>>6301660>perhaps Sven should write down a theoretical new military unit : see about applying and playing with some of the Einherjar training and indoctrination for create something.I'm thinking of a specialized light infantry unit in direct contrast to the ODST. Less shock and awe, more cloak and dagger. Hell, maybe even purpose built to act as support or in-tandem with Spartans.
Imagine they were inspired by our own playbook; experts in just about everything needed to stay adaptable, but primarily focused on stealth operations and asymmetric warfare. Proper boogiemen.
As for taking inspiration from the Einherjar, we might think about issuing combat stims to this hypothetical unit. Obviously we'd use a much more stable compound and encourage their use sparingly, but you can't deny the efficacy of such a thing in close quarters.
Another thing to look into might be SPI armor, even if that sort of thing is a ways away right now. I think it would compliment the skillset I proposed above AND serve to further distinguish them from ODSTs in culture, image, and mission.
Maybe we could call them Spartiates or Drengir or something.
