Hurricane Troopers, highly trained warriors created for the simple purpose of enforcing Sanitarium's martial law.
Trained so hard that emotional feelings are driven out of their mind they say focused completely to their objectives. Only 8 per cent of applicants are selected to join the Grand Army of the Establishment.
All troopers carry a standard issue 810-PD Hirothesis Automatic Blaster HAB. Highest rank achieved is Segeant. Squad leaders lead platoons of 8 men and wear yellow shoulder pauldrons.
Troopers are split into varoius duties and types. Scouts, Infantry (Snow, Wasteland, Magma and Sea Troopers), Pilots (EKI Fighters), Guards and ATE-WT (All Territory Exploration Walker Transport) Pilots.
Once a trooper joins the Establishment they lay claims to be called a citizen of the Galaxy. A Hurricane Trooper carries out their duties without hesitation and without regard to their own life.
These girmly anonymous troopers turn the might of their training and weaponary on any opposition to the Establishment with totally ruthless efficiency.
Equppied with the finest and most powerful arms and eqiupment, they are the most trusted and most effective troops in the Grand Army, and most deeply feared by the Confederate soldiers.
Hurricane Troopers are sent it to crush the initial resistance and do the tougest fighting as seen in the Pioneer and Shadow Wars.
Hurricane boarding parties are systematic and professional in taking charge of captured craft.
Their armour is made of Erbium composite materials. Every component of their armour and equipment is fabricated to the highest standards. The armour is designed to last indefinitely, and is immune to projectile weapons and blast sharpnel. It may be pierced by a direct blaster bolt, but will avert glancing bolts.
While brutal training and intense conditioning of Hurricane Troopers account for much of their power and effectiveness, Establishment-issue Hurricane equipment is also vital in making them the galaxy's most dreaded soldiers. Hurricane troopers can adapt to their environments. A trooper carries in his/her backpack items such as boosted field communicators, mortal launchers, and other specialized equipment for establishing security perimeters.
A trooper's helmet is designed to adjust to all kinds of conditions. The helmets are cooled and atmosphere-pressurized to keep a trooper operating at peak performance at all times.
For any military situation there is an appropriate class of trooper. Certain troopers are selected at a young age for their specialization and conditioned with wisdom and psychological training. Once specialized, their psychological conditioning to their particular identity is so strong that a trooper almost never wishes to change division.
Mutunies are rare but seem to happen when the squad leader has been killed in combat. The troopers seem to lose their way and there are harsh consequences for mutanty against an officer.
It is with these problems are the hard selection process that in the last years of the Establishment they begin cloning so removing the problems in a normal human. |
