History
After the creation of the Defense of Humanity Act in 2161 as well as the events followed by the Great Flood, the Western parts of the United States succeeded from the government to form their own confederacy named Pacifica. This government embraced the new concepts of genetic engineering in order to cope with the changing environment, something that the newly formed Atlantic Alliance vehemently opposed resulting in tense hostilities between both factions.
Overview
Infantry types
Pacifican Light
The most basic type of soldiers within the Republic and consists of those soldiers that heard the call to protect their homelands from General Nathan Sheridan. This resulted in numerous civilians volunteering for military service and serve as the bulk in the Pacifican armies. A vast majority are genetically modified but do not wish to enter into a major war though the young and idealistic are often anxious to volunteer for further enhancements in order to defend their homeland as well as their way of life. This makes them the most common type of infantry within the Pacific Dragoon Light forces.
They do not posssess any form of experience and have little training but make up for this in their dedication and beligerence as well as their eagerness. The Dragoon Light often volunteer for the more dangerous of missions which are often quite suicidal but are a tenacious foe as well as possess large numbers to throw at their enemies.
To aid them in battle, the Dragoon Light have been genetically enhanced to improve their reaction times as well as combat awareness. Their heightened senses allow them to remain calm even in the most of chaotic of battles. This allows them to not only identify threats but dodge enemies that are normally unavoidable. They do not wear the more specialized type of protective armor but do make use of the Pacifican rifle or the Atlantis Alliance bulldog weapons which allows them to fight enemies at ranged or in close quarters.
Pacifican Medium
The Medium type infantry are filled by veteran soldiers who are enlisted into the Pacifican armies to provide a level of experience to the mass of volunteer type Pacifican Lights. These soldiers are skilled and knowledegeable in the ways of war which allows them to bring their expertise to the military and serve as a more dangerous opponent. They were tasked to serve as armored infantry where they worked to defend important Pacifican bases and locations. This makes them an invaluable component to the Republic.
They are armed either with Invader shotguns or Pacifican rifles which, when combined with their skills, means they are equally adept at fighting at range or in close quarter engagements. Previous wartime experience means that they are capable of confusing their enemies with advanced tactics. To further add to their weaponry is a living suit of armor that encases the soldier in a second skin that heals any damages sustained on the battlefield. This allows the Medium infantry to shrug off light and medium weapon fire. A special carapace works to protect vital organ areas.
To compliment the armor, genetically modified organic fibers inside it increases its muscle mass giving them a greater level of endurance, strength as well as speed. Though they possess all these advanced abilities and protective armor, these soldiers are noted for a weak spot in the head which can result in an easy kill by Atlantic Alliance forces.
Pacifican Invader
The Invaders were a more special type of Pacifican soldier that were used in addition to the Dragoon all purpose infantry units which have only been recently been added to the battlefield. They represent the latest in genetic engineering and weapon development produced by the Republic and were proven to be a force to be reckoned with on the field. As such, their exo-suits are the latest development and most advanced as the Pacifican scientists seek to produce an armor that not only protects its user but self repairs itself as well as monitors health signs in order to make a truly symbiotic living suit.
The armor was seemingly impenetrable and able to resist small arms fire making them useless on these soldiers though intelligence reports by the Atlantic Alliance suggests that there is one weak spot that can be exploited. In addition to their armor, they make use of Invader type shotguns as these infantry are suited for close quarter combat. Their close range weapon ensures that maximum damage is attained against the enemy forces resulting in carefully planned engagements by the Invaders as they plan to get into close proximity to their enemies.
The near impenetrable armor and desire for close quarter fighting means that the Invaders have a psychological impact on their enemies which is a further asset to the Republic of Pacifica's military forces.
Pacifican Sherman
Named after the German tank that was used in the 20th century, the Pacifican Sherman are infantry who have been genetically modified to make their bodies into living weapons making them the most formidable of enemies on the battlefield. It was noted that the Pacifican forces were desperate in the search for more worthwhile soldiers to use against their enemies. Little was known of their genetic makeup in terms of there human/animal origins but what is known is the green glow generated by their bodies is composed of a highly potent poison known as XP-61 which is fatal to 100% of Human cases.
The Sherman's were augmented through unknown means which resulted in their arms being replaced with an organic grenade launcher. This builtin weapon was capable of firing grenade type projectiles across a distance on the field. What makes them even more dangerous was the grenades being composed of both shrapnel and XP-61. While individually they are a deadly threat, together they are even more so as any wounds formed by the shrapnel results in exposure to the poison which lingers into the body until the victim suffers death. This results in extremely toxic wounds with both burn as well as genetic damage being an outcome.
In addition to this, the Shermans make use of an exo-suit that is similar to that of the Invader type making it only possible for to bring down these warrior with heavy firepower. However, these Pacifican soldiers contain one last weapon which is unveiled upon their death. When they are killed, the lack of electric activity from their nervous system begins to affect their stores of XP-61 which becomes more unstable. The result is spontaneous cpmbustion with a large explosion capable of killing any enemies in close proximity to the Sherman as their last attempt at bringing down their enemies.
