The Golden Rule
Name: Silver Surfers (66th Cavalry Regiment)
Intent: To create an effective and unique light cavalry unit.
Affiliation: Silver Jedi, Army of Light
Availability: Uncommon
Quality: C
Type: Light Cavalry
Strength: Typically about 100 units in a company, 2000 units total.
Description:
The 66th Cavalry Regiment, better known as the Silver Surfers, is a motorized infantry unit of Ranger biots meant for high-speed maneuver warfare and anti-vehicle combat. Each biot uses skimboards to quickly traverse the battlefield while manning automatic weapons, flamethrowers, or launcher style platforms like the PLX-1 to quickly dispatch groups of enemies.
The brainchild of the Jedi Watchman and Shadow operative Arisa Yune, they were developed as one of her solutions to countering the hordes of graug, zombies, sithspawn, and other minions commonly deployed by the Sith in their campaigns against the Silver Jedi. With infantry on skimboards, they could rapidly kite their targets while picking them off at a safe range.
There is no special training regiment for the biots, as they can be simply programmed to fulfill a particular mission role immediately via their cranial uplink. Their particular programming covers basic infantry tactics, cavalry tactics (modified to exploit the full capabilities of the skimboard with dazzling ‘slasher’ style maneuvers), anti-vehicle warfare, and combined arms assaults.
