LANCER BATTALION

ORIGINS
Lancer Battalion is one of the most formidable units in the Imperial Army, cementing itself a reputation for enduring the harshest conflicts along with being skilled at weathering any perilous combat conditions that are put before them. The origins of the Battalion date back to the formation of Shark Battlegroup's 5th Imperial Corps when the hardened survivors of Eriadu were pooled together to form one of the finest and most experienced legions within the Empire at that period. It would transpire that after the events above Bastion leading to the destruction of Shark, that the 5th Imperial Corps would disband with a large portion of its members remaining within the Belladar Imperium with some finding refuge on Vardos as a non-Belladar aligned Imperial holdout. Those finding shelter on Kestro were soon traced and repatriated as training sergeants with the simple mission of establishing Lancer Battalion as a rough and ready elite Stormtrooper force called when enemy counter assaults breach containment, when the Empire requires a gauntlet to push through enemy lines.
Stormtroopers within Lancer Battalion are strictly known for their sentiment and heartfelt Imperialistic passions, as each recruit is carefully selected to serve as a determined and relentless enemy against those opposing the First Empire. As a morbid point, the Stormtroopers of Lancer Battalion often endure substantial casualties as a result of operating in the most intense combat environments, but this does not exclude the presence of a core group of veterans that have survived the sheer carnage of slaughter in the field by way of either skill or experience.

TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT
The tactics of Lancer Battalion see a combination of tactical maneuvering and advanced infantry warfare to shape the Stormtroopers of Lancer as a force concerned with forward offensives as well as impassable fortifications. The training for each Stormtrooper cadet going on to Lancer Battalion begins at the Imperial Army School on Vardos where above undergoing an intensive physical training regimen, candidates are put through gruelling discipline and training drills testing their constitution as much as their ability to mould into hardened soldiers. Training officers work equally hard to ensure that the Stormtroopers of Lancer Battalion are equipped the mindset of a thinking tactician, making the point that albeit Lancer Battalion's role in intensive engagements, meticulous efforts should be taken to strategically use troop and vehicle resources to achieve victory. Whether it be a mega-fortress perched above a nigh impregnable mountain or a water crevasse leading into a defended trench, the Stormtroopers of Lancer are trained to advance readily together with the might of preparation and unit cohesion to deliver tactical success.
Turning to the armour and weapons of the Battalion, Lancer is accorded the standard plastoid ceramic-type durasteel reinforced armour now common to all Stormtroopers. However, as the Battalion functions as a specialist heavy combat unit troopers are able to customise their armour with pauldrons and combat webbing and request specialist heavy weapons from the Battalion's quartermaster. The main battle rifle for the soldiers of Lancer Battalion is the F-11D blaster rifle with the SE-14r light repeating blaster as the standard issue sidearm; troopers are also provided with thermal, cyroban and plasma grenades for field combat. With respect to more specialist weapons, Stormtroopers can requisition anything from the Westar-M5 blaster rifle, Z-6 rotary cannon right through to a blast shield or a BB-23 heavy blaster cannon - anything is provided. The Lancer Battalion is also known to employ mortar, E-Web cannon crews and even utilise its own internal artillery sections albeit minor in scale.
