Commissioned in response to the Verran Republic’s Lancer program, the Reavers are dangerous heavy infantry units used as shock troopers by the Empire. Reavers are power-armored soldiers equipped with a variety of powerful weapons and gear.
Reavers wear an advanced suit of powered armor that augments their strength and speed to ridiculous levels. In addition, the armor contains an advanced sensor suite that constantly assesses the wearer’s surroundings for potential threats. An AI links the sensors and the suit to the user’s mind, allowing them to react with unnatural speed to incoming attacks.
Armed to the teeth, Reavers possess a variety of weaponry built straight into their armor. Their main weapon is a light neutron turret mounted on the shoulder, controlled by the wearer’s neural implant. For tackling heavy targets, the armor has a built-in heavy laser cannon in the forearm, which can heavily damage vehicles and eliminate almost any infantry in a single shot. The armor also has a pair of arm-mounted retractable ViBlades, used for close combat with enemy infantry, and back-mounted nanomissile cells which can devastate entire squads of soldiers.
Reaver suits are incredibly durable, providing the wearer with layers upon layers of carbon nanotube armor for protection, as well as reactive plasma shields that incinerate incoming fire. Reavers are all but immune to infantry weapons, and often require heavy vehicle-grade weapons to be threatened.
Reavers are incredibly skilled and well-equipped warriors, surpassing nearly any enemy on the battlefield. These elite soldiers strike fear into the heart of any opponent that had the misfortune to face them.
