Veritech Fighter
Pilot
The Veritech Fighter pilot is the very elite
of the Robotech Defense Force. These characters are
the only people trained to pilot the transformable
Veritech Fighter. The Veritech Fighter is the most
versatile and mobile of all the Mecha and the
backbone of the Robotech Defense Force. The Destroid pilot is the elite grunt of the
Robotech Defense Force. This character is trained in
the operation of the most formidable, frontline,
assault and defense mechanism ever devised by
mankind; the Destroid. These 50ft metal giants are
non-transformable Battloids, packing more firepower
than ten tanks. The communications engieer is the high-tech
wizard who can link an entire world with sight and
sound. This character has an indepth knowledge of
state of the art communication systems. This includes laser and satellite transmission, sensory equipment
and weapon systems. Training includes combat
orientation, enabling the communications engineer to
coordinate Destroid and Fighter pilots, interpret
sensory data, and relay that information correctly
and quickly to to combat personnel. This character
can be a field operator as part of a recon or
security unit or a deck officer on the bridge of the
SDF-1, ARMD, Space Platform or battleship. The electrical engineer is a character skilled in electronics. In the high-tech world of Robotech, this skill and knowledge is greatly needed, and conveted to repair and maintain the Mecha and machinery. So coveted by the technologically ignorant Zentraedi, that electrical engineers are often abducted to service the alien war machine. Unscrupulous mercenaries, skilled in electrical engineering, can make a fortune aiding the Zentraedi and rebel governments. However, these traitors of humanity are considered to be the foulest fugitives. Being caught conspiring against the United Earth Forces and humanity will lead to imprisonment or death. This character is a mechanical genius, able to effect repairs, modify design and operate machinery. While usually the unsung hero behind the scene, the Mechanical Engineer is often a crucial member of Mecha recon teams and security units. In remote areas these men and women are as revered and needed as doctors. Since Zentraedi can't fix their own machines, they sometimes kidnap mechanical engineers, or enlist the aid of unscrupulous free agents (mercenaries) to repair their aging and combat damaged Mecha. Mechanical Engineer mercenaries, who sell their talents to Zentraedi, are considered to be among the worst traitors to humanity. The military specialist is highly trained in combat and espionage. Their specialized background may include demolitions, sniper, espionage, weapons and piloting (such as assault helicopters, etc). They are the brave men and women assigned to reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, tracking fugitives, infiltrating enemy strongholds and clandestine operations. The field scientist is a "Jack-of-all-trades", using his or her varied knowledge to form rudimentary hypotheses, and for analysis, interpretation, cataloging and investigation. A field scientist is often standard member of most recon teams and security outposts. Skills include Mecha repair, demolitions, and a variety of sciences.
The
Veritech pilot is taught every aspect of his/her
machine under the most difficult combat conditions on land, in the air, and space. Although a Veritech
pilot can learn to pilot Destroids, it is not
part of the formal training and must be selected as
one of the character's other skills.
The Destroid pilot is the only OCC that formally trains the character to pilot all
non-transformable Mecha. After the initial training,
the character receives Mecha combat training
two, specific types of Destroids (choose two). This
training provides the pilot with maximum combat
abilities. Additional Mecha combat can be selected
without limit. Thus, a character may be adept in the
piloting of all five Destroids. Each additional Mecha combat skill counts as one skill.
Training doesn't include piloting
Mecha, but it is an available skill. The
communication engineer can learn to pilot any
Destroid by selecting Mecha skills among the
other skills available. Considering the combat nature of their work, it may be wise to be able to
pilot Mecha if needed. The communication engineer can operate the weapons system of the Commanchero assualt helicopter, and assist with the weapons and targeting of most others.
