Imperial engineer

Imperial Engineers are the Japanese support units in Red Alert 3.
==Background==
These dedicated men come from the socio-economic caste of Japanese citizens dedicated to the nation's pursuit of higher technology. They do not receive any military training and are, in fact, banned from physical exercise (apart from basic calisthenics). In spite of this fact, they are expected to serve in the Imperial military before achieving a higher position. However, the fact that they are uniquely able to secure buildings for the Empire boosts their enthusiasm.
This enthusiasm earns engineers the ire of regular Imperial troops, who consider their "sniveling, groveling, selfish" behaviour annoying and affecting morale. Likewise, the engineers dislike the brutish, callous nature of the soldiers.
==Game unit==
Imperial engineers' main difference from their counterparts in the other factions is their sprint ability, which grants a temporary speed boost. With careful planning, this can allow them to reach a target sooner than expected, or to escape from pursuing threats.
