Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

Two pieces of equipment have been developed for use by SCOPE squads with the aim of adding some extra firepower without adding too much weight. The first of these is a modification of the M404 one use missile launcher. When compacted it resembles a two foot long green pipe, with a red or blue stripe signifying fragmentation and anti-armor. The launcher itself costs almost nothing to produce, but it houses a top of the range droid missile. The missile comes in the two afore mentioned flavours and can either follow a programmed route or be guided by the sights of a fellow soldier's E-45 rifle.

The second is a simple mortar, though one again with an upgrade for SCOPE troopers. With your normal rounds you will also be provided with a single droid scout. Once launched this will hover high above the field and scan the layout of terrain, highlight targets and send back wind information to the users control panel. Trajectory can then be altered by the user, though if a target is designated the mortar is capable of self aiming.

Either of these weapons can be carried into the field along with your usual armaments, unlike the weaponry in the main specialities.

A single 1000 word story describing the trooper using both of these weapons in a simulated combat environment.
