Tomcat

Light infantry specialist in terms of being an engineer or a doctor. You Can push buttons with them due to this, the best thing about them is they are are specialists with wings (parachutist skill) meaning you can bring them on the middle of the board and keep them hidden and safe for a portion of the game only to run our and climb over things (climbing plus) mid game and push those buttons or aid that ally.  Underwhelming but slightly more interesting specialist that normally comes with a light flame thrower in case your patent dies or welding just isn’t hot enough. Oh and you can take a remote for them as well which is a good thing.

“The Tomcat Team is a unit of heroes. Its members are on active service twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Originating from Corregidor, the Tomcats constitute the extreme situation intervention and reaction unit of the Nomad Military Force. To Corregidor, whose manpower works in deep space conditions, the existence of a emergency rescue team is essential. In space, the most hostile environment possible, accidents are always deadly. In such situations, to save lives and avoid more deaths, speed and precision are vital and there is no room for error.

The wide range of their functions and the flexible Nomad organizational structure has obliged the Tomcats to become a militarized unit. Tomcats must be multi-skilled operatives, with varied specialities, allowing them to achieve success in any mission. The Nomad Military Force makes good use of their exceptional qualities in combat operations, as a quick response and support unit for situations which need special abilities. Their function is to serve in extraordinary rescues, immediate reaction operations and in extremis hostage liberation missions. In a nutshell, they save lives. When the alarm sounds, they know they have to go from zero to critical in seconds. They must be always at full performance. Their missions are always very important, and they must accomplish them without hesitations. Whether on a ship or deployed planeside, when they have to respond to a situation, there always are lives at risk. Believers in the aphorism “Sweat saves blood”, the continuous and intensive instruction program of the Tomcats is crucial to guarantee success in their operations. Excellence is not an objective, it is the point of departure. The pressure of their service is brutal, but the recognition and regard of Corregidor society compensates it fully: all Nomad children want to be a Tomcat when they grow up.”

Wild Cat

Good solid and somewhat dependable medium infantry. If you need someone basic with lots of options in terms of what they can do these are your guys. They can be a lieutenant option, doctor, specialist, hacker and engineer. but sadly they cant do any of it very well, only adequately. Though none of their weapon options are exciting, my one comes with a cool shoulder pad though. Look it’s shiny.

“You have probably never heard of the Mkuki Soldiers, or the Barabara Vita, the Road Wars that devastated part of Africa in the days before the building of the Orbital Elevator of Oriental Africa. Now they are just a footnote in the pages of history, but in their day they were a tragedy as brutal anything the African continent has seen. At that time, a number of corporations were competing against each other by drawing communication and trade lines to the Orbital Elevator. Many of these routes passed through ancestral tribal territories, so rival tribes were enlisted and armed to expel people and clear the way for the new roads, or to murder workers from other companies. The methods of these irregular troops were savage and they were known as Mkuki (“spear” in Swahili) Soldiers for their habit of impaling their victims to instil terror in the populace. Over time, the Mkuki Soldiers were declared war criminals and disbanded. Some of them paid for their crimes, but many hid among the refugees displaced by the works of the Orbital Elevator.”

Vostok

Need a massive robot that’s fast and good at climbing? Look no further . It’s highly survivable get it some cover and if you pay for the mimetism option your hard to see and if you do it’s likely it’s not going to do much. You get a MK12 weapon with that profile which is a high burst high damage weapon This is mobile denial get in cover along the likely avenues of advance and people are going to think twice or waste precious inches moving to avoid it and spending more orders. That or they will spend lots of delicious orders trying to deal with it.

“The outstanding success of the Sputnik series reaffirmed the confidence of the Nomad Military Force in the tactical use of Combat Remotes. However, the story of the Sputniks was not yet concluded. The distinctive modular design of these remote units gives them a wide range of room for improvement that allows them to evolve and adapt to new needs that may arise from current changing operating environments. Therefore, all the experience accumulated by the Nomad Military Force in the use of the first models of Sputniks—Tsyklon and Lunokhod—has been applied to the second generation of these tactical remotes, known as Vostok. This designation code continues the tradition of using legendary names from Russian Cosmonautics as a subtle way to prove that the main source of funding for this program is the Tunguska Struktura.”
