HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Created on Mandalore under the Codex Oyu'baat, along with the other three founding Infantry Battle Companies, this unit is the fire support and reinforcement of the IBC system. Thusly it is most selective in choosing fighters who are suited to flight. As with the other IBCs, the unit retains the customized gear and lack of uniform appearance of Mandalorians, but has the strength of a specific unified training regimen, allowing them to fight far more organized than they might appear.
In battle, the Infantry Greens are the airborne assault force, the heavy punch that backs up the waves of Mandalorians from ground and sky. They fight from the air with superior firepower, and coordinate effectively with their fellows.
They are sometimes derided by the Blues and Blacks as the fancy folk, but their presence on a battlefield is always welcomed, as their fire support spearheads assaults. Each warrior is equipped with multiple means of powered flight, a heavy rifle and pistol, and various grenades, rockets, and explosive surprises for unwitting enemies.
