"They're the average ones, the 'bulk' if you will. But please, don't underestimate them" - Avery Regailis
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: A unit for the bulk of an army unique to Taris.
- Image Credit: Link
- Role: It will serve as a base unit in an army that is exclusive to the planet Taris.
- Permissions: Link
- Links: Avery Regailis, Taris, The Silver Jedi Concord
- Unit Name: Taris Shock Troopers
- Affiliation: Loyal to the Silver Jedi Concord, but they have more of an affinity for their commander, Avery Regailis.
- Classification: Common Infantry
- Description: The first and most notable thing you'll notice is their unusual appearance. Donning what they call their "dust masks", long double-breasted coats, and a shiny metal helmet. Emblazoned on that helmet is the symbol of the Silver Jedi Concord, with a few minor differences. Going horizontal through the helmet is a stripe, on it is the abbreviation "T.T.-." the two T's stand for 'Taris Trooper', the empty spot is to be used for whatever level they're from on Taris. When interacting with the troopers, you'll find that they be very dismissive and if they aren't, they're usually aggressive due to their nature.
GENERAL COMBAT INFORMATION
- Unit Size: Medium
- Unit Availability: Common
- Unit Experience: Recruit
- Equipment: LPD-58 Stormwrath Shatter Pistol, LPD-31 Stormshard Ripper Rifle, Massiff Blast Armor(Typically worn under the coat), LPD-24 Fireblast Dual-Purpose Grenade, LPD-56 Firewrecker Anti-Armor Grenade.
- Combat Function: Taris Shock Troopers are very simple in their tactics, but they can be quite effective when using them. They like to rush the enemy, plain and simple. One common trooper habit, and probably what gets many of them killed, is getting right into the face of the enemy to deal as much havoc as possible, with minor flanking tactics mixed in.
- Force Abilities: N/A
Strengths
Long live Taris- The shock troopers are loyal to the core, more so to their own planet than the concord. They're willing to lay down their lives if it means securing the objective.
Born Of The Many Levels- These troopers are tough, really tough. One Taris Shock Trooper can have the pain tolerance of three men. Still, they're not immortal, they die all the same.
Weaknesses
Unfriendly Bunch- If the Taris Shock Troopers had to take after their commander in any way, it would be the friction they have with other military forces. If It isn't from Taris, I'm not trusting it.
Like Ants- When these soldiers enter the battlefield, two things can be expected; a crumbling enemy force, and many dead shock troopers. Because they die, as said, like ants.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Created on the planet Taris, the Shock Troopers are one of the many troops of the 'Taris Militance Project'. Codenamed by Avery Regailis, the militance project is a collective effort of Taris and Concord officials to create an effective fighting force stationed out of the planet Taris.
Taris Shock Troopers are primarily composed of either convicted felons, vagrants, and usual undesirables, like many of the Taris Troopers are. There isn't anything remarkable about them, they are the average Taris Trooper. They are given average combat training, enough to be considered a military unit, then tossed out into the fray.
"Of the many levels!" - the cry of the Taris Troopers
