Overview:
The Moonie Free State Suicide Shock Company or more commonly the M.S.S. Company is a unit of elite Moonie infantry formed after a the Free State broke relations with the Drathonian Empire. As the Moonies have been bred for stealth and covert ops advanced battlefield tactics are extremely important for the State to survive independetly. Even thought independent operations are stressed within the company the Moonie Shock Infantry is most effective when working in concert with allied ground forces. The M.S.S. is composed solely of pure-blood, red Moonies. The “Suicide” part in the Company name comes from the extreme danger of being in a Moonie infantry unit, as they are smaller than most of their opponnents.
Deployment:
The M.S.S. is composed of two-hundred infantrymen broken up into ten platoons. They are broken up into four fire teams and most training revolves around the fire teams learning to support each other while pursuing different objectives. Fire teams are designated by team letter first, platoon number second and infantryman number last; for example the leader of the first platoons first fire team would be designated as A01-1. Team A1 is also the command team, who generally are combat veterans and serve as a noncombat support unit, lead by the M.S.S.'s Captain.
Fire teams are equipped with four rifleman and one heavy weapons and all five soldiers carry grenades.

Rifle- Captured BR-02-A1's

The badge of the M.S.S. background is a dark, rusty red with a white Moonie skull outlined in black overlaying a mushroom, also white with a black outline.
Tactics & Counter-Tactics: (Generalized Stub)
The Moonie Shock Troops use their natural quickness and small size to great advantage when fighting. They often fight by using ambushes and make great use of cover and will usually fight while crouched to offer a smaller target to the enemy. The gas can be used both in ambushes and strategic withdrawals or even at times to break charges by larger enemies. The gas does limit visibility.Weapons with a large area of effect are more effective against them than direct-fire, but timed explosions such as grenades are slightly less effective due to their agility
Current Status
Overall Strength: 40/200
Platoon Location/Status Report:A and B Platoons are the only currently active and formed units of the Company. If accepted A Platoon would of been in the HQ on stand-by and knocked out by the gas. B Platoon protects the MFS Hangar and would be currently awake and gone from stand-by to alert/engaged.
