COMBAT INFORMATION
- Availability: Common
- Deployment: Mass
- Strengths & Weaknesses:
- Strengths:Hold the Line: Octarchy Infantry are trained and deployed to draw a line in the sand, and hold it until reinforcements arrive.
- Defensive Training: The OI are trained to fight defensively, using their surroundings to their advantage.
- Urban Training: As they are a defensive force, training is centered around urban environments.
- Supplementary Force: The Octarchy Infantry are intended to work as a supplementary force along side existing defenses
- Nothing Special: Octarchy Infantry comprises the whole array of Octarchy's ground capabilities. As such, they posses no combat-focused special units, and are limited primarily to anti-personnel actions
- Urban Focus: The OI trains exclusively for Urban scenarios, meaning that other terrain may prove difficult for them.
- Supplementary Force: The OI are not trained to win wars on their own, merely serving as a delaying tactic while a dedicated military force sends help.
When not serving as active duty soldiers, the OI serve as a security force, shedding the Duraplast armor in favor of security uniforms. This uniform is only worn on planetary postings. Security detail always wears armor onboard Octarchy Vessels, so as to be prepared if the vessels are required to scramble. The headquarters of the Infantry is Brelor City, on the moon of Commenor. Given its nature as a vacation world, however, Voph has given strict orders that the OI is not to wear the intimidating Duraplast armor outside of the base, and instead should wear Security uniforms so as to appear more welcoming to the various guests of Brelor City.
