Sukhur's Legion was a Battleteam attached to House Galeres of Clan Arcona before it was decommissioned in 35 ABY and rephased into the Arcona Army Corps as a sniper/scout unit.


The Basis of Sukhur's Legion

Sukhur’s Legion was founded by the Krath Archpriest Xuthen in the year 31 ABY. The battleteam was designed to serve primarily as a scouting team set in place to give support to the other battleteams in House Galeres, However, in 33 ABY it found itself joining only a select few of the battleteams under one banner as both houses became unified through the reformation of Clan Arcona that formed a single, solitary house: House Arcona. As a result their focus was refined, becoming the main reconnaissance team of House Arcona.

Arcona has since re-clanned, and Sukhur's Legion are once again attached to House Galeres.

Sukhur’s Legion is normally the first to land on a planet, and, through their covert techniques, gathers information on the layout, as well as the important tactical positions of any opposing force and their defenses. The information is then relayed to other battleteams such as the The Black Minute Association, giving them an idea of where to direct their operations.

Considered masters of both jungle warfare and extreme wildness survival, the training required to enter the ranks of Sukhur’s Legion is both intense and relentless. Renowned for containing the best snipers in Arcona, the members are normally handpicked by the current leader, given training, and then sent off into the wilderness to test their survival skills. If they complete the trial without the assistance of the rest of the battleteam they are accepted into the ranks of Sukhur’s Legion. They are then forced to endure the trials once more with the entire squad in an attempt to not only gauge their ability to work as a member of the team, but also to forge a lasting bond between them.


History

The Founding

In the wake of the Ninth Great Jedi War, Clan Arcona proved their strength over the other clans, distinguishing themselves through their unwavering service as the superior clan during the war, rising above all others and earning distinct recognition. However, as the overall losses were tallied, and the rewards for their services collected, it was deemed that they would still need to ready themselves for any future attacks. They set forth to make themselves stronger than ever, by setting out to create new battle teams, each one demonstrating their own deadly skills on the battlefield. The chance fell upon the Krath Archpriest Xuthen to create and shape a new battleteam, one that could not only bypass but also rip apart the defenses of their enemies. That team would be called Sukhur’s Legion.


Becoming the Legion

In the forming of this new battleteam Xuthen visited each of the existing ones in House Galeres, selecting members that she felt showed great promise. They were then forged into the great tacticians that they are today. The special training that each of them was forced to endure alone broke their spirits. The missions that they were sent on as a team were ruthless and bonded them. Days without food or water honed their survival skills. In the end they had begun their first steps on the road to becoming the Sukhur’s Legion that is known and feared today.


Weapons

Sukhur’s Legion has a number of specialized equipment ranging from sniper rifles, blasters, and survival knives to custom stealth armor and speeder bikes. Every member is extensively trained with each of the weapon groups in order to be a skilled marksman regardless of which one is available, not only giving them an advantage in survival but also allowing them to adapt by taking the weapons from a fallen enemy, if necessary.


Sniper Rifles

DLT-20A
DC-15a

The sniper rifle favored by the members of Sukhur’s Legion is the DLT-20A due to its efficiency at long range and the specialized grip that gives the rifle less recoil when firing. This weapon is also preferred because it has a quick rate of fire and when combined with the fact that it has little to no recoil it increases the efficiency at which targets can be dispatched on the battlefield.


Blasters

The blasters that are used by Sukhur’s Legion can range from any model as they are deliberately trained to be proficient with many of them. However, the blaster that they are specifically commissioned is the DC-15a blaster rifle, due mainly to the amount of attachments that can be fitted to the weapon, allowing for an auxiliary mode should part of the weapon become damaged in combat. In the unlikely event that the weapon malfunctions entirely, the team is still taught to rely on their training with many of the commonly used models so that in such a situation they can still take the weapon off of a fallen enemy and use it proficiently.


Sequencer Charge

Explosives

The standard explosive used by Sukhur’s Legion in all of their operations is the sequencer charge. Known for its excessive versatility, the charge has two adjustable settings and is designed to function in nearly any environment imaginable, even when underwater. In the automatic setting the explosive can function as a working land mine with its motion sensor, and while in the manual setting the charge can function as a multipurpose detonation pack, able to destroy equipment or breach sealed doors. The latter function is precisely why Sukhur's Legion values the explosive charge during infiltration missions, particularly its ability to disrupt power grids as well as overload power generators when strategically placed.


Vehicles

Speeder Bikes

The vehicle used by Sukhur’s Legion is the militarized 74-Z speeder bike.

74z Speederbike

These are fast and highly maneuverable, able to reach speeds up to and beyond five hundred kilometers per hour. The battle team uses these speeders to quickly get to their targets and destinations across all types of terrain. They are controlled using the handlebars at the front of the vehicle which adjust the speed, as well as foot pedals slung underneath the bottom of the bike which adjust altitude, with an impressive range of up to twenty-five meters. Though the 74-Y was originally designed for civilian use, the ones used by Sukhur’s Legion are the 74-Z Military variant.

As far as standard equipment, the 74-Z comes specially equipped with sensors and communication devices, both located between the handlebars for ease of use, that include a commlink unit as well as a commlink jamming device which the team makes extensive use of during undercover missions. The speeders are also armed, each containing forward rotating blaster cannons. Because of the necessity to reach high speeds, they come equipped with boosters. This allows them to quickly cover a greater amount of distance which can prove useful to the team when time is of the essence.


Armor

Stealth Armor

Sukhur's Armor

Sukhur's Legion relies heavily on stealth armor due to the fact that the majority of their assignments are scouting missions. The suit that has come to be accepted as standard issue for each member is known as the Model 1010 Photo-reactive Personal Armor, which is light weight and coated with photo-reactive crystals that allow the member to blend into the background of nearly any environment, cloaking the wearer entirely by creating the perfect camouflage. Because of this the members of the team become almost completely undetectable, allowing them, in theory, to move through a contested area safely without alerting the enemy to its presence. This also makes the battle team incredibly versatile as far as other support missions go, by enabling them to take part in both ambush and infiltration missions as they see fit with a distinct advantage normally unavailable to most squads.
