===== [[Setting:Cloudburst/Coriolis|Coriolis]] System ===== Coriolis is the core of the Cloudburst Sector’s force under arms, and raises as well as fields their own regiments. * Coriolis Scharfschutze 9th Force Reconnaissance Regiment “Yellowjackets”: Although Coriolis is justly proud of their status as the hub of all ground military forces in the Sector, their own soldiers are nothing to sneeze at. The 9th FRR is no placeholder for off-world military forces: they are a vicious and surgical strike and fade force that rivals Septiim Special Operations regiments for speed and destructive capability. Fielding from light, fast vehicles that bristle with silenced stubbers and autoguns, the 9th FRR have traversed every conceivable battlefield condition, from the jagged rock spikes and endless moss fields of Oglith to the lightning-wracked forests of Oromet. Each of their vehicles is outfitted with the longest-ranged optical and communications packages that Cognomen can afford to give them, eclipsing even Cassie’s Rangers’s in quality, and their cadre of Hellgun-armed special forces are stealth-trained in the enormous bands of empty buildings that fill the Coriolis training grounds to not make a sound as they kill. The FRR is perfectly capable of functioning like a typical recon regiment, but they are flexible and skilled enough to serve as a special target elimination force or even battlefield controller force if needed. Like Septiim battlefield controllers, the 9th FRR can use combinations of entrenching tools, camo nets, tripwires, and buried explosives to utterly ruin a potential battlefield for enemy use, and do so with such speed that they can often enact this transformation overnight. * 19th Coriolis Scharfschutze Mechanized Infantry Regiment: Part of the 2nd Coriolis Infantry Division, this regiment specializes in moving huge numbers of infantry under the cover of automatic weapons fire across exposed areas. Their Chimaeras and transport trucks use expensive Mechanicus camouflage netting and painted metal armor attachments to quickly shift their appearance to match that of the surrounding areas, and every last one of their units carries a smoke discharger. The 19th also use Imperial Navy Valkyries and Vendettas to insert small infantry forces into battlefields ahead of their main forces to spot for artillery and airstrike forces staging well away from the front, and make use of four by four light trucks to quickly relocate their men if stealth is no longer an option. The only vehicle larger than a Salamander of which the regiment makes frequent use on the ground is the Cognomen-pattern Field Ambulance, which is essentially the hull of a Valdor Tank Destroyer with all of its weapons replaced with extra storage, fuel tanks, and medical gear. These are rare, but their ability to traverse surfaces over forty degrees in inclination makes them essential for evacuating wounded men without spending the time to look for alternate routes. To provide cover fire for advancing or retreating troops, the 19th makes broad use of Sabre and Tarantula gun platforms, which are relatively cheap, require little or no crew, power themselves for a while, and can put one to five rapid-fire weapons on a target just ten seconds after powering on.
