- Combat Function:
- Zealous: Every soldier in the 71st and every unit in CompForce have a zealous loyalty to Imperial ideals and to the Imperator. The New Imperial Order won’t find an extremely loyal soldier outside of CompForce.
- Special Training: The 71st are not stereotypical soldiers that are thrown blindly in suicidal charges. Along with basic training, these soldiers receive enhancing training with: survival, reconnaissance, CQC, sabotaging, and other skills as an unconventional unit.
- Limited Supply: When deployed in its operations, the 71st will face the fact that supplies and munitions will be limited as well as any aid from the New Imperial Order; therefore, it’s important for the Vipers to know how to survive and use their munitions economically. Sometimes they will receive aid from locals they’ve befriended and support their cause.
- Outmanned and Outgunned: The 71st will hardly operate on the front lines and will avoid any lasting combat. Any combat they see will be short-term missions that don’t require much munitions and soldiers. Reason for this is that they will be deployed in small numbers due to how delicate they operate.
- Zealous: As part of their training, these soldiers are not afraid of dying for their nation and the ideals it represents. They’d rather die in a fight, then surrender themselves to the enemy.
The 71st was formed after the events of the Battle of Bastion between the New Imperial Order and the Sith Empire. With the newly formed COMPNOR it began to train cadets from its Sub-Adult Group and hand selected from the Stormtrooper Corps, specifically Scout Troopers and other recon soldiers with zealousy in their duties to the ideaology of the New Imperial Order. Very few operatives of this Combat Group include deserters of the Sith Empire, an example being Djorn Bline who was the former Grand Moff of Foreign Intelligence for the Sith Empire. Him and a few operatives in his unit, those that decided to defect, were transferred over, after interrogation and psychological probing, to take the reigns of one of CompForce’s units that would specialize in the talents and skills they possess. Unlike the the 45th, a unit that charges relentlessly in the front lines with bravery, the 71st would be more sophisticatedly trained; however, it’s reported to have more casualties and a low graduation rate from the Sub-Adult Group that pursues to join the ranks of the 71st due to the extreme training regimen it demands from its trainees. Trained Scout Troopers would have an easier time passing the requirements and would often guide their younger comrades from the Sub-Adult Group, but only to those that were superior than their peers.
Unofficially the 71st call themselves “Ghost Vipers”, named after the serpent native to the Garollian System that is known to have rapid, swift movements with its tongue. Fitting as the Combat Group’s commander is reported to have a “thing” of nicknaming himself after snakes.
