Here we go, a fluff thread, for posting about your armies background nad stuff. I have quite a bit written, so here goes my first:
My LAMI have the same colour as the canon scheme but brown instead of grey. Thus the name.
Wachowski’s Warthogs (Light Armour Mobile Infantry)
‘The Hardest Sons of Bitches in the Galaxy!’
Wachowski’s Warthogs were an invasion company created for Klendathu, and indeed were one of the first, veterans in part of Cap troopers platoons sent to test the equipment of the ‘new wave’ before it went into production. These Veterans were part of the Infamous platoon known as Bjorn’s Bears, who are now on the run from SICON. They are a story for a different report. Suffice to say they were accused but never proven of war crimes, and forever disgraced. After court hearings, they were shipped off to a mud ball in the far reaches of SICON territory, guarding a prison world in the worst equipment that was given to them. This shoddy equipment would be the beginning of the Invasion companies. In the year leading up to Klendathu, there were many prison riots, and indeed, there were so many that eventually it was war. Prisoners were executed, but the disgraced troopers earned recognition for their dedication to the cause, despite what they were speculated to have done.
When the brass from SICON came to investigate, they applauded the skill at which so few prison guards could hold back so many berserk conflicts. There were casualties on both sides, and after investigation, it was discovered that a recent prisoner transferred brought control bugs with him, infecting a few officers and convicts, which lead to the anarchy in the prison. The Guards were reinstated to the mobile infantry, for one they had earned respect once again, and also because the prison was a wreck. It was bombed from orbit and stricken from the records.
SICON leaders filed the type of equipment and worked on cost effective but subtle upgrades to the guard’s uniforms, and when Buenos Aires was hit, they put there plan into full swing to use such equipment in the newly formed invasion companies, as Capsule Troopers could not be trained so quick in war time.
The Guard of Prison World Delta-Celesti were brought in once again, this time to train the recruits as drill instructors in this equipment and in tactics they had learned over the previous year as a military unit outside of power suits.
During the war, the newly formed Warthogs were stationed protecting the flank of SICON territory, fighting off enemies and manning garrisons, as they were too useful to squander on Klendathu.
After the massive Klendathu failure, the Warthogs were given the task of being at the forefront of mopping up after the major victories of the Road to victory, spending weeks, even months cleansing planets of alien presence in their territories before moving on, digging into the leftovers of Cap and Exosuit troopers.
Dorian Wachowski was the leader of the prison guards, and was relatively young compared to the rest of his comrades who he knew back in Bjorn’s Bears. With his leadership, the unit became redeemed, and have earned the right to don power suits again, but refuse, as a reminder of what they had done, and indeed, to prove they were the hardest motherfuckers in the entire galaxy.
