Description (Specifications)

The Zhodani Naval Special Landing Forces are not a separate branch or service within the Zhodani Combined Interstellar Forces. They are specially selected , trained and equipped members of the Consulate Navy. The ZNSLF is primarily tasked with duties supporting the fleet operations and securing the Consulate naval facilities.

The ZNSLF is uniformly trained to operate in hostile environmental conditions such as vacuums, exotic atmospheres, and zero gravity environments.

They are equipped with TL–14 Fusion Weapons and Battledress whenever possible. At the very least they have Combat Armor and Gauss Rifles.
