HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The assault division of Sehnsucht Company is relatively new and operates almost totally clandestine, behind the scenes of the Company's public operations. Colonel Willi recruited many of his own Herglic people into the division, establishing a foundation of professionalism, and leaving very few witnesses in their wake.
The division operates under its own rules, very distinct from the rules of engagement of security units. They are trained to clear an area of hostiles, under the presumption that anyone in their area of operations is hostile. They do not slow down, do not show mercy, and do not tolerate failure of their objectives.
The assault division are equipped with blast armour, which contains inbuilt weapon systems as well as jet propulsion giving the troopers incredible agility. Troopers carry heavy rifles and a variety of melee and grenade weapons, they do not lack for firepower. Heavy squad weapons augment each unit, allowing them to quickly and efficiently lay down their own support fire.
