The 88th Mechanized Assault Group was an ancient and former Imperial Remnant military unit. It's revival is just one of a series of attempts to strengthen the One Sith Empire military. It's role is to provide a versatile unit capable of being deployed in a series of terrains, environments and scenarios. While the assault group boasts a range of units, it will ordinarily only field half of its total strength.
The type of units deployed are done so on a case-by-case basis, meaning that it is likely to see a single AT-AT with a small retinue of troopers to provide infantry support, or a strong force of solitary AT-ST's, and alternatively half the company of troopers while being provided air support from the starfighter squadron that is attached to the company.
The type of units deployed will be decided by the two leading officers, Captain Nero and the Sith Acolyte, Sabik Dhami. The 88th Mechanized Assault Group heavily relies on outdated technology of the Empires of old. The 88th is easily replenished, drawing recruits straight out of the academy to fill gaps in the ranks. The unit has a highly disposable nature, just like its commander, an Acolyte of the One Sith. Their tech reflects their disposability, using equipment that is outdated and thus disposable.
