Systems Alliance Special Forces Operative

The Systems Alliance Special Forces operative is hand picked from troopers who finished basic training. They are picked for their excellent performance, initiative and superior physical traits they would display during those first three months of training.

They are tested if they are viable for genetic alterations and if approved and consent is given by the individual will under go gene therapy. What they try to attempt at this point is to create a super solider able to operate behind enemy lines alone or in very small units. Their mission is to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible through alternative means, such as destroying weapon depots, assassinating enemy commanders and sabotaging planetary defense platforms.

They are also used for extraction mission, search and rescue, and heavy assault squads. They receive much of the same training Rangers do once the gene therapy is completed and takes hold. They training focuses more on sabotage and infiltration as well as the use of many common weapons used by the galaxies many militarizes.

This makes these men and women one of the most versatile and dangerous units deploy-able by the Systems Alliance.

Armor
All Infantry Armor starts with a "second skin" body glove that helps maintain proper body temperature, absorb shocks from weapon impacts and explosives and protects the wearer from environmental hazards, such as toxic and vacuum.

Over that is the actual armor, a mix of dense fabrics plastics and metal the "plates" are designed to provide protection from both projectile and energy based weapons. The plates are arranged to allow as much protection as possible with out sacrificing full freedom of movement. The SF Operative's armor is made of a material that provides anti detection from various sensors as well as a above average protection from enemy fire, although not as much as a Rangers armor.

The helmets provide a advance heads up display providing constantly updating mini maps and passive sensor data. It also allows for infrared, low light and even ultra-violate vision. The Helmet also provides the last seal for hostile environments.

The Armor also contains communications equipment and a friend or foe motion sensor. The only time they make use of IFF signals is when they are operating in teams or near other SA forces. In which case it operates much like the Rangers system.

There are additional armor attachments and equipment suited for different mission profiles, far to many to list. Because of this its not long till the standard armor is modified, its a rare sight to see two sets of armor that are identical.

The weapon comes with several optional attachments, the most popular for SF Operative is an external, more powerful power pack that allows the weapon to fire its projectiles at a much higher velocity.
 * SMGs
