• Classification: 214th Heavy Weapons Squad
• Description: The 214th Heavy Weapons Squad is one of the most infamous combat units within the Zweihander Union's ground forces. Members of the unit are brave and battle hardened, using their heavy repeating blasters to mow down enemy infantry lines at the front of the battle.

Strengths:

• Firepower - Comprised of heavy weapons, able to destroy lines of infantry units.
• Entrenchment - Holed up in repeating blaster "nests" providing them cover.

Weaknesses:

• Easily overwhelm - Entrenchments can be overwhelmed by superior infantry numbers
• Vulnerable to enemy aircraft - The nests are frequently targeted.
• Mobility - Due to the heavy weapons, the mobility of the unit on foot is poor. Traveling to the battlefield via APC or deployed via shuttle, once deployed, there is limited movement.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Formed and led by one of the bravest officers in the army, the 214th is the proud image of the Union's ground force. Comprised entirely of heavy weapons, they can decimate entire lines of enemy infantry. When deployed they usually are entrenched until the end of the battle. While all troopers are ready to die to serve the Union and the chancellors, not many would do so in the front lines, as such it is not easy to replace those of the 214th due to their closeness with the enemy and death.

Right Hander Narrator Hey there! A few comments before we can approve this:

• In Out of Character Information, for Image Source, please use this link for the header image. In this specific case, it's better than the IMDB page because it contains the actual image.
• For Permissions, you've listed Have Gun Will Travel, but there is nothing there that shows permission to use anything. Could you please either clarify what it's there for, or remove it?
• In General Information, for Description, the description could do with being more descriptive. Who are these people? Why are they so infamous? What do they look like? What are some marks that set them apart from other ZU groups? Remember, this is Codex, and words are what sets the flavor and tone, so I recommend adding
• For both Strength and Weaknesses, could you please elaborate? What's their firepower? Entrenchment?
• I'd recommend beefing the Historical Information part as well.

Tag me back once the edits have been made please, so that we can move this forward

Done!

Thank you very much for those edits! The Image Source still needs a fixing, and now that you've elaborated on the strength, I would recommend adding lack/lesser ground of mobility to their weakness (since they're carrying heavy equipment).
