Guard was under federal control.

History[]

DS3 Unitologist Uprising

The Circle conducts executions on the New Horizons Security Force.

DS3 Isaac Dead Security Officer

The corpse of a security officer with Unitologist propaganda.

During the Circle's revolt on the New Horizons Lunar Colony, it is strongly implied that the Security Forces suffered heavy losses at the hands of Unitologists prior to the destruction of the Luna Marker shroud.

At some point between Robert Norton's contact with Isaac Clarke and Isaac's arrival to the DredgerCorp building, an entire company of Lunar Colony soldiers whom Isaac was to rendezvous with were completely massacred, and the majority of their bodies dumped into the lower offices below the balcony where Jacob Arthur Danik triggered the destruction of the Marker shroud. Upon first entering the building's lobby, there was a visible aftermath of a skirmish which took place, indicating that EarthGov forces were unable to effectively defend the complex and that efforts to repel the attackers were entirely futile, as there were no corpses of Unitologist Soldiers anywhere to be seen. It almost appeared as if the security force was caught off guard, as there was even a dead officer's corpse still at the front desk, showing that there was little time to react when Danik's forces breached.

Security necromorph

An officer is reanimated as a Fodder following the destruction of the Luna Marker's shroud.

It is unknown what fate the remaining EarthGov soldiers on the Lunar Colony faced, but it can be assumed that most if not all were wiped out, as the vast majority had already been killed in action or fled before the Necromorph outbreak even began, and the outbreak itself would have only greatly heightened the severity of the situation. During Isaac's escape from the infested colony, he was forced to fight numerous New Horizons Security officers who had been reanimated as Fodders, still wielding their hosts' police batons.

Trivia[]

  • The New Horizons Security Force is mentioned in Dead Space (2023) in a post-game text log titled "Life on the Sprawl", with an Ishimura crew member claiming that the NHSF was "trying to draft anyone with a pulse".
  • Compared to Titan Station Security Force units, these officers' uniforms appeared much more like how police uniforms could be expected to appear, with pieces of the armor displaying badges, division decals, and other additions that did not appear on uniforms used by Titan Station officers. New Horizons officer uniforms also utilized a more blue-green color scheme than Titan Station officers.
  • When arriving to the balcony of the DredgerCorp building where Danik apprehends Isaac, a higher ranking security officer is executed, and it can be seen that this officer uses the same model as Colonel Bartlett.
