Intent: To provide the Siel Manta rebels with a unique unit of shock infantry troops that are a cut above the average rebel in terms of training, firepower and ferocity. OOC they serve as a means to flesh out the Siel Manta and provide an interesting unit with a cool backstory to boot.

Role: The Hirona hellfighters serve a certain niche in the Mirialan rebel faction, serving more of an aggressive role in combat where their rank and file counterparts usually rely on defence and hit and run. They also add a dangerous element to the faction as they are not merely badly armed rebels, but an elite(relatively speaking) unit with a professional military background.

COMBAT INFORMATION
Availability: Unique
Deployment: Minor deployment: Hellfighters are typically deployed in companies and platoons to support larger rebel forces in battle, although battalions being employed in battle is rare it isn't unheard of.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
(+) Ferocious combatants: This unit earned a brutal reputation under the command of colonel Narses during fighting against the Primeval with the name 'Hirona hellfighters' being bestowed upon them by holonet news for their dogged determination. It is said that some of Narses men sported necklaces made of severed ears collected from dead Primeval cultists, the most famous account coming from an aid worker who witnessed men of the 42nd desecrating cultist corpses on the battlefields outside of Hirona.
(+) Psychological warfare: Their colonel introduced the practice of scalping enemy dead as a means to tally the brigades kill count and also terrify enemy soldiers, also making extensive use of booby traps and ambushes to wipe out enemy forces in the highlands of Mirial.
(+) Veterans: The Hirona hellfighters have fought with Narses throughout the Primeval war, the night of the dead and against Sith forces during the planet wide battle of Mirial. Forging them into a battle hardened unit of Mirialan men and women with a savage reputation.
(+) Fanatical zealotry: They firmly believe in the cause they fight for and their commander, and will go into combat no matter how difficult or unlikely that they will survive; to them the ends justify the means.
(-) Limited numbers: The brigade has been understrength since the battle of Mirial, leading Narses to use them in a more conservative role until the rebels gain sufficient strength in numbers. As of recent events the Hirona hellfighters number at 2,000 strong with pre defection numbers being as high as 6,000 though many died in fighting against overwhelming Sith and Mirialan collaborator forces.
(-) Archaic equipment: The Hirona hellfighters lack in the latest blaster rifles and equipment, especially in comparison to their foes in the Sith empire and the Silver Jedi to the south.
(-) No anti air protection: A lack of artillery protection against Sith bombers during the battle of Hirona coupled along with the fact the brigade had to abandon much of its tanks and apcs led to heavy losses during the SJO Mirialan invasion. The changing face of combat against the Sith has led the hellfighters to deploy nightfighting tactics and surprise attacks to compensate against Sith bombing runs.
Description: The 42nd Mirialan infantry brigade 'Hirona hellfighters' originated in the later stages of the Primeval conflict on Mirial, belonging to the 3rd Mirialan field army. They came to be commanded by colonel *** ********* later known by the alias 'Narses' of the Siel Manta whos methods to combat the cultists was seen as unorthodox and brutal by many, nevertheless it was effective and many overlooked the brigades brutal antics against prisoners of war. The hellfighters employed barbaric tactics not only to defeat their foes but install fear in their hearts.
Like many other units in the Mirialan army, they had basic training like everybody else but ultimately their extensive combat experience and long period of deployment gave them the edge over their counterparts in terms of fighting ability.
