Following off of the Star Army Rikugun Infantry, Type 42, the Type 45 infantry envisions the optimal loadouts for Star Army Rikugun soldiers operating as territorial defense, expeditionary armies, or for a variety of specialist roles.
Soldiers may be issued with a variety of secondary weapons and hardpoint attachments based on their mission specialization and training.
This equipment scheme was created in conjunction with Star Army Rikugun Vehicle Crew, Type 45.
The standard heavy Infantry assigned power armor that grants the firepower and mobility for modern warfare. Compared to their cousins in the Fleet, Ground Army Infantry focuses more on maneuver warfare and shorter ranged weaponry needed for planetary operations.
Tekidanhei are heavy infantry that make use of the M12 Kirie or M13 Keiko Compact Mecha (also known as Thought Armor). The standard issue gear for an Expeditionary Rikugun Regiment Task Group soldier.
An upgrade of “unarmored” infantry in the Star Army of Yamatai, Ashigaru are designed to supplement their heavier cousins by operating in extended scenarios, providing stealth to a commander's options (no aether/fusion), and just occupying territory so the heavy guns stay on the offensive. As they lack the firepower and mobility to be at the tip of the spear, they require vehicles to maneuver to new objectives faster than their inertia abilities (if Yamataian) will allow.
Equipped similarly to the Ashigaru, Ground Army Ranger Qualified Infantry are the scouts of the Rikugun. As such, their loadout is designed to help them survive on their own instead of just direct combat.
