[*]Description: The 1st Shocktrooper Cohort is a Veteran Combat unit in the Illmane system. They are skilled at warfare and heavily armored. They fight primarily force on force, and can take a beating. The 1st Shocktroopers are designed to strike the enemies of the Imperium hard and sacrifice themselves if need be in glorious battle. Led by a Sergeant and a Commander, bearing the Golden Eagle as their coveted standard, they are stalwart defenders of the Throne.

- Combat Function: The 1st Shocktrooper Cohort is a Veteran Infantry Unit. Deployed strategically they are the second line of Combat during an invasion. They wait until the enemy has been worn down by the initial fodder, find the weakpoints in the enemies strategy and then smash forwards with all their might. Heavy armor and weapons are their favorite, and total destruction is their mantra. If they lose their Standard one out of every ten men is put to sword for the disgrace. Morale is always high.

The 1st Shocktrooper Cohort is the pride of the 1st Legion. They are considered the true professionals, above even the Illmane Guard. Where the other Cohorts fail, the 1st Shocktroopers are sent to carry the day. They are a long standing unit, who've seen action since the Dark Harvest event in every major conflict of the Illmane System.
