Description

Xenoplanetary Conditioned-Trained Infantry, also known as XCT or Hazardous Environment Troops, are infantry which have undergone rigorous training and received special equipment that allows them to fight in areas and on planets dangerous to human life.[1] For the Word of Blake, this means sending in mechanized NBC Special Weapons Teams of the Word of Blake Militia to clean up the aftermath of a standard nuclear or chemical attack. Survivors who are not taken prisoner are killed with ruthless efficiency. [2]

Armament

Mauser 1200 LSS Laser Rifles and Man-Portable Plasma Rifles provide more than enough firepower to confront anything found to have survived a nuclear weapon detonation.
