Blackjacks, 10th Heavy Ranger Battalion (T2 Sniper Rifle)

Description

The Blackjacks are not only one of the toughest units of USARF, but also one of the most lethal. They are known as “The Winning Hand”, probably because their deployment always means a sure victory without concessions; this unit was created to withstand the brunt of the fighting and put an end to the enemy. The Tenth battalion was not created to take prisoners, and this is something that their members always bear in mind. After the battle, the Blackjacks walk among their fallen enemies and deliver a final shot to ensure no survivors; they drop an ace of spades on each body as a business card. This sinister custom has turned that card into a symbol of death known throughout the planet Dawn.

The Blackjacks are a top level unit of the USARF; they are amongst the most ambitious projects of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Services of the USAriadnan Department of Defense. It is said that the Blackjacks entered battle just moments after being created as a combat unit, sent directly to the battlefield as soon as their status was no longer “experimental unit”, having received the green light from High Command to enter active service.

So eager were the upper echelons of the USARF to put them to the test in battle, and to let them perform their lethal magic, in order to silence the critics of the Blackjack program. This project was called into question after the first field trials, in which the prototypes of Buffalo servopowered armour demonstrated major operational problems in live-fire conditions. However, once it had passed through the lengthy and expensive test period, the Buffalo armour became one of the main components of native Ariadnan military technology.
