Aeon Guard Trooper

Rank-and-file Aeon Guard troopers are easily identified by their distinctive green armor consisting of ceramic and polycarbonate plates overlaid with an energy- reflective molecular coating. Aeon Guards frequently upgrade their armor with aeon stones, further distinguishing them from soldiers of “lesser” armies. Even the newest recruits have sworn personal oaths of loyalty to the Aeon Throne—a traitor or deserter of the Azlanti Star Empire is extraordinarily rare. These troopers are also loyal to one another and highly trained to fight in coordinated formations, and they obey their commanding officers without question, even if their orders mean certain death.

Coordinated Fire

After the trooper attempts a Strike against a target (regardless of success or failure), the next attack roll one of the trooper's allies makes against the same target gains a +2 circumstance bonus. If a Strike with a bonus from coordinated fire hits, the target becomes suppressed until the end of the attacking ally's next turn.

Sharpshooter

When the trooper makes a ranged Strike against a target with an AC bonus from lesser or standard cover, they reduce the AC bonus by 1 for that Strike.

Show No Mercy

The trooper gains a +2 circumstance bonus to damage rolls against suppressed targets.
