	*'''~~Equipment 1~~:'''		*'''Plasma:''' Wanna spam plasma weapons? Well you're in luck! We have plasma rifles, plasma carbines and even a plasma sniper on a variety of units in this sectorial. Comes with hit and blast modes as well as forcing rolls against both ARM and BTS.
	*'''~~Equipment 2~~:'''		*'''K1 Weapons:''' If the above isn't to your taste and you're looking for variety, we have a number of K1 weapons to reduce your target's ARM to 0.
	*'''~~Equipment 3~~:'''		*'''Nanoscreen:''' A very uncommon piece of kit, that one Nexus Operative carries around partial cover wherever he goes.

	*'''Maakrep Trackers Unit:''' MSV2 MI with Sixth Sense and Courage. Has some heavy weapon options in either HMG or Multi Sniper. Potentially some good value if she's able to Regenerate, but with only PH 11. ~~Overall, just "Okay"~~		*'''Maakrep Trackers Unit:''' MSV2 MI with Sixth Sense and Courage, those first two practically make her an auto-take. Has some heavy weapon options in either HMG or Multi Sniper. Potentially some good value if she's able to Regenerate, but with only PH 11. She can also join one of the Onyx teams where her ranged weaponry will prove invaluable.

	*'''Rodok, Morat Armed Imposition Detachment:''' A classic staple in Morats, they have a decent statline, great mobility, and 4-4 movement owing to the N4 Medium Infantry buff. Slightly more vulnerable at Arm 2 and still a little bit fragile, they nonetheless get good use out of their mobility and visibility modifiers. No longer as 'must-take' in N4, ~~but pretty strong.~~ Rodoks ~~get Fireteam: Core and~~ Haris~~, Umbra Delegates~~ and Samaritans can join their ~~Core~~.		*'''Rodok, Morat Armed Imposition Detachment:''' A classic staple in Morats, they have a decent statline, great mobility, and 4-4 movement owing to the N4 Medium Infantry buff. Slightly more vulnerable at Arm 2 and still a little bit fragile, they nonetheless get good use out of their mobility and visibility modifiers. No longer as 'must-take' in N4, Rodoks got their Fireteams reduced down to Haris and Duo; only Wildcards like Samaritans can join their link, too. However, they have one trick up their sleeves: for 23 points is one guy with strategic deployment. That plus another gun and a Sam or Ko Dali makes for a nasty surprise.

	*'''Special Operative Ko Dali:''' There once was a time when it was controversial that Ko Dali got sepsitorized, trading her allegiance from Yu Jing to Combined Army. Now it's just accepted that she's here to stay. She's the other source of MSV2 in this list along with courage, shock immunity, protheion and MA2. She brings with her an AP CCW and D-charges but the rest of her loadout is different depending on how you want to deploy her:		*'''Special Operative Ko Dali:''' There once was a time when it was controversial that Ko Dali got sepsitorized, trading her allegiance from Yu Jing to Combined Army.

	==Special Skills==		==Special Skills==
	*'''~~Skills 1~~:'''		*'''Protheion:''' There are three troopers that have access to this skill and two of them are characters. Basically, you steal wounds from whatever you hit in CC and if they don't save, they restore any wounds that trooper lost to maximum of +2 over starting wounds.
	*'''~~Skills 2~~:'''		*'''Super Jump:''' Quite a few strong units have this skill with MOV 6 as well. Yeet!
	*'''~~Skills 3~~:'''		*'''Mimetism:''' Nearly half the list sports this at some level or another. Subtracting from your opponent's shooting attacks is good actually.

	*'''~~Features 1~~:'''		*'''From Many One:''' Good mix of units from the generic CA force, featuring Morats, Shasvastii, Sigmaa Triad and EI units generally.
	*'''~~Features 2~~:'''		*'''Hit the Links:''' You get the option to take two Haris teams in this sectorial along with a core and unlimited duos. Hell, part of the draw are the links that can be created here that aren't available in the CA list or the other sectorials.
	*'''~~Features 3~~:'''		*'''Tip of the Spear:''' Though you lose out on the EI cores from the CA list, you still get a lot of their finest Troopers: Nexus, Batroids, the dreaded Legates and even Ko Dali.

