New Republic Mechanized Division



The New Republic Mechanized Division is a branch of the New Republic Ground Operations. It is stationed across garrisons on planets throughout New Republic territory, and is primarily responsible for all heavy artillery operations.

History
The New Republic Mechanized Division became its own branch of the New Republic Military after the liberation of Coruscant and the formation of a New Republic. As the New Republic was born and the military shifted into a different role, the division was implemented to serve a support role for the Marine Corps and the Infantry.

Structure
With field weapons ranging from E-Web blaster emplacements and armored repulsor-tanks, to airspeeders and turbolasers, the Mechanized Division is almost always operated exclusively on New Republic ground installations and bases. On occasion, the Mechanized Division will be called into action by the Marine Corps for mobile assault missions against Imperial ground targets.

Vehicles used by the Division
During the Galactic Civil War, the forces of the Rebel Alliance used a wide variety of cobbled-together and modified vehicles to fight their battles, along with a treasured handful of dedicated military equipment. When the New Republic arose from the victories of the Alliance, and the ground troops were solidified into a proper GroundOps organization with greater resources, a few of the more successful Alliance vehicles were chosen to be put into widespread official use in the Mechanized Division.

Some of the most prominent vehicles in use are:


 * T4-B Heavy Tank
 * T2-B Repulsortank
 * MPTL-2a Artillery Crawler
 * KAAC Freerunner Assault vehicle
 * SFS Ultra-Light Assault vehicle
 * QH-7 Chariot LAV/APC
 * A-A5 Speeder Truck
 * 74-Z Speeder Bike

In remote areas or those where resources are otherwise tight, the following older models are often found substituting for their above counterparts:


 * T3-B Heavy Tank
 * T1-B Light Repulsortank
 * MPTL Artillery Crawler

See New Republic Marines' Use of Vehicles Guide for more information.

OOC Information
The Mechanized Division is currently not open to role-play, and serves a background role for the New Republic Military. However, as a player, you may join the New Republic Marine Corps as a Mechanized Division asset, being a member of the Mechanized Division who is specifically assigned to the Marine Corps.
