GENERAL INFORMATION

• :: Unit Name :: Shoretrooper Assault Platoon, Coastal Defense Stormtrooper Assault Platoon
• :: Affiliation :: Thea : New Imperial Order
• :: Classification :: Specialized Assault Infantry: Tropic Warfare Unit
• :: Description ::
  
  With their unique variant of lighter and tan-colored Stormtrooper armor, Shoretroopers are a rarity in the galaxy due to the limited number of tropical environments, especially those with tactical significance to the New Imperial Order. Yet the uniquely unforgiving and complex parameters of such environments deemed the need to gather some of the most promising recruits and best veterans. Shoretrooper Assault Platoons are primarily configured with dedicated heavy weapon squads, usually armed with heavy repeating blasters, and can be additionally augmented with Armor Sections.​

• :: Combat Function ::
  
  : Tactics : Highly autonomous, squad-level operations coordinated on an organizational level. Operational decisions are made by the squad leader and each squad can independently act with insurgency and guerrilla warfare protocols. Each squad is also extremely mobile, often used as patrol or reconnaissance units.
  : Operational Scope : Specifically trained and equipped for hot, humid and wet environments, ranging from tropical jungles, swamps to beaches. Due to the partially aquatic nature of potential battle grounds, all Shoretroopers are trained in marine tactics as well as aquatic-based warfare.
  : Self-Sufficiency : Equipped with expanded support elements and support personnel, with specific training in hostile environment survival. Each platoon is expected to be able to operate and survive independently without additional logistics or supplies. Scavenging and efficiently utilizing resources is second-nature to every Shoretrooper.​

STRENGTHS:

• :: Tropical Warfare Specialists ::
  
  Equipment, survival training, advanced tactics, and experience operating within tropical environments have made Shoretroopers extremely efficient and effective in their natural habitats.​
• :: Strong Leadership and Tactical Expertise ::
  
  Due to their highly self-sufficient and autonomous nature in the field, as well as the high reliance on the tactical and leadership abilities of their NCOs, all Shoretroopers are excellent squad leaders and commanders.​
• :: Lightning Strikes ::
  
  The lighter armor of Shoretroopers allows them to be quicker than their bulkier Stormtrooper counterparts. They leverage this high mobility to create a fast-pace tempo to their operations, overwhelming the weak points of their opponents with devastatingly precise accuracy and speed.​

WEAKNESSES:

• :: Only the Tropics ::
  
  While they retain their combat experience as highly trained soldiers and veterans, the specialized training and equipment of Shoretroopers have little benefit outside of tropical areas.​
• :: Light Armor ::
  
  Similar to scout troopers, Shoretroopers have limited leg armor for increased flexibility and speed. In addition, their armor is weak to corrosive chemicals in exchange for improved ventilation and water resistance.​

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Shoretrooper Assault Platoon is the smallest operational unit of Shoretroopers. Formally organized and formed by Thea , Shoretroopers were created to address the New Imperial Order's inability to effectively secure or assault tropically-located positions. Due to the highly specialized nature of Shoretroopers, they are limited in number and have most notably been assigned to the top secret Imperial compound on Scarif.

Most Shoretrooper Assault Platoons are typically assigned medium or heavy repeating blasters alongside alongside explosive munitions and projectile launchers. Due to the the dense foliage often in tropical environments, mortars and other indirect fire weapons are favored over traditional missile launchers. In addition, Shoretroopers have extensive supplies of demolition devices, particularly mines, used to ambush enemy convoys, destroy fortifications, and overall, maximize the damage inflicted onto their enemies.

I just want to walk through your permissions because from some of them I cannot tell that you personally have permission to use them.

Here are the ones I need clarification on and the reasons why:

REC-ACS/01 “Batillum” - Pattern Entrenching Tool -- does not appear on the requisition list you linked
BAW-63 Heavy Rotary Blaster Cannon -- You have not provided any permissions from Roble Manufacturing
Revealer -- None of the caps show permission to use resources from Coronodex arms or Zeph Halo. This link to the company is also broken so I have no way of checking to see if any such permission has been edited into the company page itself.

A note on your permissions: since the majority of them are for the NIO and not you personally if this unit ever ceases to be part of the NIO it will invalidate those permissions. You may want to reach out to the original writers to get permission for these items personally as opposed to using a blanket faction permission.

Shovel added, heavy cannon removed, Coronodex arms added.

And I'm cool with the permissions just being NIO ones. Can't have stormtroopers that aren't imperial.

Thea

It's mainly just a note. Since they are affiliated with the NIO the perms work. Just wanted you to be aware if that ever changed then you'd have to get that fixed later.

Perms all look good to go!
