COMBAT INFORMATION
- Availability: Rare
- Deployment: Minor
- Strengths & Weaknesses:
+Well Equipped: The Imperial Supercommandos are very well equipped, with access to various different weapons as well as jetpacks.
-Small Numbers: The Imperial Supercommandos are a smaller force. Aside from open warfare situations the supercommandos are only deployed in squads of 4-6.
-Green: The Imperial Supercommandos, while elite troops, are all pretty young due to the newness of the organization. Most have three years of service experience or less.
- Description: During a raid on Concordia Vilhelm Balfour was extremely impressed with the fight and heart of the Mandalorians protecting a mine despite the lack of a true governmental organization. Deciding that such skill could be harnessed and better channeled with Imperial order and regulation Balfour ordered [member="Anjin Kent"] to capture one of the Mandalorian soldiers. This turned out to be Horus Vizsla. Horus Vizsla, after much torture and influence, decided that he “loved big brother” and was offered a commission to create and train the Imperial Supercommandos.
It took some time, but the Imperial Supercommandos benefitted from a strong recruiting campaign organized by Balfour. After a few months of training a proof of concept run was taken, with Vizsla taking a squad of troopers to take down some pirates stationed near Maramere. Put with Anjin Kent’s Death Troopers the two competed for efficiency, and earned enough recognition for Balfour to approve the program in completion.
Their next objective was to dress down into some armored spacesuits and conduct another raid against the Galactic Alliance, attempting to probe their defenses and response time. Now Balfour sees them as a strong Imperial asset, one that he hopes will help him rise through the ranks.
