Syndicate Units:SI

The Syndicate Class Units are rare, limited units that can be won by players to join their forces. These units are more advanced, require less upkeep and are faster than the contractor equivalents currently available to commanders.

A message from Syndicate ZERO-ALPHA WINGO indicated that, due to a buildup of ZHG forces in Zandia, negotiations with industry partners have secured new units, systems and personnel. These units may become negotiable through the contracting office over the 2014 year.

The declassified Operation: Torchlight contact "Echo" has stepped in through Joint Strategic Operations Command to offer missions attacking strategic targets. These targets will unlock Syndicate Contracts in the series. High level ZHG Search & Destroy missions will unlock units and contracts ever increasing in value up to a maximum of S&D Mission 125.

The following units have been declassified and cleared for use with current commanders in Zandia...
