Alpha Troopers

==About ==
The Alpha Troopers are a special operations unit and an elite branch of the US Army, created by the Department of Defense’s Project Lycan. They are composed of genetically-enhanced werewolf warriors, equipped with advanced armor and weaponry, trained to combat the lycanthrope menace in the immediate Dawn area.
Their creation came in response to a massacre perpetrated by a large group of werewolves. Well aware of the high damage tolerances lycanthropes possessed, armed soldiers were sent to neutralize them in prototype exosuits. However, the werewolves easily tore apart the same exosuits meant to counter them. Recognizing the dire need for a potent solution, government leaders decided to adopt a "fight fire with fire" approach, leading to the development of genetically engineered werewolves. 
Equipped with non-conductive silver, metallic claws designed to neutralize lycanthropes, the Alpha Troopers were extensively trained to capture or eliminate the dangerous adversaries. Speculation surrounds some Alpha Troopers, suggesting they may include werewolves that were captured and subjected to brainwashing, although solid evidence remains scarce.
==Abilities==
Alpha Troopers are widely acknowledged as exceptionally lethal soldiers, equipped with silver-armored suits and deadly silver claws, specifically designed to neutralize werewolf threats. The enhanced claws possess unparalleled durability, capable of bypassing most magical forms of shielding, with only sharp blades offering any potential defense against their attacks. Alphas demonstrate remarkable strength, effortlessly lifting heavy ballistic and melee weaponry such as the GAU-8. Their superhuman capabilities include the ability to hoist tanks effortlessly, run at near supersonic speeds, and endure severe punishment, before succumbing to defeat.
Alpha Troopers carry a variety of firearms, depending on their rank and mission. The most common ones are the M16A2 and the M249 SAW, both loaded with silver armor-piercing (AP) rounds that can penetrate werewolf skin and bones. They also have a Desert Eagle pistol as a secondary weapon, which can fire either AP or incendiary rounds. Some troopers may also use other weapons, such as the GAU-8 Avenger, a rotary cannon that fires 30 mm shells at a high rate of fire. The GAU-8 is usually mounted on aircraft, but some Alphas can carry it as a personal weapon, using their strength and speed to maneuver it.
==Uses==
Alpha Troopers were deployed for targeted eradication of feral werewolves and highly dangerous/high-value targets. Their operations maintain a meticulous approach, leaving no trace of their kills, and they are frequently assigned to covert missions. The Troopers conduct operations in tactical squads of 4-8, although instances of larger formations have been observed.
Given their specialized role, select Alpha Troopers are designated for safeguarding critical magical artifacts and classified facilities, including The Lab, and Temples, using their unique skill set and combat prowess. These troopers are deployed as security details for high-value assets and secretive installations.
==Trivia== 
*An elite unit of Alpha Troopers, known as Vanguards, exists within the ranks.
* The majority of Alpha Troopers were manufactured in Germany and subsequently deployed to the Northwest United States. However, certain facilities also operate within North America for Alpha Trooper production and deployment.
*The Alpha Troopers draw significant inspiration from the Imperial Terror Troopers featured in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. This influence is evident in their shared roles and equipment.
