Description

A little-known but highly effective unit, radiation zone troopers operate in one of most hostile combat terrains faced by Imperial forces (the first most hostile terrain being space). Although all stormtrooper armor insulates against low-level radiation, radtroopers are specially equipped with sealed anti-radiation armor, allowing them to stay in Grade 5 Oethal) zones for hours at a time. Most radiation-flooded zones have no enemy to fight, but the zones that do have inhabitants tend to have very hardy and lethal ones.

Radiation troopers are also used as the first wave of ground troops against targets attacked with neutron bombardments. Neutron bombardment irradiates an area, killing or incapacitating a large percentage of the local population but leaving the buildings and physical infrastructure intact. The radiation dissipates after several days, allowing Imperial troops to move in safely. Since these bombardments do not kill the entire population (a certain percentage is shielded, or simply survives in radiation-shadow areas), Imperial command is unwilling to leave the targets alone and sends in radiation troopers to mop up. Resistance can be very fierce, as a large number of any shielded survivors are military personnel, usually fatally irradiated but not yet seriously impaired. This is a very difficult and dangerous enemy, and radtroopers are highly trained to deal with them. Since energy weapons have a high failure rate in radiation zones, radtroopers are expert in melee combat, using force pikes and vibroweapons to eliminate lingering resistance.

Radtroopers are also used in other highly toxic zones, as their armor is also proof against biological and chemical contaminants. Aside from the need to operate in accidentally or naturally occurring biochem zones, the Imperial arsenal includes biochem weapons, used in essentially the same way as radiation weapons.

-''Sealed Body Glove:''
-Climate-controlled anti-radiation body glove and breath mask allows operation in uncomfortably cold or warm climates, toxic-air enviornments, and light radiation zones.
-''MFTAS:'' Multi-Frequency Targeting Acquisition System; adds +2D to Perception checks in low-visibility situations, +2D to ranged weapon skill uses against targets moving more than 10 meters per round; polarized lenses prevent flash-blinding.
-''Utility Belt:'' High-tension wire, grappling hooks, spare blaster power packs, ion flares, concentrated rations, spare comlink, water packs, 2 medpacs, anti-radiation pills, two additional detox hypos, radiation tent, water purifier, extra breathing filters, and radiation meter.
-''Anti-radiation:'' The armor is treated with a radiation reflective coating, which insulates the wearer against heavy radiation zones. A Heat and radiation backpack cooling unit supplements the body glove in heavy radiation.
