Also, what sort of power armor are these troops even being equipped with? Spartans cost a ton of money and require lots of augmentations from a young age. Space Marines get theirs from an unimaginably large empire with funds that are likely never repaid, along with unique geneseeds. Even in Fallout, power armor requires extensive training and not every soldier is equipped with it.

The absence of light infantry would be a terrible hindrance.

That's why the Yisuta have scouts, which are their light infantry.

Also, the Yisuta military is not all power armor, the Kondons(Forget how it's spelled) only wear carapace armor, and act as militia during wartime.

Like Halo armor, except less focus on augmenting strength and more focus on enhancing survivability and agility. Also, a thousand times cheaper after a thousand years of perfection.

We do have light infantry, which is what the Oninin serve as besides pilots. They wear semi-powered armor; providing increased physical protection and either shielding or flight pods, although there is no strength-enhancement which, with the smaller frame and weakness compared to Oni, means that big variety of CCW is gone, reduced to a Blazer and knife.

In both cases the power source is too weaker to simultaneously power flight pods, shields, and servos in all but the best suits; worse for the Oninin, who again due to strength must choose between pods and shields as equipment.

I did , check a couple pages prior to the current IC one it was in a combo response to Zein and you




Seg@

I'm aware that it would be a major problem covering large tracts of ground which would be impossible for an elitist force


As to the cost of augments ect. My entire military is equip with power armor mainly because my species does not require physical augmentations for it to work and my ships pay the price by suffering reduced quality and lacking shields at the moment ,

The Project Black-water which is in my post every so often is my actually genetic , cybernetic and physical augmentation of my troops I have yet to present them yet but they will be called Highborn Rangers - they possess the ability to regenerate like the Albinos of the highborn species and are smarter , stronger and faster then normal highborn by a long shot , don't worry I won't spam them with god power I only plan on having a brigade at full strength --

But this is all off set by my weaker then average fleet



While there certainly is a place for light infantry I personally have yet to write a IC that in ogles them

Thing is, each Clan has it's own private military, with the Shoguns being the largest, and the navy is large, very large.

That, the Kondon acted as militia to hold the line, basically acting as Ashigaru.
