Military Organisation

Based on the concept of mixed Trinaries, Goliath Scorpion's military is extremely regimented. Each of the six Trinary types it uses contains a mix of BattleMech, Elemental and Aerospace forces, designed around a tactical specialty.[1]

Trinary Type Composition Information

1 Elemental Star
