FT War: Firepower request

The Lord of the Rock

The Lord strode to his position on the great Dais. Out there they were all gathered, merchants, tech lords and arms dealers from across the Galaxy here to see what the Kaladorian request was….

“Kalador has always been proud of it’s elite. The Watchmen are possibly the greatest warriors in the universe. Power armoured infantry, trained to the highest degree and equipped with the iconic Kaladorian Carbine and its variants. The are able to deploy rapidly from our Hunter Class troopships, hit had and hit fast.

But a recent military engagement against a droid battle force has convinced us some adjustments are required. Titanic battle droids armed with Turbo Lasers and other heavy weaponry were able to cut out deployment ships out of the air resulting in unprecedented casualties of around 40%. Also the regular anti infantry and light armour weaponry proved comparatively ineffective against the super heavy walkers our foes employed. Although some squads employing Gauss accelerators took out these battle droids it was at great personal cost and it is a tactic my lord would not like to have to repeat. In short the Watchmen need better close support heavy armoured firepower.

Although our Regular troops are supported by mighty ’silver hammer’ battle tanks these are to unwieldy for the lightning fast strikes for which the Watchmen were intended. We need fast manageable firepower, able to be deployed from orbit or high atmosphere carriers. Yet despite these needs the key requirement is that it can go toe to toe with a true battle tank and come out victorious.

We are open to anything that fulfils theses needs.

Thank you for your time.”

OOC: A pic of the merchandise would help would help, really anything from Mechs to flying battle spheres and beyond, a Watchmen is around 6’8”-7’4” tall in armour and the unit must accommodate this. Get creative gentlemen!

Oh yeah sorry that was unclear, the highly mobile heavy support is what Im after.

If I might suggest, check out the International Mall located in the post-text of this message.
If this store does not have what you want, it most likely doesnt exist.
