The '''Rescue Corps''' is an organization that aims to save individuals who are stranded in remote locations. It was founded by the [[Minor characters#Shepherd family|Shepherd family]] on planet [[Giya]]. During {{p4}}, it consists of 7 humanoid individuals and a space dog named [[Oatchi]], who are sent to rescue [[Captain Olimar]] from a crash landing on [[PNF-404]]. However, the Rescue Corps crash as well, and must be rescued themselves by the [[rookie Rescue Officer]], their newest recruit. The Rescue Corps uses two ships for its missions: the [[S.S. Shepherd]] and the smaller [[S.S. Beagle]].

==History==
The Rescue Corps' history before ''Pikmin 4'' is detailed in the [[Rescue Journal]], mostly the "Shepherd Family History" section. The organization was founded for charity by the [[Minor characters#Shepherd family|Shepherd family]] soon after their settlement of planet [[Giya]]. Although Giyans had kept dogs for at least as long as they had lived on the planet, the 36th captain of the Rescue Corps was the first one to order that they be trained for rescue work. The technology needed for space travel was somehow lost before the Rescue Corps' founding, so the organization was only active there for most of its history. Several generations after Giya reinvented space travel, the Rescue Corps branched out into space and gained members from other worlds.

== Members ==

As of ''Pikmin 4'', the Rescue Corps has members from the planets [[Giya]], [[Ohri]], [[Nijo]] and [[Karut]]. Each member has an official role within the Rescue Corps, and as they are rescued, grant more options to the [[Rescue Command Post]]. The group uses the [[S.S. Shepherd]] for larger travels and the [[S.S. Beagle]] for exploration on a planet's surface.

== Trivia ==
* The suit color the player selects for the [[rookie Rescue Officer]]'s spacesuit determines the color of the Rescue Officer suits and ID badges, Shepherd's bandanna, the [[S.S. Beagle]], the [[S.S. Shepherd]], and the flags that indicate a [[cave]]'s full investigation.
