THE 61ST HEAVY WEAPONS/SIEGE BATTALION

ORIGINS

The 61st Heavy Weapons/Siege Battalion is a specialist heavy weapons unit concerning itself not only with providing immense firepower, but also the expertise of conducting siege warfare. Their origins date back to the Clone Wars as a clone unit nicknamed 'Doom's Unit' that participated in the Battle of Ringo Vinda aboard its space station utilising shields and blasters. Aside from serving as the unit of Jedi Generals Tiplee and Tiplar, no further elaboration is provided on their role - save for their use of siege and heavy weapons tactics. Under the First Empire and in a more modern period, 'Doom's Unit' has been restyled as the 61st Heavy Weapons/Siege Battalion with a mandate designed to see the Battalion push back dug in enemy positions or well fortified sections as well as providing demolitions and field artillery support.

With their patron Moff Lucaii declaring them to be the most impressive counter-siege unit put second to the Mandalorian Ori'ramikade, the 61st have set out to meet their reputation by adopting an ethos that the job isn't finished until its done properly. This has lead to not only troopers of the 61st becoming stringent with respect to seeing out their orders until the end, but also 61st personnel adopting a methodical and organised approach that sees the Battalion adopt formation shifting tactics that rely heavily on correspondence and discipline within the unit. The green style paint scheme of the 61st has also been continued from the point of the Clone Wars but on an understanding that from their Mandalorian instructors, the 61st have learned of the colour green translating to duty as a symbol that the 61st are willing to perish before allowing an opponent to succeed over their cunning and relentless tactics.



TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT

Drilled relentlessly by way of an intense training regimen devised by their Cuy'val Dar instructors, the clone troopers of the 61st are no strangers to mind blowing environments, heart bursting combat scenarios and a range of other physically and mentally draining simulations that form part of their training. Their role as siege specialists demands that not only 61st troopers be able to suppress a large amount of combat stresses like shell shock, morale disruption, surging emotions while being able to maintain a clear head around the explosions and death taking place around them. It comes of no surprise then that members of the Battalion are reputed for being quite cold and not forming attachments at all outside of their unit, meaning that other clone units often see them as either being arrogant or anti-social when it comes to exchanges. It also means that troops of the 61st are devoted to their combat studies and scholarly subjects as masters of not only masters of providing heavy fire and siege capabilities, but also as a Battalion that prides itself on having a strict knowledge of mathematics, navigation and aerial maneuvering that not only demands an expertise in these matters but also for members to communicate frequently during operations both on and off the field.

It is this cohesion that sees the 61st use the brotherhood between its troopers in tandem with formation tactics to conduct insane counter-advances against even the most dug in and defended opponent. In fact, so cunning and sneaky are the 61st reputed to be, that a tactic known as boxing has seen troopers slowly wedge around a fortified opponent before squaring in and boxing it in to unleash a deadly torrent of blaster and artillery fire more than capable of reducing anything before them to slag. With regard to their armour and equipment, the clone troopers of the 61st Battalion are equipped with the same set of armour as the 104th Battalion 'Wolf Pack' - the only difference being that 61st troopers have blast-shielding padded armour available that was similarly available to clone gunners and heavy clone troopers. In addition to having improved sensors to detect even the minutest wall breach, crevasse or sharpshooting point, the troopers of the 61st carry blast shields, Z-6 rotary cannons, a DC-15s carbine as well as an array of incendaries and field explosives crucial to their role.

ORGANISATION

  • OPS HQ - OVERLORD - Admiral Arumus Kilstar (Codename: Winterstorm)

    • Functions as the sole SUPCOM and ultimate authority of the Corps.
      Offered real-time communication to the Corps and its command, along
      with the insurance of an installed killswitch that when activated
      should the need arise, triggers an overload in the neural chip that induces
      an electrical overload of the brain of each trooper in the event the near
      or entirety of the Corps is compromised.


  • OPS SENIOR COM - SENTINEL - Designated Oveers and Moffs (Codename: Varied)
    • A secret group of Moffs and military staff whether it be in sector
      governors or admirals, these officials are trusted to secretly ferry,
      equip and martial the Corps when they are required for combat duty.
      These appointed officials are not only sworn to secrecy, but they also
      employ secret lines of communication and code words that see hundreds
      of movements regarding the Corps put through but the main executive
      kept unawares of what truly transpires.


  • OPS BASE COM - DISCIPLE - Clone Commanders and Officers (Codename: Varied)
    • Ranked from Lieutenant to - Commander, the base command of the
      92nd is composed of those bred and selected for leadership as well as
      the capacity for less moderated independent thinking. This permits the
      officers not only to display a greater prowess as versatile commanders
      off and on the field, but also as in-field leaders designed to direct and
      push the mettle of the men in proving their ability not as elite soldiers
      but also as ferocious warriors to be reckoned with. NCO staff are also
      clone troopers - ranks in this tier include private, corporal, sergeant.
