Adrian Kessler - Your mentor

Vanguard

Vanguard, the squadron's emblem.

He carries a large protective shield that he used to cover his comrades as they advanced under enemy fire.

Their job was to absorb the shots and clear the way for the rest of the team to attack from behind them. In addition, the Vanguard are given a bulletproof helmet that is more resistant than that of ordinary soldiers, withstanding more bullets, but not reaching the armor of the Lancer.

As a Shocktrooper, his defensive equipment became even more resilient; instead of his shield, he now carries a heavy metal plate on his back that he can position to support his new weapon, a devastatingly powerful, high-caliber automatic machine gun capable of wiping out entire squads, but it is very inaccurate if not supported by something and has great recoil, and he cannot run or jump while firing or reloading.

Lancer

The Lancer was a close combat unit, equipped with a heavy lance and a reinforced helmet that allowed it to withstand blows that would knock down other soldiers, and they also carried a painkiller that prevented them from feeling pain for a good while.

Their function was to break through defensive lines and advance directly towards the enemy.

When he became a Shocktrooper, his equipment became even heavier and his stamina increased, making him an extremely difficult shock force to stop. In addition, instead of a spear, he now carries a high-rate-of-fire, high-impact semi-automatic shotgun that can take down enemies in a single shot at certain and medium distances, and it has a bayonet on the end.

Officer

The Officer, also known as captain within some squadrons, was in charge of directing the battle.

Use command tools to coordinate attacks, boost soldier morale, and mark important targets; have a whistle to give orders such as defend, improve aim, and improve troop pace. In his Shocktrooper form, he carried a large radio on his back, connected to reconnaissance systems that transmitted information about the enemy's location in real time, allowing his squad to react much faster to enemy movements.

Officers are the only class that does not wear a bulletproof helmet, wearing a hat instead.

Mortician

The Mortician is the specialist in chemicals and medical support, and they also wear a mask that protects them from toxic gas.

He used compounds and syringes to heal soldiers, enhance their capabilities, or weaken enemies with experimental substances.

When he becomes a Shocktrooper, his equipment changes completely: he receives a flamethrower capable of firing continuously for about a minute and a half, making him a devastating threat inside enclosed tunnels, but its range is not very long and if he receives several shots to his fuel tank on his back, it can explode.

Rook

The Rook was the battlefield engineer. They were in charge of digging tunnels, their clothes were more resistant to explosions and they carried a much larger and heavier pickaxe than the other classes, building defenses such as wooden walls, barbed wire, barricades with sandbags, small supply boxes and opening new underground routes using heavy tools and explosives such as TNT.

When a Rook is equipped as a Shocktrooper, he receives an extremely powerful experimental .50 caliber anti-materiel rifle. The weapon had such brutal force that each shot left the shooter temporarily deaf, but it was capable of penetrating heavy cover and eliminating targets that other weapons could not, as well as being able to knock down Vanguards with the impact of the bullet; they use 5-round magazines.

Soldier

The Soldat was the standard soldier and the basis of any squadron. He was versatile, could carry a lot of equipment, and usually took charge of fighting directly against the enemy while also distributing ammunition to his companions when necessary, in addition to having better accuracy and handling of weapons than most. Its Shocktrooper version specialized in breaking through enemy positions using experimental low-caliber light automatic weaponry to quickly clear tunnels, a 30-round 9mm caliber weapon with a high rate of fire and little recoil.

Jaager

The Jaeger was a specialist in sabotage and ambushes.

He set traps, used smoke, and attacked from unexpected positions to destabilize the enemy. In addition, the Geagers are the only class that puts a toxin called POX on their bullets, which makes people cough violently and makes it difficult for them to aim.

His Shocktrooper version had a peculiar ability: he could completely turn off his flashlight, allowing him to see much better in the dark, moving through tunnels without revealing his position while hunting enemies from the shadows. He could also track his prey and generate terror in enemy ranks with his presence. He was also given a 10-round semi-automatic rifle that was silenced and didn't make much noise.

Their traps range from bear traps, a small explosive charge triggered by a tripwire, a toxic gas bomb operated by a tripwire, a trip light, dynamite that explodes when shot, and a shotgun shell fired by a tripwire.

Classes

In underground warfare, armies developed distinct specialized roles to survive in the tunnels and caverns where battles were fought. Each type of soldier fulfilled a different function within the squad, from clearing paths to protecting comrades or keeping them alive. From time to time, Shocktroopers appeared on the battlefield—rare fighters equipped with special or experimental gear. They were not common; only a select few soldiers received this type of weaponry. When one appeared in combat, it usually meant the battle was about to escalate.

Lore

In this timeline we are in approximately 1930, so the weapons carried by the shocktroopers are experimental weapons.

There are no modern weapons or technological things that are so complex; the most sophisticated method of transport is the train.

For years, the world was divided between two great powers: the Golden Empire and the Royal Nation. The Golden Empire was a powerful empire ruled by a Queen, a central figure in its society. The empire valued unity, discipline, and obedience, believing that the world could only remain stable under a strong authority that guided everyone toward a common purpose. In contrast, the Royal Nation was an alliance of countries ruled by a King, who led the coalition and represented the independence of its nations. This faction championed values ​​such as liberty, patriotism, and autonomy, opposing the expansion and control of the Golden Empire. Tensions between the two powers had been growing for years until an event triggered the war: the assassination of a prince of the Royal Nation. The prince's death led to accusations against the Golden Empire and unleashed a military escalation that soon became all-out war. The conflict became so devastating that the planet's surface was destroyed by years of bombing and industrial warfare. Cities were left in ruins, and large regions of the world became uninhabitable. In response, the populations of both sides moved underground, building enormous networks of tunnels and underground shelters. However, the war never ended. Even in the depths of the planet, the armies of the Golden Empire and the Royal Nation continued to fight in narrow passages and dark caverns, keeping alive a conflict that had already buried the entire world.
