Disclaimer: White Sun Communications would like to remind readers that this information is for current, orthodox military formations from readily available information. it will not account for a Nation's sudden doctrine changes between publications or doctrine differences within a nations sub-regions or unorthodox units. what is shown is a nations most common military formation.

The Century Swords Empire, among the largest and of the most powerful of the major Rük empires, The Century Swords are known to bring heavy cannon-type artillery into the field. the Century Swords greatly favour the use ranged combat compared to other Rük empires. while not the largest in terms of population density such as the Empire of Clan Thela'han, the Century Sword's logistical network allows it to make greater use of resources and ammo hungry artillery to rain onto the enemy into submission.
Rük weaponry, while not the most advanced, remains powerful simply due the sheer proportional size of Rük weaponry and should under no circumstance be underestimated.

The Century Swords Troop (Platoon) Squad is a 6 man team, one of which is a sergeant or corporal equivalent rank and with an APC crewed by 2. (8 man total). the Average Rük is between 7.10 to 8.3ft tall.

The Armour of the Century Swords is the CS type Gunplate Gear. rather large and bulky, with several "gunplate" panels affixed to the outside of the combat suit. gunplate is often too bulky for other races to use, but offers a considerably favourable ballistic protection to weight ratio. Pilots wear a significantly lighter version of the armour with very few or no gunplate additions. this allows confort and mobility while inside the confines of their vehicles. while they are very vulnerable, the suits flak protection properties is sufficient light against small arms fire and interior spalling from outside attacks

equipped with the 6S series semi-modular Assault Rifle in the massive 10x70mm cartridge. while oversized, is considered an intermediate round by the Rük.
alongside the rifle is the "Bouncer" break-open single shot grenade launcher with a powerful 55mm general purpose grenade.

the Machine Gunner is equipped with the 6S rifle in light machine gun configuration. equipped with a heavier barrel improved cooling features, bipod and a belt container magazine, the gunner can lay down automatic fire downrange to support its squad.

the Motor Heavy Squad loadout brings along the R600 Recoilless Armour Attack Weapon. a powerful anti-vehicle weapon that fires a powerful anti-armour round. though unlike missile launchers, these weapons are generally shorter ranged. however due to the presence of many form of anti missile countermeasures common in the battlefields of the White Sun Galaxy, the weapon has a significantly higher chance of avoiding countermeasure systems thanks to its more cannon like nature. increasing hit probability significantly

every soldier is equipped with a Heavy Pistol. somewhat blocky and top heavy, and overall unelegant this pistol is designed primarily for reliability over accuracy. using a large 12x35mm-Rk pistol cartrige

The Heavy anti-personnel grenade is a round spherical explosive that posses a particularly large blast radius compared to other grenades. combined with the strength of a Rük, can be thrown quite far and accurately. held with a safety pin, the "spoon" is a spring loaded button on top must be depressed using ones thumb to allow the safety pin to be removed. the grenade will arm once the button is released upon throwing the fuse will activate.


Other Equipment:

every member of the squad is trained in basic field dressing and carry a small medkit to help stabilize a wounded squadmate until able to receive treatment from the platoon medics. a multipurpose steel shovel as well as empty woven bags made from biodegradable polymer fibres that can be filled with earth, gravel and sand to provide a simple, fast entrenchment for defense deployment.
the Century Swords also issue hand held hatchets as a utility.

Vehicle:
By the White Sun Communications standardized weight index, it measures as a large Medium vehicle at 95/200 units.

The CCAW/Ž6PL12* "RAMWAGON" APC.
A large, brutal and fast armoured personnel carrier, the CCAW/Ž6PL12 "RAMWAGON", is designed at the Century Swords Armour Workshop and then commissioned as the standard vehicle to all of the Century Sword's grand army. it's most notable feature is the large powered "crash roller" at the front of the vehicle. the motorized cylinder can allow to get across broken terrain and smash through barricades as well as critically damaging enemy vehicles of similar or lighter size. it's supercharger equipped engine gives it remarkable top speed. and the use of AMP** for suspension allows for variable ride height while being very durable. and it's rear access ramp can allow it carry 6 soldiers easily. a side mounted port can open to allow passengers to fire out.
it's turret mounts a very heavy 17.5.mm HMG. more closer to that of a light autocannon due to its size. a basic ECM kit and smoke dischargers act as defensive measure on top of its hull armour.

Artificial Musculatory Polymer. an electrically controlled set of bundles of polymers that can contract and relax via electric controls. used by all races and have long since replaced hydraulics as it is significantly lighter and extremely durable
