The DefCorps is a formidable, experienced fighting force with excellent weaponry, much of it copied from Legion technology. The DefCorps trooper is tenacious and skilled. He does not fight for the System, but for himself and for his comrades. In most cases, he will not stop until you kill him. Respect your enemy!
A-suit – Like the Legion A-suit, DefCorps armor is a lightweight superdense cenite armor self-sealing hydro-powered combat vac suit. The current Atlas model can be identified by the bronze-colored patina. Systie cenite armor is not up to current Legion standards, but it is effective personnel armor. The DefCorps A-suit is a fully integrated weapons system with tacmods, tacmaps, and links to Starfleet and DefCorps battlenets. It is equipped with a renewable potable water supply, a limited internal comrats capability, access ports for med syringes and disposable tubes for liquid waste. A-suit hydros provide DefCorps troopers with superhuman strength when required. The DefCorps A-suit tacmod assures one-round hits for all ordnance. The DefCorps A-suit is vulnerable to direct non-angled hits by auto xmax and laser as well as tacstars, airsat or soilsat. Omni genetic probes and genetic snakes can also overcome cenite armor unless countered properly.
Aircar, assault – The DefCorps Pterosaur model nuclear-powered armored aircar is the primary air assault weapon for a DefCorps squad and is equipped to insert a nine-man squad downside and subsequently provide aircover with tacstars, laser and stunstars as a battlefield superiority weapon. The DefCorps aircar is inferior to the Legion aircar in both speed and armor. Range is unlimited.
Biobloc – The DefCorps biobloc weapon system targets and destroys the genes of human and nonhuman species and subspecies by manipulating the natural biofreq of the organism to stimulate an immediate massive immune response to the target’s own genes, resulting in suffocation and rapid death. The System has refused ConFree proposals to outlaw this weaponry. The SG battle rifle includes a biobloc capability.
Grenades, contac – DefCorps M2 concussion and M4 fragmentation grenades, both using contac explosive charges, are available in hand and autolauncher models. Casualty producing radius for both is 25 mikes.
Grenades, deceptor – DefCorps M4 deceptor grenades scramble all tacmods by generating electromagnetic interference and thus shield movement of their units. Effective radius is 200 mikes.
Knife, Combat, M1 – The standard DefCorps battle blade, like the Legion Mark 1, is made from a single slab of cenite and is virtually indestructible
Manlink – The DefCorps Manlink Equalizer Model is modeled after the Legion Manlink. It is a specialized man-portable shoulder-fired tactical artillery weapon that fires tacstars and stunstars. One trooper per DefCorps squad is normally equipped with the Manlink. Max effective range is 4,000 mikes.
SG – The standard individual weapon of the DefCorps trooper, the StarGuard (SG) compact shoulder-fired tube-fed general-purpose battlefield superiority rifle is a virtual clone of the E Mark 1, equipped with a zoom scope, laser sights, darksight and flash, and standard xmax, xmin, laser, and vac capabilities. Max effective range is 1,800 mikes for x and 3,600 for laser. It is equipped with a grenade launcher for contac, smoke, and gas grenades and ports for flares. The miniature caseless armor-piercing explosive xtex rounds are fired electronically and full auto rate is1,750 rounds per frac or 87,500 per mark. The weapon has no moving parts except for the rounds themselves and the xtex generator that creates and feeds the rounds into the firing tube. X, laser and v capabilities are integral to the weapon; the other rounds require replenishment of ampacks. It is fully integrated with the trooper’s tacmod and provides one-round hits on all targets. The SG is rugged and dependable.
Stunstar- The DefCorps Stunstar is a Manlink-launched non-lethal nerve weapon designed to disable the enemy by inducing loss of voluntary muscular activity and loss of consciousness. Stunstars interfere with normal nerve impulses and have proven useful for taking prisoners.
Tacstar – The DefCorps tacstar is a Manlink-launched micro-nuke designed for shock troops to rapidly impose tactical superiority over the enemy.
