Frankia

Population 1.5 million

Tech Level 9

National Morale 3

Conquest

Non-aligned

Named for the original settler here, Bernt Frank, this nation grew up around his extended clan. His family are still the hereditary rulers of the country with the latest ruler being Armand Bernt. Armand has a particularly aggressive foreign policy and he seems bent on the conquest of all of his neighbours, and possibly total domination of Arxsis.

Frankia is the most industrialised nation on Squallia, which does not really say much as the mainstay of the planet is its agriculture and rich sea-life.

Armed Forces

Main Force troops use the PDF reaction tables. Commandos use Star Army reaction tables.

All Officers, NCOs and Commandos wear Hard Armour. All other infantry wear Soft Armour.

Infantry Platoon

N.B. If more than 6 soldiers are generated in a squad then it may be equipped with a grav sled with HMG. The grav sled has a crew of 2, who remain mounted to provide fire support. It will carry 10 men.

Weapons

Laser Carbine – This is a standard Laser Carbine but fitted with an underslung RAM Grenade Launcher (Rifle-launched Grenade Launcher). Cost = 51 / 14

If three squads are fielded, then a platoon command squad becomes available:

Platoon Command Squad

The platoon command squad consists of 1 officer and 3 men. Two of the men are the crew of the Platoon Command Grav Sled, which mounts a sophisticated array of communications gear and an HMG for fire support. The command grav sled will carry the crew and 4 others.

Infantry Company

An infantry company consists of 3 Infantry Platoons, 1 Heavy Weapons Section and a Company Command Squad, which is the same as a Platoon Command Squad

Heavy Weapons Section

The heavy weapons team at full strength consists of 1 Section Leader, 1 Junior NCO, 4 Soldiers operating 2 Heavy Mortars carried in a Grav Sled with HMG and 2 crew.

Vehicle Availability

Vehicles

N.B. To all intents and purposes GEV is the same as GRAV in 5150

Commandos

The Frankians, like most other nations, also have a Covert Ops Commando (CoC). CoCs generally operate in section strength, although they can very rarely be found operation at platoon strength. CoCs do not have integral transport and are usually assigned the most appropriate means for reaching their target, so that they can be inserted into the target area stealthily. An ideal mission for the CoCs is one where they are in and out before anyone knows it, and no shots are fired (although manu things may blow up shortly afterwards).

CoC Platoon

Reinforcements

For explanations of notes, see p41 in 5150

Once the whole CoC platoon has arrived, no more infantry may be received as reinforcements.
