Alkor Empire Military (Ground Troops)

Foot Troops:



Special Forces:
The Special Forces of the Alkor Military is the elite of the elite fighting troops.
While some would argue that they are simply glorified commandos, the troops in Special Forces are among the toughest, smartest, meanest special operatives in the Empire.
Unlike the commando, their training does not only focus on espionage, surgical strikes, sabotage, anti-terrorist measures and guerilla combat, but a specialty in communications, mechanical engineering, rogue skills and other areas.
This unique area of study provides a Special Forces team with an incredible range and versatility to handle anything that is thrown their way.
They are also deployed as members of reactionary units within the Empire to quell uprisings or other threats to the internal security of the Alkor Military and Cities.
These resourceful, cunning and patient soldiers are often used as members of long-range patrols and covert teams outside the borders of the Cities for extended periods of time.
Special Forces troops are frequently expected to operate with very little support from the rest of the army and engage in covert operations that are so secret that there may be no official record of it.
They are also one of the few military O.C.C.s that may be dispatched on a mission as an individual, pair, or a small group of 4-6 rather than a squad of 6-10 or a platoon of 40 troops.
Likewise, one or two Special Forces soldiers are frequently assigned to other teams, squads or companies (sometimes without being identified as Special Ops) for special missions and outposts.

Special Forces is such an elite division that it even has its own uniforms, insignia/patch, and special body armor — roughly equivalent to the new heavy body armor in protection and features, but with its own unique, Death's head and armor styling, with a more sinister skull face plate and helmet.
They even get their own, black, Special Forces SAMAS with the same skull styling.

"Skyleaper" SAMAS Power Armor


Model Type: PA-07A
Class: Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit
Crew: One

Speed
Running: 60 mph (96 km) maximum. Note that the act of running does tire out its operator.
Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters.
Flying: The rocket propulsion system enables the SAMAS to hover stationary up to 1000 feet (305 m) or fly.
Maximum flying speed is 300 mph (480 km), but cruising speed is considered to be 150 mph (240 km).
Maximum altitude is 6000 feet (1829 m; a little over one mile/1.6 km).
Higher than this, high winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous.
The Skyleaper SAMAS is still too small and light even with the additional thrusters, to safely fly at greater heights.
Optimum altitude range is ground level to about 4000 feet (1200 m).
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply gives the SAMAS decades of life but the jet rockets get hot and need to cool after a maximum of 10 hours of continuous flight at speeds above cruising, 24 hours at cruising speed.
It can fly indefinitely with rest stops every few hours.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming: The SAMAS can swim using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human at a maximum speed of roughly four mph (6.4 km/3.4 knots). It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed.
Using the jet thrusters, the SAMAS can travel on the surface of water at 50 mph (80 km/42.5 knots), underwater at 40 mph (64 km/34 knots) or fly above the water's surface at normal speeds.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 1000 feet (305 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 8 feet (2.4 m) from head to toe. The top mounted air foil adds another two feet (0.6 m) for an overall height of 10 feet (3 m).
Width: Wings down, 3.5 feet (1.06 m) Wings extended, 12 feet (3.6 m)
Length: 4 feet 6 inches (1.4 m)
Weight: 500 Ibs (225 kg) without the rail gun and ammo drum.
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear, average SAMAS energy life is 20 years.

Weapon Systems
1. C-40R SAMAS Rail Gun (1):
This is standard equipment for the "Skyleaper" SAMAS. Other heavier guns can be substituted.
Likewise, the new CTT-M20 missile rifle or CTT-P40 rifle can be used as an over-sized two-handed weapon.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: Gun: 92 Ibs (41.4 kg), One SAMAS Ammo-Drum: 190 Ibs (85.5 kg).
Rate of Fire: Once every 2 seconds.
Maximum Effective Range: 4000 feet (1200 m)
Payload: 3000 round drum, that's 75 bursts. A second drum can be hooked to the undercarriage of the rocket jets, but first the used drum must be manually removed by another SAMAS or personnel.
Reloading a drum will take about 5 minutes for those not trained, but a mere one minute by somebody trained in the use of SAMAS power armor

2. SJ-6 Mini-Missile Launchers:
Each of the wings have three small, tube mini-missile launchers. weapon.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Missile Type: Any mini-missile can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing or plasma. Fragmentation will be used for anti-personnel operations.
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of two, four or six.
Range: Usually about a mile.
Payload: Six total; three per wing.

3. Energy Rifles: The "Skyleaper" SAMAS is small enough that it can use any of the standard infantry weapons from pistols and vibro-blades to rifles.
Or the CTT-M20 missile rifle or CTT-P40 rifle can also be used as an over-sized two-handed weapon.

4. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon, the pilot can engage in hand to hand combat.

5. Sensor System Note: The SAMAS has full optical systems, including laser targeting, telescopic, passive nightvision (light amplification), thermo imaging, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization.
Plus all other features common to all power armor.



Special Forces "Striker" SAMAS


Model Type: PA-08A
Class: Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit
Crew: One

Speed
Running: 70 mph (112.6 km) maximum. Note that the act of running does tire out its operator.
Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 20 feet (6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters.
A jet thruster assisted leap can propel the unit up to 100 feet (30.5 m) high and 200 feet (61 m) across without actually attaining flight.
Flying: The rocket propulsion system enables the SAMAS to hover stationary in mid-air or fly. Maximum flying speed is 330mph (528km), but cruising speed is considered to be 150 mph(240 km).
Maximum altitude is 6000 feet (1829 m; a little over one mile/1.6 km).
Higher than this, high winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous.
Optimum altitude range is ground level to about 4000 feet (1200 m).
Like its predecessor, the "Striker" is designed to be a low altitude power armor suit that can hug the ground and slip under enemy radar.
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply gives the SAMAS decades of life but the jet rockets get hot and need to cool after a maximum of 10 hours of continuous flight at speeds above cruising, 24 hours at cruising speed. It can fly indefinitely with rest stops every few hours.

