The '''Rescue Corps''' is a group 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.

==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 as long as they had lived there, the 36th captain of the Rescue Corps was the first one to order that they be trained for rescue work. The people of Giya lost the technology needed for space travel at some point, so the Rescue Corps was only active there until spaceships were reinvented. The Rescue Corps then branched out and gained members from other worlds.

== Members ==

== 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.
* All of the Rescue Corps names are a play on different dog breeds. Similarly, the two ships, the [[S.S. Beagle]] and the [[S.S. Shepherd]], are also named after different dog breeds.
** [[Collin]]'s Japanese name is based on '''Collie''' dogs.
** [[Shepherd]]'s name is based on '''Shepherd''' dogs.
** [[Russ]]'s name is based on the "Jack '''Russ'''el Terrier."
** [[Dingo]]'s name is based on a type of canine, called a '''dingo'''.
** [[Yonny]]'s name alludes to the Papillon dog breed.
** [[Bernard]]'s name is based on the St. '''Bernard''' dog breed.
* The Rescue Corps' logo closely resembles the S.S. Shepherd as seen from the front.
* The Rescue Corps' logo is often accompanied by the [[Koppaite text]] {{kt|H|T|C|U}}, which transliterates to HTCU or HTOU.
