GENERAL INFORMATION
Unit Name: 209th Sith-Imperial Battalion ('Voidlighters')
Affiliation:
Equipment:
Armaments
Vehicles
Description:
The 209th's personnel follow the trends of armament, dress and insignia among the wider Imperial Legion, with the only variations relating to their battalion iconography and the settlement on urban environment camouflage for their armour and BDUs. Companies are denoted over comms. by Aubesh alphabet, following by the relevant unit and squad position number (eg: 'Kappa 3-6' would denote the commander of the third AT-HE squadron's commander.
Their battalion's emblem - aside from the standard Legion crest - is a brazier surmounting twin crossed swords, with their battalion numeral written in Imperial Aubesh beneath.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Unit Size: Medium
Unit Availability: Uncommon
Unit Experience: Trained
Combat Function: While broadly similar to the organisation, armament and tactics of the wider Sith-Imperial Legion, the 209th Battalion is primarily specialized in mechanized warfare - utilizing effective use of fire support, walkers and fast-moving infantry - and in urban operations. Semi-independent command by their CO, in conjunction with other forces, allows them a degree of flexibility to pursue their objectives with minimal 'locking in' of their unit into otherwise-disastrous assaults. On garrison duty, the 209th follows variations in Legion occupation doctrine laid out by their commander, which is comparatively lenient compared to some within the Empire.
Strengths:
Imperium's Mailed Fist
Weaknesses:
Maintenance Nightmare
