Armament

Often armed with rifles and other weapons that the individual trooper owns supplimented by support weaponry provided by the unit the type and complexity of weaponry in this type of platoon can vary wildly by region and faction.

Variants

    These troops trade their mobility for protection. Troopers are equipped with full suits of ballistic plate combat armor, making them effectively twice as hard to kill but preventing them making anti-Mech swarming attacks. Such armor requires constant maintenance. [1]
