<div class='quotetop'>ZITAT</div>SPEKTRS
The Spektrs do justice to their name; they are silent phantoms capable of the most breath-taking infiltration operations. They are the ones who undertake the most delicate missions, those that demand no errors and require surgical precision. Tunguska uses them frequently in espionage missions or industrial extraction, be it on their own account or for some client or associate. Equipped with the most sophisticated camouflage and mimetic systems that money can buy, they are invisible to almost all surveillance equipment. That is the reason why people say the real speciality of the Spektrs is not infiltration, but their capacity to vanish[/b]
<div class='quotetop'>ZITAT</div>THE HUNGRIES-”GAKIS”
The Gakis are combat light operatives. They belong to a bastard race found by the EI on some forgotten planet. The EI trains them with a trial-reward system, stimulating artificially their sensations of hunger. That is the reason for their military designation inside the Combined Army as “The Hungries”. The humans met them on Paradiso and called them Gakis, cannibal phantoms in Japanese, for the fierceness of their attacks and because they like to move in packs. Their main military use is deterrence and the rupturing of enemy lines. Experience has taught human troops that it is not wise to allow them to get too close. The Hungries are trained to be more insidious than intelligent. The Gakis carry close combat weapons as modified arm-claws. They are worse than they appear, the speed and determination of their attacks turning them into relentless and terrifying enemies. As is commonly aid about them, they will never renounce to their pound of flesh.[/b]
<div class='quotetop'>ZITAT</div>DÀOFĚI, TACTICAL RECONNAISSANCE SECTION
The Dàofěi are Heavy Infantry specialized in infiltration and survival in hostile environments. The Tactical Reconaissance Section of the Invincible Army combines instruction in infiltration techniques with that of Heavy Infantry combat. The Dàofěi Units receive their name (Bandits) because of the graduation trial they have to pass in the State Scouts School. This trial consists of leaving them without food or weapons for two months in the inhospitable lands of Dailing, where they must survive by competing with poachers, bandits, smugglers, fugitives and the zone’s police force that treats the Dàofěi even worse than the above-mentioned thugs. In order to survive in this territory it is necessary that they devote themselves to robbing and pillaging, which besides alarming the police, attracts local professionals who are not ready to share their territory with any foreign arriviste. This is the point where the trial gets complicated and people start to die. Survivors are toughened infiltrators and enter the Dàofěi Section, where they will accomplish very similar missions to their graduation trial but using better equipment.[/b]
NAJJARUN ENGINEER
The Najjarun Engineers are specialists in trench warfare, tunnel excavation, siege warfare, sap, the laying of minefields and countermining. Destined to be the vanguard, they open and clear the way for the rest of the Haqqislamite army. They are also responsible for the repairs to the mechanized and armoured units.
The Najjarun are equivalent to the staff doctors for the worthy Magharibas and the Remotes. Part of their mission is to make the work of the rest of the army easier and for this reason they are held in high esteem as specialists within the Infantry. Najjaruns are highly skilled, especially considering the little means available to them; they keep the sophisticated equipment going with no more than microwelders and chemical adhesives. This is why it is frequent to hear of the Najjarun’s “magic saliva”, referring to their ability to solve difficult technical problems despite the scarcity of their resources.[/b]
