New Republic GroundOps

New Republic "Ground Ops" is a catch-all term for the myriad non-Naval branches of the Military of the New Republic; ranging from the Army, the Marines, the Army//Marine Reserves, and even Planetary Militias. Unlike their rivals and chief opponents on the field of battle, the [[IGF], no branch in NR Ground Ops relies upon the draft, and while they may be outmatched in terms of firepower at times, few can doubt the powers of morale produced by an all volunteer army.

Given the sheer amount of men that are part of such an organization, and the fact that dozens of races are represented prominently in NR Ground Ops, very little in the way of a centralized doctrine exists to dictate how much training a soldier is given, what sort of equipment he or she is issued, and even how the soldier is deployed in the field. Although this is a nightmare for planning and logistics, very little in the way of reforms have been passed, even in the wake of the Imperial Blitzkrieg.

NR Marines
The Marines of the New Republic are a bit more uniform than the rank and file, but only in that they have a tendency of recieving more diverse and generally more difficult training regimens. Specific armament still varies from assignment to assignment, but typically will include:


 * An A280 or E-11 blaster rifle
 * Kylan-3 or DD6 sidearm
 * Light Armor
 * Comlink or headset comlink
