Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]
Troopers must complete a thousand word story for each of the following topics:

In each case troopers will be working against fellow trainees armed with stun blasters.
“ | Bloody stuff ship to ship fighting, if they're ready for you the first squads out of the shuttle rarely survive - the men behind rarely fare better. Truth is we can teach you where to hit a ship so it hurts and how to get there, but there's little we can teach you about the combat. It's messy, up-close stuff and all you can do is practise over and over...and hope your reflexes are up to the task | ” |
