Asset Containment Cadre by Factor
Art by: Factor
The Asset Containment Cadre is an experimental unit created to capture high value targets, such as Imperial Governors or Astra Militarum officers. Due to this and the limited number of Onryo'erra Stealth Suits, three cadres are in service (four originally existed). Each Cadre comprises two XV96-2 Onryo'erra Stealth Battlesuits, two XV8 Crisis Battlesuit Teams, four XV25 Stealthsuit Teams, and two Sniper Drone or Ratling Sniper Teams. The XV8 Crisis Battlesuit teams are usually accompanied by Shield Drones for additional protection, and the XV25 Stealthsuits would be accompanied by Gun Drones as additional covering fire for the Onryo'erra Stealth Battlesuits. Being a relatively stealthy formation, they had enough firepower to overwhelm, or at the very least distract, a sizable force and the Onryo'erra Stealth Battlesuits moves in to capture the target and possessed enough mobility to disengage when the objective was completed. If the protecting force gives chase the Cadre engages in a ‘Detour Protocol’ which involves splitting their forces, half protecting each Onryo'erra Stealth Suit and forcing the enemy to pick one, or splitting their forces to chase after both. This provides an opportunity for nearby Drones or Ratlings to pick off their weaker lines, in all likelihood encouraging them to break off this fruitless chase. Once the cadre is clear of enemy territory, they’ll return to the nearest outpost and remove their contained target to be processed by High Command. These cadres are devastating not for their power, but in their capability of ruining morale among the enemy, grinding entire campaigns to a halt. Many survivors of these quick strikes succumbed to guilt and paranoia, knowing well that the enemy had abducted their commanders, unintentionally spreading dissension among the ranks. Even Commissars would find difficulty putting these demoralized guardsmen back in their place, usually resulting in mass executions to scare them into submission.
