KATARN BATTALION
Posted Image

ORIGINS

The Katarn Battalion is a military unit within Army Group A that boasts a reputation within the First Empire as an elite stormtrooper battalion. Its reputation for welcoming the most fierce but capable troopers has lead to the Katarn Battalion developing a cult following of sorts among the other ranks of Stormtroopers serving across the Empire, conceiving rumours of disciplined and hardened combat troops capable of enduring any terrain or tactical demand with no order being beyond their obedience. Such whispers have cemented the Battalion's place in the Imperial Army as the role model of what is expected from the Stormtrooper Corps in both the fighting prowess and endurance of its soldiers. Not only this, but the Moff Council has made a principle of increasing the amount of propaganda that surrounds the Katarn force, painting them as these noble troopers hailing from scattered worlds, come together to protect the people as well as defend the ideas of the First Empire.

A boost for morale no doubt when propaganda is regarded, but in recent times the Battalion has seen a shift towards serving as an elite force for Fleet Group A aboard the Bloodfin-class Heimdall that is dispatched to war fronts or engagements.



TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT

As poster boys for Imperial propaganda, Katarn Battalion is depicted in flashy political posters as the iron battalion pressing forward against an overwhelming force of heretics and usurpers. The passionate and near-fanatical nature of Katarn Battalion means that Cuy'val Dar instructors have been reluctant to train them, but that does not mean that cadets being transferred to the ranks of Katarn do not receive expert instruction. Where a compromise has been reached for Cuy'val Dar instructors to provide a customised intensive physical training regime with some accommodations for combat training, the remainder of the Imperial cadet's training is completed on Vardos where Imperial instructors provide a brutal and rigorous training regime to filter the final candidates. Recruits undergo tactical exercises in the most brutal combat environments both physically and mentally, before long being pitted against a score of war beasts and simulated enemy armies to test their combat efficiency. Where flaws are examined in the abilities of each cadet, quick improvements are made to double on combat challenges in order to push each Stormtrooper to move and think with a mixture of instinct and critical thought to deliver the best possible combat reaction.

The final stage sees recruits introduced to vehicle piloting lessons alongside training for zero-gravity and ship-to-ship boarding operations. Graduates are then gifted with their standard issue Stormtrooper armour and equipped with an FD-11 blaster rifle with the SE-14r light repeating blaster as a standard issue side arm. Armaments such as thermal detonators, frag grenades, cyroban grenades and even plasma grenades are offered alongside mortar, rotary cannon and E-Web placements.

BATTALION HQ - INQUISITOR RONAR JUN
Posted Image

PROFILE

Born a dreamer of the stars and a would-be adventurer, Ronar Jun grew up on Utapau a shy and introverted boy but one with dreams that went beyond the orbit of the sinkhole world. His aspirations as a bored merchant heir would attract him to the pilots and merchants passing through to inspect Utapau's exotic wares, pressing him on to barter for star charts to examine in his free time. When trade started to slow during the colder seasons a traveller would appear by the name of Malik, an altogether mysterious but powerful human and one Ronar could sense strange energies emitting from. By chance of Ronar meeting the Traveller at a swoop speeder race, the latter would come to reveal his purpose as an agent collecting information on Sith spies in the sector and in sensing the Pau'an's gift with the Force, offered to enlist him as a hopeful in the Imperial Knights.

His wanderlust would see him transferred off-world for training on Yinchorr, sparking the beginning of what he thought to be the start of a promising career as an Imperial Knight, but not before being shattered by the outbreak of an assault on Bastion. It would come to emerge after a day of jarred transmissions that the former crown Emperor Anthony Belladar had returned to usurp his brother Augustus and his aid-de-camp Risuco Bishop from government - to restore his right to rule. In an effort to make contact with his mentor and recruiter, the Pau'an made for Yinchorr's orbital station where attempts to communicate with Malik proved futile and without response. Devastated at the thought of Malik being dead and the Emperor deposed, Ronar absconded and deferred to a life of harnessing his technique as a force sensitive while using a repair store as a front. Only years later would another strange traveller appear, this time by the name of Juliana Bishop, a former Jensaarai and outcast like Ronar whom offered to carry on his training should he decide to swear fealty to the First Empire and aid its cause.


ROLE

Project Watcher sees the potential re-establishment of the Imperial Inquisition formed during the Palpatine-era Galactic Empire. Its chief cause is to secretly police the military and civilian bodies of the First Empire as clerics of the Imperial Code and as agents of the Moff Council tasked with purging enemies of the Empire and overseeing operations in the field. Ronar Jun is but one out of ten candidates selected to spearhead the program, serving with the title inquisitor but with the distinction and power of being able to detain anyone, seize anything and even condemn entire worlds to glass if suspected beyond salvation. A more pertinent role for Ronar, however, is functioning as an adviser and an elite scout-assassin capable of performing advanced reconnaissance as well as commanding troops during battle and even entire Star Destroyers.

Ronar's transfer to the Katarn Battalion sees the Inquisitor stationed under Lieutenant Colonel Davad Saryn as an enforcer and adviser, offering his instincts in the Force as well as his lightsaber expertise during combat. In honour of the Pau'an's loyalty to the former Empire, the Moff Council has granted Ronar command over his own Star Destroyer and force of Death Troopers that he commands as his HQ.
