This entry is an addition to the previous, and gives a semi-dtailed description of each type of Kalarii infantry type.
UPDATE: IMAGES AVAILABLE! CLICK THE NAMES!
Light infantry
- Line/Combat Trooper - these soldiers are usually the most common in any Kalarii combat group. They wear lightly armoured, black, Hoplite-class jumpsuits (same thing as Hoplite body armour)and carry light energy weapons.
- Auxilia Trooper - Auxilia troopers wera light power armour, giving them much better protection in combat than normal combat troops. Auxilia can carry heavier weapons, and are often assigned to hold choke points, provide a second firing line, and carry out support roles.
Heavy Infantry
- Legionnaire Trooper - Legionnaires wear heavy power armour, giving them maximum protection, and allowing them to carry weapons like heavy repeaters and even light cannons. These units are not abundant on the field of battle, due to the cost of the armour. They are often sent to attack and hold key positions or fill commando roles. Legionnaires are equipped with jet packs to provide maximum mobility.
- Praetorian Elite - Praetorians are the best of the best. They are equipped with a variant of the Legionnaire power armour (jetpack included), a heavy handgun, and an energy tower-shield. Praetorians are often found as bodyguards for high-ranking officers, or in the vanguard of an army.
- Shrike Trooper - Shrikes are armoured troops that specialise in close combat. They often carry firearms, but their main weapons are the 3 foot long retractable energy blades built into the wrist gauntlets. Shrikes are equipped with jumppacks (different from jetpacks) to quickly engage the enemy, or (should it be necessary) retreat. Shrikes are used to break through the enemy's front lines, or to flank the enemy
Super-Heavy Infantry
- Gladiator Trooper - Gladiators are equipped with massive suits of power armour. The complexity of the cybernetics and mechanics of these suits make them so costly that no more than a handful are often found in an army. Normal Gladiators have a heavy repeater cannon on the left shoulder, with a six foot long energy blade on the right wrist. They also have a shield generator on the back. This shield, in addition to their armour, makes them nearly indestructable. Some troopers, however, opt to replace the shield generator and cannon with a light/medium artillery gun, and the energy blade with a medium repeater cannon. Others choose to replace the shoulder cannon and blade with a pair of Wave-quake generator gauntlets (like Elite Pirates, Phazon Elites, or the Omega Pirate). Gladiators are either found in the vanguard, tearing up the enemy lines, and smashing/mauling vehicles, or in the rear, providing cover fire.
Special Infantry
- Arcani Operative - Arcani are espionage agents sent out to infiltrate enemy or neutral installations and camps.
They are equipped with light stealth field generator units the mute sounds originating from the immeadiate surroundings (lets say, a 3-4 foot range). These generator units also disrupt light reflect from this same area, relying on microscopic camera/projectors (if someone is on one side of the operative, they would only see what they would see if the Arcani weren't there, as the cameras relay the view to the projectors on the other side of the operative's body. This is covered at all angles). Arcani often work alone. Their normal weapons include an energy pistol, and a long, katana-like vibro blade.
To be finished at a later date.
