Orbital Assault Troopers

"Troopers, we are lean, mean, and very, very green!"

- Interdiction Sergeant, Christopher O'Neil, to his men.



The Orbital Assault Troopers, known as the Oatmeal unofficially, are an elite group of soldiers in the Signus Defense Force that drop in "Pods" from orbit. They are the line between normal Signus Soldiers, and PALADINs. They wear an airtight armor, suitable for any environment, have a polarized visor, and gunmetal black armor, with some OATs choosing to have color and armor customizations.

Orbital Insertion Pods
The OIPs are usually dropped from a low orbit around the coordinates, they have two gun racks on the left and right, a view screen to view another OIP, or to view the outside air and space. They are quite cheap, using cheaper materials than any other vehicle in the arsenal of the SDF. Each Pods has a sort of "seat" to lean back on when falling into orbit, made from cotton and unknown fibers. They deploy in these pods to the ground, and their hatches usually open upon impact with the ground. The heat inside the OIP is very hot for a small amount of time, when entering the atmosphere, and earned the OATs the nickname of Sunjumpers.
