Grima Volitu
The Togruta Witch
Name: Riders of the Black Rose
Intent: Military unit for the Covenant of the Black Rose
Affiliation: Covenant of the Black Rose
Availability: Rare
Quality: A
Type: Mounted Infantry
Strength: 75 for each company. Max company employed in battle is 4 for a total strength of 300.
Equipment:
Riders
9118 Heavy Carbine
Force Pike
Renegade Heavy Blaster
Camo Scout Armor
Mounts
Armour: The armour is created with both durasteel and Flexisteel. It offers limited protection from blaster fire (can withstand a few shots but not a full on assault of blaster fire).
Description:
At the request of the Black Rose Council - a project was undertaken to convert the species Potens Ursae into a combat unit. The project was overseen and handled by Darth Zarrah - who believed the best way to create the fighting force was to utilize troops and turning the units into mounted companies. A secret training complex was built for the project.
The project was designed with two notions in mind. A breeding ground was used to mate the beasts that had been delegated useless for combat because of defects or genetic reasons. The newly arrived cubs would be examined carefully and if they passed the tests they would be sent to the next stage - the training grounds. If they failed the examination process then they would remain in the breeding grounds and upon reaching maturity they themselves would become breeders.
The second notion was the actual training grounds itself. Here a fresh recruit from the military academy would be assigned to one of the newborn cubs. From day one the pair would live, work, train, and interact with one another. Darth Zarrah wanted both rider and mount to have a symbiotic relationship. In the event a rider was killed performing her duties such as patrolling a hostile region or through warfare the beast - subsequently - would be put down based on the main reason that the beasts were trained to follow the commands of their riders whom they grew up with. Assigning a new rider to a veteran beast would be result in tragedy.
To ensure a steady and consistent supply of the animals and units - several more breeding and training grounds where erected around the secret complex. The unit's roles can range from basic scouting to full-on warfare. Because they are not powered by technology - the mounts can move through all types of terrain. Because of their mounts limited armour - the units when employed in warfare are used in hit and run tactics meant to disrupt supply lines and troops movements. On the battlefield where the major fighting occurs - they focus more on the troops (flesh and droids) rather than attacking the technology based machines of war such as tanks and artillery units.
