Defensive Troops:SI

Defensive Units

When it comes down to it, you need to defend yourself. There are a number of defensive units available to you after negotiating their contracts. Defense has the upper hand over the attacker because you can customize your defensive army to guard against specific classes of attackers. Each defensive unit has 4 defensive stats, indicating their strength vs light infantry, heavy infantry, armored vehicles or combat aviation. Some units do better against air than others. Some are stronger against other infantry. Try to construct a strong army that can guard against a variety of attackers.

Packing long range small arms sniper rifles mixed with high velocity automatic weapons, the Ares Sniper Scouts are who you can call when there is no one left to answer. Point them in the right direction and unleash them on the enemy or for the fun of it, insert them behind enemy lines and tell them to make their own way home!

Sniper Scouts are trained to liquidate commanders, to organize ambushes, to sabotage the armies. They have the capability to cover massive distances on foot behind enemy lines whether in military uniform or civilian attire which enables them for dual use in both regular warfare and urban operations regardless of the conflict.

Syndicate Tactical Assault Group You wouldn't bring a nice to a gunfight, but given a choice, everyone would love to bring the new Microwave-based weapon (MGVT-525) and obliterate everyone and everything in sight. The Syndicate contributed and invested heavily in the development of the weapon and supplied it to their Heavy Infantry Units, the "Vector" Heavy Infantry Troopers. With its near-unlimited ammunition and quick firing rate, this directed energy system has quickly become a Vector favorite. The only disadvantage of this gun is that it is based on Thulium, and thus is extremely heavy - so can only be used in Garrisons.
