Combat Information
- Unit Size: Small (980)
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Veteran
- Combat Function: Ultranauts assigned to naval postings usually have the role of ship defence, boarding, landing zone security and shipboard security, they are known to be mentally conditioned to follow orders without hesitation. Ultranauts are known for their brutality, strict discipline and efficiency as a combat unit and will seek to accomplish the mission at any cost, regardless of the odds and will carry out the orders they are given. The 92nd "lôn" Ultranaut Naval Battalion currently serves alongside Kathrin on whatever ship she commands.
Strengths
- Disciplined: The Eternal Empire's Ultranauts are highly disciplined in combat, making them much more difficult to rout than regular soldiers
- Heavy Weapons: The Eternal military's doctrine of Storm War places heavy emphasis on combined arms tactics and overwhelming firepower. The Ultranauts reflect that and are equipped with a variety of much heavier weapons than most galactic militaries typically field
- Anti-Stealth: The Ultranauts are equipped with the KC-VISR optics technology, which gives them limited stealth detection capability up to a distance of fifty meters, for up to ten seconds once per minute
Weaknesses
- Heavy Equipment: Ultranauts are equipped with heavy weapons and armor which reduce their mobility, compared to other similar units, such as Imperial Stormtroopers
- Manpower: Like the vast majority of organic units within the Eternal Empire's Military, the Ultranauts suffer from a shortage of available manpower, limiting the number of potential recruits and reducing unit size and the overall number of battalions that are available
- Stealth: Due to their heavy equipment and the glowing optics of their armor, Ultranauts are ill-suited for stealthy missions and will usually be detected quickly
Description
The Eternal Army's Ultranaut Corps are one of the most recognisable, respected and feared military forces amongst the various Planetary Defence Militias belonging to the many worlds under the banner of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Starting out as a shipboard defence unit amongst the refugee fleet that would eventually form into the Eternal Empire, their doctrine has evolved drastically throughout the years since the Exodus in the aftermath of Krayiss II.
A far cry from their ragtag origins, the Ultranauts have gradually morphed into one of the most disciplined and effective fighting forces in the galaxy, capable of maintaining unit cohesion and keep fighting even under the most dire of circumstances, regardless of casualties or odds.
The standard two years training regime of the Ultranaut Corps is amongst the toughest and most difficult amongst any mainline military units in the galaxy, comparable to most special forces. Ultranaut recruits undergo a gruelling drilling routine amongst some of the harshest environments known to the galaxy, in the harshest conditions possible, preparing them for a variety of combat scenarios, ranging from planetary assaults and sieges, to shipboard and EVA combat in high-G and low-G battlefields.
As the Eternal Empire's population is small, compared to other planets in the galaxy, the Eternal Army lacks the manpower to match the numbers that potential enemies could field and as such, its military doctrine has evolved to make up for this. This combined arms doctrine, called Storm War by those who developed it, places heavy emphasis on discipline, organisation and force multiplication to level the odds and the Ultranaut Corps excel in this role.
As per all Ultranaut detachments, there is a range of different configurations a Regiment can follow. There are 7 companies (130 Soldiers per Company) in a Battalion (Up to 1000 Soldiers). The 92nd "lôn" is formed into the following structure:
