Groundwatch Heavy Unit

Groundwatch Heavy Units are a form of elite Military soldiers serving in the Groundwatch division of Starwatch.

Origins
Heavy Units were formed as A.D.U. Heavies during the Trans-Galactic War, and upgraded following the war's conclusion and Military reorganization. They are the standard for heavy units in other division, such as the ASDC Heavy Marines.

Organization
Organized like standard divisions, Groundwatch Heavy Units consist of enlisted and officer ranks, although even enlisted ranks are quite high. Heavy Unit officers lead other marines into the field, while higher command personnel stay within command structures to give orders and provide support. Groundwatch Heavy Units answer to Groundwatch Command unless told otherwise.

Equipment
Groundwatch Heavy Units are all equipped with heavy Imperialite exosuits, containing advanced forms of Standard Asset Equipment, colored mainly shades of green in camouflage styles. Their helmets appear to be smooth, but actually contain optics, and on their left shoulders, they have a modular heavy laser cannon. They receive some cybernetic modifications, mainly for weapons and exosuit control, along with strength and durability, while also being equipped with built-in weaponry such as blades, and handheld heavy cannons. Their armor can have extra gear added, and their shoulder guns can be switched out with other forms of weaponry, such as Dark Energy cannons, which are often the handheld guns of forward assault teams.

Dress uniforms for Groundwatch Heavy Units consists of olive green formal tunics with standing collars displaying rank, ribbons on the left side of the chest with medals on the right, black trousers, black boots, a belt with the Starwatch insignia, and red aguillettes on the right shoulder, black shoulder pads, and an olive green cap with a grey insignia. BDUs, worn beneath exosuits, consist of medium insulated laserproof dark green gear, combat boots, a dark green cap with rank, black gloves, and Imperialite vambraces, which is where their exosuits can be deployed from. Officers are known to have a standing collar on their BDU uniforms.
