• Combat Function: Red Giants’ armoured speartip detachments function as the point formation for armoured assaults, performing skirmishing and reconnaissance duties as part of a larger formation.

Strengths:

• Speed: The detachments are very mobile, and can quickly cover open terrain
• Tip of the spear: The composition of the detachments makes it especially useful for fast movement and surprise attacks, and can gut infantry formations through the use of speed and volume of fire

Weaknesses:

• Fortifications: Heavy fortifications can halt speartip detachments due to a general lack of heavy weapons and the low average defense of the vehicles that compose it
• No Weight: A speartip detachment cannot sustain offensive operations for a long period of time, and can’t hold or clear out areas on their own

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

A Red Giant’s speartip detachment isn’t its own autonomous unit, but a part of a greater whole within the Red Giants. Although sustaining higher than usual casualty rates compared to the rest of the corps this detachment is often where armoured crews will begin, and where they will be tested against the myriad enemies of Nothmir. When the 3rd Peacekeeper Corps was established it was a mix of speeders and heavy tanks, but would undergo reorganization into specialized but flexible detachments that would be combined in different ways to fit a specific battle.
