Chem-Troopers

The were a type of super-soldier used by the Empire of Alusia during the late-Modern and post-Leandran eras.
== Description ==
Chem-Troopers were augmented with combat stimulants to enhance their reflexes and strength, and to keep them fighting beyond all limits of ordinary endurance. Inevitably, the chemical cocktails fed into the Chem-Troopers would also include a healthy dose of behavioral control drugs, to make them impervious to seditious emotions such as fear or doubt.
== History ==
were a military technological innovation headed by the Alusian military's Lavrency Beriak in the mid-5th Century A.U. One of many modern super-soldier programs, the Chem-Troopers saw heavy use during the Alusian-Shantine War, often going toe-to-toe with the Shantine Seraphim.
=== Leandran War ===
After the Alusian-Shantine War, the Chem-Troopers were kept as part of Alusia's much-reduced military and, more importantly for Alusia's strategy of deterrence through terror, enormous chemical production facilities were kept in off-lane stations to assure an indefinite supply of shock troopers to carry out the Empire's revenge from the Deep Ether should its worlds be overwhelmed. When the Alusian Dead-Hand program fell into the hands of Darko Koraksic and his Thannasid patron, Enzyr, the new Thannasid puppet-regime wasted no time in marrying its occult knowledge with the worst industrial weapons of Alusia. The result was unveiled in the opening phases of the Leandran War, as Alusian terror troops were sent to replay their encounter a century before with the pseudo-angelic forces of the Shantine.
