Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Vieran Shock Trooper

"Ready to break their lines!"

-Vieran Shocktrooper leaving the Conscription Center

The Vieran variant of the Shock Trooper is the one of the infantry forces for the Vieran Reserves, replacing the Tesla Trooper. Planned to be voiced by Jonathan Bailey, using his G'raha voice, but more lean to the Shock Troopers personality from ROTR.

Tactical analysis

 * Crowd-Pleaser: The Vieran Shock Trooper are some of the very best combat troopers of any of the armies involved in this strange, violent world. Equipped with 30mm rocket rifle able to shred infantry, light vehicles, battlesuits, and helicopters and even menace heavier vehicles if they can flank them or focus on their components, their power armor makes them uncrushable, immune, or resistant to most RBC attacks, and lets them shrug off most standard anti-personnel weapons like rain drops.
 * Here comes the Ball Room Blitz: When they need to deal with a large number of enemies at once or need to EMP incoming enemies, they can charge up and fire off a ball-lightning blast that will fill the area with enough electricity to reduce humans to skeletons and steel to slag while overloading most electrical systems, temporarily stunning them and allowing them to go around and attack the flanks of the disabled enemy with impunity or push through the opened hole in the enemy's lines.
 * And They Shall Know no Fear: Due to their training, and being based on the Voshkod's sub-orbital satellites, the Shock Trooper can be deployed anywhere on the map the commander can see, letting them reinforce the front or conduct a surprise attack.
 * The Bulwark against the Bulwark: While some of the very best in the world, Shock Trooper do have limits. The size of their rounds limits their ammunition and so they tend to be quite conservative with their shots, reducing their effectiveness at suppression. They are also vulnerable to medium caliber weapons such as autocannons to anti-infantry, and fixed-wing aircraft which are significantly more difficult to properly get a bead on than helicopters.

Overview
The Vieran Shock Troopers are Fran's elite heavy troopers. These Vierans undergo extreme training and suspected brainwashing in Norvrandt. In the process, they lose all respect for life. They become war machines, living only to defend Voshkod. They display fanatical devotion toward their general and carry out even the most dangerous or merciless order without hesitation. They would adopt any means necessary to ensure victory and as a unit they have several charges of war crimes against them.

They bear with them harsh training experience, and Viera's heaviest and most advanced equipment, including advanced body armor based off the Tesla Trooper, enough to stop a tank from crushing them. This also includes their iconic heavy weapon, Valerya Aleeksev's 30mm Rocket Rifle, rumored to be "based" (stolen) on the Coalitions bolter (or in the Dwarf's own words, "An umgak knockoff of their design", and then promptly wrote all Shock Troopers, and its designer, into the book of grudges for "making an insulting, shoddy, and weak knockoff of their design" (rivaling the Syndicate and their Gyrojet weapons)), capable of unleashing a barrage of firepower upon their unfortunate foes. And many Shock Troopers, in payback for the insult, are known to carry the ears of Astartes and Coalition Dwarfs, and cords made of beards in the case of the latter. The Coalition returns in kind with many of their veteran forces proudly wearing trophies made of severed Vieran ears and broken Rocket Rifles while their armor has phrases insulting the Shock Troopers written on them.

Appearance
Their attire of the Vieran Shock Troopers is the same as the one from ROTR, albeit modified to fit with the Vieran body.

History
"Still trying to process the scale of this dub comrade."

-Sergeant Debrah James after the victory at Khe Sanh
