Gates Of Antares: Algoryn Hazard Squad

Algoryn Hazard squads are equipped with heavily-armoured enviro-suits, generally known as Hazard armour. They carry a powerful combination of ranged and close-fighting weapons. Troops wearing Hazard armour benefit from integrated weapon systems, including distort-spinners, and they carry an upgrated plasma carbine that draws power from the suits own energy pack facilitating a rapid rate of fire. This pack contains 1 metal Hazard Leader with plasma carbine and D-spinner and 4 metal Hazard Troopers with plasma carbines and D-spinners. Hazard armour consists of multiple layers of reflex armour that offer extraordinary protection against high-power weaponry, although at some considerable loss to both speed and manoeuvrability compared to the lighter armour worn by Vector troops. Hazard units fight as part of the elite and heavily-equipped Hazard Vector formations, often under the direct command of the ultra-secretive Special Development (SD) division, the select corps responsible for experimental weapon development and testing. Hazard troopers are few in number but disproportionately effective.
