### Orbital and aerial

#### Outlaw class Fighter

Equipped with three turbo-thrust engines and numerous RCS ports, this tiny superiority fighter is one of the most maneuverable spacecraft currently fielded in a Fighter capacity. In space pilots are able to completely flip the craft using RCS thrusters while maintaining forward momentum, as well as entirely arrest their craft’s motion if they so choose.  While capable of atmospheric operations, its small wings mean that it must travel at extreme speeds, rendering it a poor ground support craft, and less mobile than dedicated atmospheric fighters. This custom fighter was designed and produced by Echelon exclusively for Darkstar Solutions, and although lightly armed, is still quite formidable.

**Length**: 10m

**Armament**:

* 40mm slug launcher x2
* Nuclear Missiles x6
* High Yield Nuclear Missile x1
* Flare Launchers

#### Reaver Dropship

A lightly armed and moderately armored dropship built for Darkstar Solutions by Echelon, this craft is capable of carrying 20 soldiers, 10 soldiers and a Cyclone, or a single Typhoon. This dropship is not shielded.

### Soldiers

**Infantry**: Recruited from all walks of life, Darkstar Infantry specialize in Asset Protection and static defense operations. While perfectly capable at close up assaults, the standard infantryman will prefer to shoot their way out of most situations.

**Armament**: 10mm Battle Rifle, Hornet Plasma Missile Launcher (1 per Squad), Plasma Grenades, Combat Knife

**Equipment**: Level 1 Battle Armor, Individual Medical Kit, Wrist Computer, Handcuffs

**Medic**: Equipped very similarly to their Infantry brethren, these specialized troops carry enough medical equipment to treat up to a squad’s worth of casualties, with all the training to use it.

**Armament**: 10mm Battle Rifle, Smoke Grenades, Combat Knife

**Equipment**: Level 1 Combat Armor, Advanced Medical Kit, Wrist Computer

**Assault Trooper**: These troopers are trained to be especially deadly in close combat, and specialise in Boarding Actions, urban combat, and lightning-fast assaults. They are more heavily armored than standard infantry and carry a Submachine gun or shotgun in place of a battle rifle.

**Armament**: 12 Gauge Shotgun or 10mm SMG, Stun Grenades, Frag Grenades, Combat Knife

**Equipment**: Level 2 Battle Armor, Individual Medical Kit, Wrist Computer, Breaching Charges

**Orbital Drop Assault Troopers**: These elite troopers are trained to make planetary insertions via drop pods, self contained pods fired from a MAC gun on a ship in low-orbit. These troops are taught to fight for extended periods of time behind enemy lines with little chance of resupply, and against vastly superior forces. ODATs must spend at least two years as Assault Troopers before being trained as an Orbital Drop Assault Trooper, and are expected to maintain the highest levels of fitness and combat readiness.

**Armament**: 10mm Carbine, 10mm Pistol, Wasp Grenade Launcher (1 per squad), Plasma Grenades, Combat Knife

**Equipment**: Level 2 Battle Armor, Advanced Medical Kit, Wrist Computer, Survival Kit

**Support Troops**: These are the vehicle crewmen, cooks, quartermasters, and logisticians of Darkstar, and make up roughly 150 of their number. These troops are not meant for or expected to engage in close combat, but are trained for it in case of emergency.

**Armament**: 9mm Pistol, Combat Knife

**Equipment**: Level 0 Armor, Individual Medical Kit
