Fusilier
Hardened veterans transferred from the Stormtrooper corps, the Fusiliers are the results of a powerful training program, with a 22% fatality rate and a 97% drop-out rate for the survivors.

One of their greatest advantages is their all-weather survival training, making them more capable of fighting in foreign and hostile climates than the average soldier. In addtion, Fusuliers are taught about common alien physiology, to administer aid or to quickly aliminate a potantial threat.

Armed with a modified SC3 Battle Rifle, vibroblades and Bonadan Alloy Light Suits with integrated repulsorpack systems and helmet systems such as filters and visor modes. This equipment is created by Ouroboros, Fusiliers are highly mobile due to their comparatively lightweight loadout. They come prepared for a variety of situations. larger teams have personnel armed with the Harkonnen anti-material sniper rifle, which requires a two-man team to operate, and the MW-22 man portable mortar system for use against entrenched enemies and vehicles.

Note: Not counting support personnel. There are only between 400 and 1000 Fusiliers at a time, forming a single battalion. This is due to the extremely difficult training program and quality of the Fusiliers.

Hussar
Developed to work in conjunction with Fusiliers while maintaining the mobility and versatility of the infantry and the rest of the Special Armed Response Force and yet still have formidable firepower and durability, the Hussar repulsor tank is a mainstay in SARF ground operations but ill-fit for prolonged skirmishes against true armoured units.

The Hussar only requires a single crew member to act as its pilot, gunner and commander, conditions within the Hussar are cramped as they are regardless. Most space is taken up by the technology and energy embedded into the vehicle such as the repulsorlift generator, light shield generator, long-range communications systems and weapon charging systems.

Hussars come equipped with two medium laser cannons controlled directly by its pilot while a droid brain controls the light repeater for use against aerial targets and infantry formations.

Starfighter (15.2m)
Hardened veterans transferred from the Nexus Enclave's starfighter corps, these aces are signed on with SARF.

The XR-900 Geophelia, equipped with experimental COFFIN technology, is the best starfighter in the Nexus Enclave. Armed with two Medium Laser Cannons and a single Proton Torpedo or Concussion Missile Launcher, the Geophelia is lightly armed and lightly armoured but extremely fast and highly maneuverable with excellent shields.

Halcyon
R-330 Halcyon
Shuttle (18.7m)
The R-330 Halcyon, equipped with experimental COFFIN technology, is the fastest transport in the Nexus Enclave.

Armed with a single twin rapid-fire blaster cannon and two missile pods above the troop rampart and beneath the cockpit. The Halcyon is lightly armed and lightly armoured but extremely fast and highly maneuverable with excellent shields. It can carry a strike squad of ten troops along with vital supplies such as ammunition and medical equipment.

Triakis
R-701 Triakis-class
Superlight Corvette (40m)
Designed and made specifically for the Special Armed Response Force to gather intelligence and keep hostile starfighters at bay.

The Triakis-class is the first superlight corvette in the galaxy, needing only a minimum crew of three to five people. Appropriately armed for its size and role within the SARF, the Triakis is meant for rapid skirmishes but not prolonged engagement. It is armed with three double laser cannons and two medium laser cannons mounted at the tip of the starship.

Delphinus
R-103 Delphinus-class
Frigate (210m)
This SARF-exclusive warship was made to spearhead assault forces into the unknown.

Equipped with excellent shields and powerful engines at the cost of armour durability, the R-103 Delphinus can take a bit of punishment as it maneuvers into its optimal firing position. It comes armed with three heavy long-range turbolasers and twenty-six turbo laser cannons. The Delphinus comes with a hangar, though these are not as grand as that of the Orcinus they can function as a temporary refuge for Geopelia and Halcyon pilots or provide safety for refugees.

Orcinus
R-221 Orcinus-class
Cruiser (433m)
The R-221 Orcinus is a home away from home for the SARF and the heart of their field operations.

Equipped with state-of-the-art Neucom-Ouroboros hybrid electronics, it can easily manage over the four Geophelia starfighter squadrons it carries. The vessel, like all SARF starships, is very fast and has great shielding technology but little in the way of hull plating. Its armament consists of ten double medium turbolasers, four foreward facing medium turbolasers and two foreward facing heavy turbolasers. The vessel can carry little under four-hundred troops along with cargo. Room can be made to accommodate for additional passengers, however.
