- Description: The Mandalorian Devastator unit wears an imposing power suit called a MAPS. The MAPS armor can be in any sort of color, in true Mandalorian fashion. The consistent trend between MAPS are their heavily armored appearance emblazoned with Mythosaur Skulls, Mandoa, and the Resol'nare. Sometimes trophies are worn about the waste of the MAPS. The MAPS will normally be seen supporting infantry squads at the front lines, defending an objective, or ambushing enemy infantry squads or light vehicles.
- Unit Size: Small (12)
- Unit Availability: Unique
- Unit Experience: Elite
- Combat Function: The Mandalorian Devastator is a Super-Heavy Infantry unit that acts like a force multiplier that can be deployed as a group of Devastators or as a singular asset. The Devastator provides heavy fire support to friendly squads, clears light vehicles, clears medium vehicles, low flying starfighters, and so forth based on the load out of the MAPS suit. The Devastator's primary goal is to overwhelm the opposition with weapons that are generally not brought into infantry based scenarios.
- MAPS Suit: This unit utilizes the extreme martial prowess provided by the MAPS. As such it reaps all the benefits of the MAPS extreme amount of damage output, versatility, and durability.
- Elite Pilot: This unit consists of an elite MAPS pilot who can use their power suit to a high proficiency. As such they are all the more deadly.
- Intimidator: This unit puts out so much damage and is so durable it can put the fear of Mandalore into lesser units.
- Backpacker: The MAPS makes use of two power generators covered by a Turadium shell, if one of those generators were to receive enough damage as to explode, then the other generator would also explode, causing massive damage to this Unit and all units around it, as well as removing the MAPS ability to power its Super-Heavy weapons.
- Slow and Steady: The MAPS is not an agile piece of technology. This unit takes a while to get up to speed, turn, or change location in any sense.
- Big Man, Big Problems: The MAPS is so large that this unit counts as two units when accounting for troop capacity, it is also a large unit. Transports that are not equipped to handle large infantry cannot transport the MAPS.
The Mandalorian Devastator unit is very simply a pilot and a MAPS. The Devastator was created as a way to move high powered weaponry into infantry combat. Weapons that would normally be limited only to vehicle combat or defensive emplacements are now infantry portable in a loose sense. The MAPS is a terrifying machine and it very easily is the reason why this unit is so effective; not to say that the highly trained pilot within the power suit isn't also valuable. With the high cost of a MAPS, it's weapons, the upkeep, and the ammunition requirements, finding pilots who are capable enough to entrust with such an expensive piece of equipment are rare. While the MAPS is not an agile beast, it makes up for its sluggishness with the ability to dish out a reckoning of a caliber most soldiers would never expect in an infantry battle.