Terror Trooper Power Armor


The PA-200 Terror Trooper is another heavy armor, combat suit, but designed by the techs at Alkor City with pilots, Commandos and Special Forces in mind — the face plate is even reminiscent of the Special Forces skull design.
Like most of the Alkor Army's war machines, the Terror Trooper power armor features the sinister Death's Head motif, is an ominous black color, lined with menacing spikes and offers a variety of built-in weapons.
The pilot sits in the chest area and manipulates robot arms, hands and legs with hand and foot controls. This offers superior protection and maximum firepower.
The Terror Trooper stands 11 feet (3.3 m) tall and is equipped with forearm housings that conceal medium-range, but highpowered lasers.
The hands of the power armor are completely mechanical and contain extendable finger claws for close combat.
The pair of tube-like protrusions from the back are cylindrical mini-missile launchers. The standard issue, hand-held weapon is the CTT-P40 particle beam cannon, although the CTT-M20 missile rifle or heavy rail guns can be used in the alternative.
The armor has good mobility and maneuverability and works well in all environments, from woodland and open fields to city streets.
Its 11 foot height gives it a relatively low profile and makes it suitable for easy transport by truck, helicopter or APC.
It is a favorite of commandos and RPA pilots assigned to infantry and Special missions that require ground operatives.
The Terror Trooper, like most full environmental suits and bots, is suitable for use underwater, although it does not have any special propulsion system.

Model Type: PA-200
Class: Heavy Assault Combat Power Armor
Crew: One

Speed
Running: 60 mph (96 km) maximum. Note that the act of running does tire out its operator.
Leaping: The robot legs can propel the heavy power armor 15 feet (4.6 m) high or lengthwise with a short running start.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming: The Terror Trooper has no thruster system so its mobility underwater is comparatively poor and slow.
Basically, the pilot can swim using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human.
Maximum speed is roughly five mph (8 km/4.25 knots).
It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal walking/running speed.
Maximum Ocean Depth: One mile (1.6 km).

Statistical Data
Height: 11 feet (3.3 m) from head to toe.
Width: 6 feet (1.8m)
Length: 5 feet (1.5m)
Weight: 1250 Ibs (562.5 kg)
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear, average SAMAS energy life is 20 years.

Weapon Systems
1. Forearm Laser Blasters (2):
Mounted on the forearm of each arm is a high-powered laser. The pilot simply points and shoots.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: Gun: 92 Ibs (41.4 kg), One SAMAS Ammo-Drum: 190 Ibs (85.5 kg).
Rate of Fire: Once every 2 seconds.
Maximum Effective Range: 2000 feet (610 m)
Payload: Effectively unlimited; tied to the armor's power supply.

2. A pair of Mini-Missile Launcher Tubes (2):
Mounted in the back are two mini-missile tube launchers.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Armor/Anti-Aircraft
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Missile Type: Any mini-missile can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing or plasma.
Rate of Fire: One at a time, or in volleys of two or four.
Range: Usually about a mile.
Payload: 20 total; 10 per launch tube.

3. CTT-M20 Missile Rifle (1): A giant-sized rifle that is standard issue for the Terror Trooper (the CTT-P40 can be substituted).
This weapon houses a row of mini-missiles down each of its long, twin barrels. Each pull of the trigger fires one mini-missile.
Remember, mini-missiles are self-guided, so once launched, they will find their target.
Mounted on the top of the rifle is a box that is more than a laser targeting system.
The lower port is a laser targeting sight(+1 to strike), but the larger one above it is a medium-ranged laser.
The CTT-M20 is standard issue for the Terror Trooper, although the CTT-P40 or a rail gun can be substituted.
It is also frequently used with other power armor suits or by SAMAS.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Armor/Anti-Aircraft
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Missile Type: Any mini-missile can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing or plasma.
Rate of Fire: One at a time, or in volleys of two or four.
Maximum Effective Range: Mini-missiles: Usually about a mile (1.6 km). Laser: 2000 feet (610 m)
Payload: 20 total; 10 per launch tube. The laser mounted on the top of the CTT-M20 takes a standard E-clip (20 shots) or long Eclip (30 shots).

4. CTT-P40 Particle Beam Cannon (1; Optional): A giantsized particle beam rifle with exceptional range (for a P-beam
weapon).
Mounted on the top of the rifle is a box laser targeting system and passive nightvision scope with telescopic capabilities (20x magnification; 3000 foot/910 m range). This weapon is standard issue with the Special Forces' Striker SAMAS and is frequently used by the Terror Trooper.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Missile Type: Any mini-missile can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing or plasma.
Rate of Fire: Once every second.
Maximum Effective Range: Mini-missiles: Usually about a mile (1.6 km). Laser: 2000 feet (610 m)
Payload: 40 particle beam blasts — virtually the entire back half of the giant rifle/cannon is a rechargeable energy cell.

5. Energy Rifles, Rail Guns or other heavy weapons can be used instead or in addition to the standard armaments.

6. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon, the pilot can engage in hand to hand combat.

7. Sensor System Note: The SAMAS has full optical systems, including laser targeting, telescopic, passive nightvision (light amplification), thermo-imaging, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization.
Plus all other features common to all power armor.
