Titus “Pala” [REDACTED]

TACUS operators are usually equipped with basic equipment (canteens, trench tools, weather gear) identical to a standard Legionnaire ((https://www.nationstates.net/nation=legatia/detail=factbook/id=273946)), except perhaps with more modern and reliable versions of such gear.
Operator weaponry is the choice of the operator himself, but usually pertains to their specialization (Designated Marksman, Rifleman, etc.)
Universal gear includes a CARACHEO VV-IX heavy duty water and shock resistant chronographic watch, COTAC Adaptable Armored Gloves, MICAS HAMATA/SFC Plate Carrier, LORICA HAMATA/SFC Armor Plate ((will explain if necessary)), BALTAEUS Utility belt, SFCU Combat Shirt w/camouflage conforming to area of operations, CALIGAE steel-toed, rubber-soled leather boots, binoculars, FVRCA rucksacks (Extended operations), GALAE Coolus/SFC-ACM ballistic helmets with advanced communications, three knives (PUGIO Multipurpouse Heavy Combat/Utility Knife, ACINACES MkIX SCF Bayonet, Cuspis II9 Boot Knife), 50ft reinforced nylon rope, 8 carabiners, Interchangeable Tool Aperture System (ITAS) and associated tools, insulated titanium canteen, ammunition for weapons, MICAS/BALTAEUS-compatible flare kit holder, MICAS/BALTAEUS-compatible basic first aid kit, MICAS/BALTAEUS compatible survival kit, balaclava, FACEM Flashlight.
The use of the PIL-V, the standard service rifle of the Imperial Armed Forces, and it’s variants is rare among Tier 3 and higher special operations forces, it’s usage decreasing with the level of tier, due to its heavier round and lack of maneuverability. A favorite of operators is the Advanced Combatant Carbine-261, chambered in LIA 5.56x45mm, and Specialist Combatant Carbine-21, chambered for .30-06.
Pistols include the extremely reliable and famous MH/S-E6 Taurus, chambered in either .45 ACP or, exclusively for Special Forces in, .40 S&W, the PVS/C-3 Pistol chambered in 9x19 Parabellum, and the CM-4 Ceres chambered in .357 SIG.
Many operators carry PDWs or compact submachine guns as tertiary weapons. Popular weapons include the CWS/CA-2, chambered in .40 S&W, the SCWC-6 SMG chambered in .45, and the MP7.
The sole shotgun issued to TACUS operators is the ELSEN SCO-8/C, used for breaching. Therefore, it is usually loaded with slug rounds. The SCO-8/C is a shortened version of the actual SCO-8, for easy maneuverability.
Sniper rifles issued to TACUS operators usually depend on mission, but range to the Legatian Designated Marksman Rifle System (LDMRS) chambered in 7.62, to the NA-40 bolt-action sniper rifle chambered in .308 Lapua, to the LHSWS-E4 anti-material rifle chambered in .50 BMG. Scopes on said rifles range from 6x rifle magnification to 40x ballistic magnification.
Generally, rocket launchers are not carried by operators. However, if need calls for it, the preferred is the FMG-62, a free-fire, reusable anti-tank launcher.
The only automatic machine gun ever issued to TACUS operators is the MAW/S-2(L), a clip-fed automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x31 LIA.
Biography of Unit:
The existence of the TACUS Special Operations Unit is known to less than 400 people outside of it’s current or former ranks. The mere mention of the unit to any unauthorized person is considered treason and punishable by death.
TACUS was formed in 1974 by the order of Imperator Lance Augustus Ecaedus in response to heightening border tensions with regions surrounding Legatia. Since it’s formation, it has carried out missions ranging from undercover reconnaissance to high-risk assassinations to search-and-destroy ops. It is composed of former Tier Two operators from across all branches of the Imperial Armed Forces and has a budget larger than any Tier Two by at least one and a half times. It consists of 80 men across 16 five-man teams. The grueling basic training of the TACUS operators lasts for six months, and even after decommission, each member is monitored by the Imperial government closely.
TACUS specializes in infiltration, search-and-destroy, HVT takedown, assassination missions, disruption, undercover operations, guerilla warfare, assault, and numerous other missions. All TACUS operators are jump-qualified, scuba qualified, trained in SERE and intermediate-level first aid, operations of crew-served weaponry, pathfinding, orienteering, advanced close quarters combat, are masters of medium range combat and experts with rifles, jungle, desert, artic, urban, mountain, woodland and aquatic warfare, counterinsurgency, reconnaissance, stealth and clandestine operations, basic explosive ordinance disposal, breaching and clearing, rappelling, search-and-rescue, and a few other qualifications.
Short Profiles on Operators (Optional):
Titus [Nickname-”Pala”]
O-5 Centurion
An operator originating from the Imperial Army’s ELECTA-6 Tier Two group, and a seasoned commander, as well as the group’s father figure, Titus’ nickname comes from the Ace of Spades playing card he always keeps tucked in his uniform for good luck. One of the Imperial Armed Forces’ best riflemen, carries a personalized ACC-261.
Paulus [Nickname=-“Virga “]
E-7 Decanus
Originating from the Imperial Marine Forces’ TEREBRA-I Tier Two armed forces, he is Triarius’ automatic rifleman. Carries the MAW/S-2(L) .His nickname comes from the switchblade he usually carries on missions.
Titania [Nickname-“Diana”]
E-9 Decanus Class 3
Originating from the same ELECTA-6 unit as Centurion Titus, as well as being his right hand woman, Titania is the first and only female within TACUS to date. Despite premonitions of her being a total bitch as hard and cold as the Scopuligii, she is a rather serious and maternal figure to the unit. She is the unit’s designated marksman, and prefers the NA-40 and LDMRS, but is also proficient with assault rifles. Her nickname comes from the crescent moon insignia she has on her uniform.
Aulus [Nickname-“Capsut”]
E-4 Miles Primus
Aulus hails from the Imperial Navy’s Aquitanus-4 special operations unit, and has worked alongside TEREBRA-I as a combat medic. Summarily, he serves in Triarius as the team’s medical officer, which is where his nickname, Capsut, an abbreviation of the term for medic- Capsuariat. Carries an ACC-261 Carbine.
Decimus [Nickname-“Aurum”]
E-6 Miles Primus Class 3
Decimus is Triarius’ close quarters expert, carrying the ACC-261 and ELSEN SCO-8/C, as well as a MP7. Hailing from the Imperial Air Forces’ ALATUM-9, he is also a certified combat air controller and has more than basic knowledge of medical matters. His nickname is more of Triarius’ inside jokes, rarely talked about.
