History
"Nothing will grow there!"

When Voshkod Conscripts or Regulars fail to accomplish their assigned duties, they are usually transferred to the Chemical Trooper Divisions. Chemical Troopers are Vieran soldiers who are outfitted with specialized biohazard gear that allows them to walk through toxins unharmed (although it was very delicate and offered little protection against weapons fire).

Chemical Troopers were deployed by the Voshkod to clean up the battlefields of Eorzea, where the remains of the deceased were often contaminated with residue from Desolator Strikes and destroyed Super Reactors. More often than not, they ended up using variants of the Desolator compound to dissolve any remains, as the Voshkod couldn't find anything more effective when it came to wiping out any trace of life from the land. And within the Vieran Reserves they serve as soldier too.

These weapons were similar in operation to a flamethrower, with the exception that instead of flamethrower fuel in the tanks, it contained special chemicals under extremely high pressure. Voshkod Chemical Troopers needed to be split up, because if the unit was killed, there was a high probability that the tank full of flammable chemicals would be set on fire, damaging nearby infantry. Thus, Voshkod commanders often placed them behind front-line infantry, but also spread apart, which was at times difficult because of the weapon's short, but non-zero range.