Tactical Armor Gear

	===Tactical Armor Gear===		===Tactical Armor Gear===
	*'''Overdron Batroids:'''		*'''Batroid TAGs:''' remote presence TAGS that come in two flavours for either firepower or escort. Both pack a shock CCW and an ECM -6 against guided attacks. Both feature the Staldron Pilot REM that doubles as a spec op with a WIP 13. They're also cheaper than the Sphinx below.
			**'''Overdron Batroids:''' The light gun TAG - that is, the TAG is light but the guns it packs are not. This one has some Tinbots that provide an Albedo and a -3 Firewall, which will help keep it somewhat safe to shoot its big guns. Speaking of, the cheapest is an HRL with +1B and an SMG just in case - don't scoff at it, because this one undercuts every other TAG except one in this sectorial. Next are a Plasma Sniper also with +1B, the trade off with the previous option being a longer range for more points and hitting ARM and BTS vs continuous damage. Lastly for the most points, an HMC for shredding fools. These can also be taken in Duos.
			**'''Xeodron Batroids:''' super-jumping bio-immune escort TAGs. They all bring a heavy pistol and Blitzen to the party with options for a Multi-Marksman rifle for the least points but 0.5 SWC, a K1 Marksman rifle for the most point but the least SWC or a Red Fury for 1 SWC. Again, these are escort TAGs and to that effect, they can form a Duo or Haris with a Samaritan, giving the little Sam a big robot to hide behind.

	*'''Shasvastii Special Armoured Corp SPHINX:''' Everyone's favorite giant invisible robot (yeah that's right, suck it up Cutter!). With the Hidden Deployment, Mim-6 and Camouflage, when the Sphinx shows up, he becomes a huge threat. That coupled with a blisteringly fast MOV 6-6 with Terrain Total and Climbing Plus means that if there exists any weakness in your opponent's deployment, the Sphinx CAN get there, and he WILL exploit it with either Spitfire or +1B Heavy Flamethrower. A relatively low ARM/BTS 6 means the Sphinx can be fragile for his cost, so look out for MSV and Hackers. The real weakness of the Sphinx, however, is tunnel vision. Save your orders to retreat and re-camo.		*'''Shasvastii Special Armoured Corp SPHINX:''' Everyone's favorite giant invisible robot (yeah that's right, suck it up Cutter!).

	**'''Scindron Ancillary Remote Unit:''' Special mention here for the Pilot(Remote) ability. He may not be a great Specialist at WIP 11, but with a small S1, he can still dismount and hide behind the giant S6 Soda Can profile of the sphinx to push buttons.		**'''Scindron Ancillary Remote Unit:''' Special mention here for the Pilot(Remote) ability.

Now it's just accepted that she's here to stay. She's the other source of MSV2 in this list along with courage, shock immunity, protheion and MA2. She brings with her an AP CCW and D-charges but the rest of her loadout is different depending on how you want to deploy her:
			**Combat Jump/Parachutist: she brings a combi-rifle, nanopulser and her old favourite, the assault pistol +1B. A more aggressive, solo close assault build. Drop her where she can cause the most problems. Note, you get a choice of whether you want to hit with AP in CC or get an extra attack thanks to her load out here.
			**Mims -3/Forward Deployment 4": her assault pistol loses a B, but she upgrades her combi-rifle to a MULTI-rifle and her nanopulser to a Pulzar. You would be forgiven for thinking that adding her to a link of forward deploying Legates would slow them down but she brings superior shooting and can help take out enemies in CC that the Legate's blades can't crack.
			**Mims -3/Infiltration: this one has a bit more tactical flexibility. She keeps the MULTI-rifle but the Pulzar is back to a nanopulser. She does however get her +1B back on her assault pistol. Now she can keep pace with those legates or leave them behind entirely.
