Paratha Combat Brigade
Serving the Worlds of The Leader, Paratha (world) D342788-6 is a scorched, dry world with light gravity and a thin tainted atmosphere. However, specially modified TL–6 helicopters can operate here, with care. Some of these battalions are being used to with the occupational forces, to garrison the "colony" of Zendar (world).
The three Combat Brigades are adapted for desert combat. They share 21 battalions. The TOE below is a typical mechanized infantry battalion.

Troops here wear loose, camouflage desert cloaks over their uniforms and their helmets have polarized sand goggles and filter masks integrated.
