The Shikh’aa Faction, controlling the whole of the K’shek cluster
  • It is a loose confederation riven by Factional politicking and petty rivalries.

The vehicles are heavily armored and pretty fast. They are very expensive and well equipped with sensors and communication gear. The air rafts are used for recon missions and for point defense protection of heavier assets. The first two both use the same basic chassis and turret with a plasma gun, but the tank carries heavy TAC missiles in lieu of troops. They require extensive electronic maintenance from at least two trained technicians with the appropriate tool kits per vehicle. The fuel for the tanks is limited to 2.3 hours of endurance, which restricts operational range. The six trooper infantry squad is small, with a leader NCO with good commo gear, a medic, a portable light TAC missile team, and a pair of scout snipers with laser rifles. The scouts must target designate for the squad's small TAC missiles and for the tank's heavy missiles because the tanks don't carry their own lasers. They are also forward observers for the battalion artillery battery and any available ortillery from close support gunboats. They use high performance homing missiles with HE warheads versus fast air targets and target designated HEAP warhead missiles versus enemy armor.

Vehicle crews typically wear CES with slung caseless 8.9mm SMGs, a combat blade and a few grenades (smoke and HE) in case they have to abandon a vehicle. Drop Capsule equipped marines typically have combat armor, laser rifles and TAC missiles. Army units use CES, grenade launchers and ACRs.
