- Description:The housecarls are Elaine Thul personal force of troops, they are selected from the best of Thul Infantry and Thul Scouts. Once they have been selected on grounds of skill and loyalty, and honour. After being selected, they under go training to prove they are capable of what being asked of them. They undergo training in a variety of areas, including camouflage training, zero g, as well as sniper training, close protection training. All this as well as power armour training, which is the armour they use if in the battlefield. Due to extensive training and wish to improve the status of these troops, they get better rations and better billeting. So other troops can see tangible benefits of joining the housecarls, also they need to be near by her if required.
The Captain August office of the unit, when she's not out meeting people or going to war. Has some of his men on exercise on different planets, so they can experience different terrains. He also keeps an eye on her diary, to see what events she going to. So he can plan her protection, as sometimes sending in hundred power armoured warriors to ball might considered overkill. So he plans her security around each situation she is in, this may go as far as visiting and testing security, and see if it weak. To just checking out what he can find from the holonet, as this will help see what the layman can find out, as nut jobs are always a possibility. They do employ vetted slicers as well, to deep checks on this so they can find out what trained people may be able to find out.
If in the field of battle, they perform exception well against infantry. Due to armour and plasma cannons, that can take down lightly armoured vehicles. This however does mean they need support against tanks, and bombers, as well as any other fast moving hard hitting units. As they can't exactly hide from these attacks, but put them on boarding action, or in a tunnel. They become one most dangerous things around, as most other units do not have same level of armour, or carry around such deadly anti infantry weapons.
