Combat Function: Front-line Soldiers of the Order of the Silver Jedi designed to use vehicles to respond quickly to multiple attacks, or to rapidly advance in order to develop the best positions on the battlefield in the early stages of a prolonged conflict. As well, they are trained to push quickly into (and possibly over or through) enemy lines and deploy troops quickly to secure those lines.
Strengths:
- Well-Trained: The Antarian Rangers that are part of the 666th are some of the best trained troops in the whole of the Silver Jedi's armed forces. Many are veterans, but even new recruits are forced to train for weeks and months before ever being considered for a deployment. These troops know how to hold up under fire and even the green ones will generally hold their own.
- New Equipment: The 666th utilizes all of the newest and best equipment the Silver Jedi have to offer. This includes the new updated Mk. II Katarn Armor, specialized firearms and powerful ground transports to take them into and out of battle.
- Susceptible to Aircraft/Spacecraft: Since the regiment relies so heavily on large ground transports, this makes them an easy target for air strikes and orbital bombardments. It also makes stealth operations next to impossible on anything resembling a large scale.
- Difficulty Moving in Rough Terrain: When it comes to its transport philosophy, the 666th trades the adaptability of foot movement for the speed of mechanized transport. As a result, the transports used by the 666th can and do have difficulty moving efficiently through muddy, snowy, rocky or otherwise difficult terrain.
The 666th is a mainline Battalion level unit of the Antarian Rangers. It is a well trained force of approximately 1000-1500 soldiers that uses heavy land transports to move about the theater of war. It was conceived of by Ranger Command as a unit with the speed and strength to respond quickly to multiple attacks, or to advance rapidly into an enemy position before unloading troops to engage. As of this date, this regiment has not been seen wide-scale combat, but many of the Officers and NCO's have been handpicked from other battle-hardened units within the Rangers Corps.
