GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: Iron Legion Troopers
• Affiliation:
  • Army: DuPorcelen Iron Legion
  • Faction: Empire of the Lost
• Classification: Infantry (Standard Ground-Soldier)
• Description: The Troopers of the Iron Legion are the most commonly encountered forces within that army's ranks. They are the most numerous due to their common rank, and make up the backbone of the Iron Legion's fighting power. They are dressed in full-body covering from head to toe. Over their body armor, Troopers can be recognized for having a green coat, as well as green Duroplast helmets. Their faces are covered by environmental protection masks incorporated into their helmet's design. The goal of their uniform's design is to ensure that all Troopers look as identical as possible as a way to have a menacing apperance to potential foes. Their arms and armor are all standardized accordingly, and it is very clear to tell who is a Trooper of the Iron Legion due to their unique appearance.

COMBAT INFORMATION:

• Unit Size: Large - Due to being rank-and-file soldiers of the DuPorcelen Iron Legion, they are the most numerous of its soldiers and have larger unit size accordingly.
• Unit Availability: Common - Due to being the common rank-and-file of ground soldiers for the Iron Legion, this categorization is applied.
• Unit Experience: Trained - Troopers of the Iron Legion are subjected to strict standards of training. Much of the training comes from the tradition of the Eternal Empire that makes up their primary heritage, however the other aspects of training are so that they are able to fight in some of the most inhospitable and grueling battlefields like the world of Lotho Minor where the Iron Legion was founded.
• Equipment:
  • Iron Legion Standard Armor (Trooper Aesthetic)
  • S5A Service Rifle
    
    
• Combat Function: [ Describe this unit's general function in combat. Put things like tactics, habits, goals, how they interact with other parts of a larger army, do they need support or are they the support, etc. ] When the Iron Legion is deployed to a combat zone, the Troopers are the most common type of soldier on the ground. Strict discipline is drilled into each Trooper through training, making each Trooper exhibit a stoic and near-dour demenour when encountered. They do not speak much unless acknowledging orders, alerting fellow soldiers to happenings on the battlefield, and providing instructed phrases to any encountered civilians. Troopers are strictly trained to have the upmost discipline as a means of "earning their Eternal heritage." As a result, they follow orders to the letter, or die trying. With Troopers, their tactics are similar to that of other common ground soldiers used in other armies.
