COMBAT INFORMATION

• Availability: Common.
• Deployment: Mass.
• Strengths & Weaknesses:

​[NUMBERS] - There is a certain strength in numbers and it isn't any different here. If you see one Didact Cyclone Trooper, be prepared to find a dozen more around the corner.

[CYBERNETICS] - Less extensive and enhancing than the ones carried by the Didact Heavies, the Cyclone Troopers are still outfitted with mild augments to give them a slight edge against unaugmented opponents.

[CYBERNETICS] - Even though the cybernetics aren't as invasive and extensive, they are still a point of weakness here. Ion and similar weaponry have a chance of disabling the benefits, leaving the troopers without their keen advantage. Seeing as they were trained to fight with it, suddenly finding themselves without this edge in the heat of battle would be kind detrimental to their efforts.

[NUMBERS] - The Didact Cyclone Corps are made up out of mercenaries, outlaws, those individuals hungry for coin and glory. They aren't as well-trained and professional as Tash's Words or the Didact Heavies.

• Description: The Didact Cyclone Corps are the rank-and-file of Didact Defense Solutions. The more the organization grew, the more contracts it accepted, the more bodies it needed to cover all the jobs they were executing throughout the Galaxy. The Cyclone Troopers were the answer to that: drawn from all around the Corporate Sector and beyond their purpose was to buff the numbers of Didact in a quick and efficient way.

​If Didact is operating somewhere, it is very likely that the Cyclone Corps is involved in one capacity or the other. Instead of the usual specialized strike force, the Cyclone Troopers are focused around their numbers. Each one of them has had past experience and history with combat, ensuring that they only needed a quick crash-course served by Didact.

These are the bodies that Didact Defense Solutions offers when the job doesn't need a fine hand or when the operation isn't as crucial that it needs the fist of the Heavies.

The Cyclone Corps are proficient in manning numerous vehicles and ships, have been trained in battlefield medication and were trained to be largely self-sufficient in the field. This ensures that they are not reliant on a single commander, to prevent a collapse of structure once the battlefield shifts.
