* BadassArmy: While they do have a few failures to their name, Red Talon count among their ranks the best survivors in the game bar none. All of their recruitable agents are certifiable MasterOfAll who can get the benefits of almost every specialization in every skill. They also possess equipment beyond the U.S. Army's widest dreams, having handheld railguns and a vast drone system that delivers both supplies and fire support to their soldiers.
* CrutchCharacter: Red Talon soldiers are recruitable from the first minute of a playthrough (provided one has the prestige for it) and come bundled with extremely high skills and good equipment. However, they also tend to cost more in upkeep than normal survivors, and though they are MasterOfAll, Red Talon soldiers do lack the drop kick ability their normal counterparts have, which can instantly stun a feral. Their weapons also often demand a unique ammunition type that can't be found in the world, requiring the Red Talon unique workshop to make more. If given time to skill up, regular survivors with regular high-end weapons can be almost as good as Red Talon for half of the cost.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: You can play as them by spending prestige points, and all of them start out with extremely high stats, having fought the zombie war for quite some time.

* InformedAttribute: They are said to be a ruthless organization that enslaves survivors under their protection. While that is likely true, we see [[OffstageVillainy none of that in-game]], and Red Talon offers nothing but assistance to the player community. They even drop free weapon caches to the player and provide military-grade ordnance to any community that truly makes a difference.

The U.S. government is still around, but they have seemingly abandoned all attempts to save the country.

!! Kamilla "Kami" Báez
A newer member of the Network and an escapee from the rumored "Camp Eerie", she can be heard from time to time on the radio. This can include hearing her escape as she broadcasts it, or being another voice to chime in on the radio sometimes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tends to throw out cold and witty remarks directed at Red Talon, and also makes quips as she gives out general advice.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Compared to the rest of the Network's more non-confrontational style of operating, Kami is a lot more harsh on those who could be seen as enemies, namely Red Talon.
* UnreliableNarrator: Played with. While there has been numerous pieces of evidence from different sources (notes you can find, Sasquatch's SuspiciouslySpecificDenial, etc.), one of the lead developers [[WordOfGod Brant Fitzgerald]] left a comment on a reddit post that whether or not Kami is lying about Camp Eerie or not is left purposefully vague.

Due to how finicky traders can be, you could see one as early as the first day or two in a run, or never at all.

* AffablyEvil: While the jury is still out on the evil part, the radio voices for Red Talon (namely Theresa) have no problem addressing their lack of care for those who don't fall in line with them, [[ImpliedDeathThreat even making certain comments]] about opposing survivors in some cases.

* TheFederation: They claim to be this, allowing towns and partners under their protection to do as they please and exerting very little oversight. This is what they use to excuse the rumor that one of their camps is secretly running a slavery operation, since they have no control over it.
