Rodica
Or more specifically, Sector A-152 in the middle of winter, was to be the site of many wargames, and in fact had already been the combat zone for several Imperial Stormtrooper companies engaging in practice maneuvers once before. Now this time it would be utilized by the Crinan military forces conducting their own training exercises. Certainly that was plenty of space on Crina as well to perform these activities, but the fact that Rodica was mostly uninhabited and already had a zone set aside by the military for such operations made everything much easier. At least for enacting battles in different wildlife conditions. For urban strategies they would have to undergo their training elsewhere.
This battle being put together for wargame exercises was rather interesting though. It was to field test the new Crinan Power Armor for their new combat division, the Crinan Knights. The power armor was meant to be a technology designed to enable soldiers to fight on even footing with the power of force users in the outside galaxy. The displays of power in the Tournament of the Gods in which the second princess had entered, along with the tales from the devastating monsters employed by the One Sith, prompted such a technology to be created. Utilizing Crinan designs and powered with force crystal focused generators, the Power Armor was meant to enhance the users strength to keep them on par with the abilities of a force user in empowered speed and physical prowess. It also bore a shield generator unit just like all other Crinan combat armor, and was also equipped with jump jets for low atmosphere deployment and quick maneuverability around the battlefield in short bursts on a low but rechargeable power source. Each Crinan knight also bore a wrist mounted blaster cannon and proportioned Crinan Energy sword to their armor's size. It was armor on par with that of the Royal Guard's though it did not use phrik due to the metal's scarcity.
This would be its debut test run in these wargames.
Thus to that end on one side of the exercises the commanding officers were a pair of Crinan Nobles immersed in military affairs who would command the new Crinan Knights along with a full deployment force. They would be pitted against Crina's First and Second Princesses accordingly, Irina and Alva Calvarona, who would command a similarly sized and equipped force. However, rather than the Crinan Knights they had a small contingent of Practitioners, Crina's magic users, among their forces, led by Master Sorina Alexia, the young prodigy Practitioner some considered to be the best. In this capacity the Knight power armor would be tested against magic users whose abilities came closest to those of the Jedi or Sith to gauge if it could keep up in the midst of battle.
However, along with the power armor and Practitioners both forces would be replete with:
An equal strength Battalion unit composed of two mechanized companies, one armored company, one infantry company, and one reconnaissance company. All Personnel are equipped and proficiently trained in the use of the Cold Assault doctrine and are issued the basic gear.
Mechanized Company
4 Infantry Platoons: 38 Infantry per platoon (36 troopers, 2 officers); 4 Bixi Artillery Walkers per platoon; 4 AAS-Ts per platoon; Each squad is equipped with a missile launcher or a repeating blaster.
Infantry Company
1 Ronto Command Walker, 300 infantry (48 Troopers, 2 Officers), 12 Crinan Knights, 8 Tripod-repeating blasters, and 8 portable missile launchers
Reconnaissance Company
Heavy Recon Platoon: 12 Quad Recon Speeders - 2 Crew members per QRS; 24 total Personnel; 24 ARC-1 Patrol Droids
Light Recon Platoon: 38 Infantry; 38 74-Z Speeder Bikes; 4-Tripod repeating blasters; 4 portable missile launchers
Armor Company
4 Tank Platoons with 9 Kath Hound Battle Tanks per platoon; 4 crew members per tank; 36 tanks total; 144 total personnel;
All Infantry sport Crinan Royalist Combat Armor and bear a blaster carbine and energy sword as standard weapons.
There was snow on the ground of the sector now, it was in a winter climate this time of year. Alva wasn't so sure she liked the idea of it under the circumstances. Crinan Infantry armor was white, it would blend in, and with so many trees in the vast forested region it was already an ambush nightmare for either side's forces in this wargame if they tried to send strike teams to each other's base camp starting points through the woods. With the snow adding on top of it it was going to be harsh finding hidden snipers and the lack. Although since you'd only be tagged out rather than killed it wasn't so bad. Plus because it would happen under this setting it might prevent a similar mistake from occurring on a real battlefield.
Nonetheless, as Alva watched the Ronto Walker form the core position of their encampment she wondered who would make the first aggression. Probably not her and her sister unless Irina disagreed about taking a defensive formation and settling in for the long hall of acquiring information before striking out. For now though she watched her forces exit their dropships and transports as they merely got ready for the exercise. No action would be starting just yet. Everyone was getting a short time to make sure they had their allotted equipment first.
