Assault Trooper

"We were given suicidal missions. Every mission we were sent on, our superiors never expected us to survive. You could say they trained us to march to our death."

- Jennifer Powell

Assault Troopers are personnel who have been recruited into the Eclipse Army Special Forces Ranger Regiment. TITAN-X General Riley Rose was the individual responsible for the Ranger Regiment's founding and establishing its purpose in the Eclipse Military.

Since 2114, all Assault Troopers are either conscripted children and orphans or clones.

Training
Along with their previous training, those chosen to become Assault Troopers are given additional training by TITANs to further increase their efficiency and strength in combat. This includes rigorous physical exercises, courses and a series of mental tests. This method of training would always yield impressive results to the leadership, favouring these methods.

However, in 2114, the Special Operations Command conducted a change in the Ranger Regiment. This change included no longer recruiting personnel from the Eclipse Military and instead turned to conscripting orphans and young children, and making use of cloning technology, with the assistance of the DELTA Commission and Nakamura Cloning Division. This allowed the Ranger Regiment to train personnel from a young age, still applying their training methods.

Missions
Because of this additional training, these troopers are given near-suicidal missions and are never expected to survive. This is due to their training they received, as they prove to be the most capable special forces infantry in the Eclipse Military. Those that do survive their missions become hardened veterans.

They were sometimes referred to as "dumb-downed" TITANs.
