In the unlikely event that Bioware ever explains the meaning of the S1 designation, I humbly present my "Codex Entry" for the S designation. Now imagine Neil Ross reading it (the voice actor for the codex entries)Orbital Deployment, Reconnaissance and Assault (S Designation)Established 2176 the Orbital deployment, Reconnaissance and Assault Academy (ORA) has become the System Alliance’s primary school for orbital deployment and infiltration. Representing an amalgamation of earth’s paratrooper forces, combined with 22nd century technology and tactics, the ORI academy became a leader in planetary assault and tactics.
Initially established in Ural Mountains, the academy later expanded to include the Titan moon of Jupiter and a dozen classified sites in Alliance space. In contrast to the “N-School” the primary focus of the PCT academy is combat operations. Emphasis is placed on hard hitting tactics and candidates are trained to use everything in their environment.
Inductees are trained in orbital deployment tactics (utilizing the System Alliance Shockpod), covert insertion and reconnaissance. Trainees are also trained to resist enemy interrogation and survive in hostile territory. Finally culminating in what has been termed “Hell-Week” trainees are sent into the harsh, unforgiving Ural Mountains. During this week they are to achieve objectives, relying only on themselves and each other to accomplish the task.
Graduates whom survive the harsh and punishing training are awared the coveted jump wings.
In contrast to the more “considered” operations of N-service commandoes, S-service troopers (nicknamed Shocktrooper) are considered to be the lance of any System Alliance deployment. Seeing action in at least a dozen hotspots in places such as Torfan, the Shocktroopers have carved themselves a name in history books.
