***

• Type A (Assassin) operative/pilot. Master of stealth and HTH combat, assassins pilot extremely lightweight and maneuverable mechs into battle. The focus of this type is stealth and precision: the business of dealing out and coping with heavy punishment on the battlefield is best left to heavier units.
  • Assassins are recruited from state wards (usually orphans) and other members of society without family obligations (often criminals, heretics and traitors) and serve under the DSO (The Department of Special Operations, which serves as a commando branch/secret police of the Charon Imperium). Assassins are indoctrinated under the maxim: "Your father is the Emperor, your mother the Imperial Navy, your sisters and brothers your comrades in the field, and your only children are the subjects of The Realm". They have no honor greater then the completion of their mission, and do not abide by the code of chivalry observed by other members of the Imperial armed forces.
  • If you are employed as an assassin, don't expect to be buried with honors if you fall in combat. No statue will be erected in your honor, no marker will mark your grave (assuming your body is recovered), no candles will burn in your memory. Whatever record of your achievements exists will be classified and only read by the cold, disinterested eyes of those with a high enough clearance level to view them.
• Assassins rarely retire. Those few that do survive the dangerous missions assigned to them sometimes defect to Fortuna (where the class differences that define life in Charon do not exist), or take on private employment in security positions - often of a criminal nature- elsewhere in the cluster. Rumor has it that if an assassin neither defects nor dies on mission the state will assign them to a comfortable if monotonous retirement to a place called 'The Village': a remote colony somewhere in the Charon sphere. If this place exists, and is not just a rumor, it must be the most baddass collection of senior citizens anywhere within known space.
