User:FightWithHonor/Colonial Fringer Shock Troopers

Overview
In the Colonial Fringers where the "Spear of the Colonies" the Shock Troopers where the "Spear of the Fringers." Composed of some of the most ruthless individuals in the Galaxy, the Shock Troopers served as the primary fighting force of the Fingers, serving in a role analogous to the ODSTs of the UNSC Marine Corps, taking on only the toughest missions.

But the Shock Troopers were tactically and equipmentally often at a disadvantage to the better, armed, better trained, and better equipped UNSC Marines, a fact that lead to their developing a high level of proficiency in hit-and-run raids, charging into and out of battle zones aboard air and groundcraft alike.

In addition to their role as an offensive force, the Shock Troopers often acted as guards for the most valuable assets of the Fringer's their destructive WMDs and their protective facilities. Given the UNSC's frequent targeting of these sites, many Shock Troopers fell in the line of duty while guarding their lethal charges.
