History
Many Orgs in the verse host their own Infantry Divisions. Yet very few offer a full time dropship corps to transport or work hand in hand with said Infantry. When Dropships are required, the role is often times filled by fighter pilots who’d be better served flying with their squadrons. Alternatively, many orgs will opt for their infantry to self-insert. Scuttling their transport afterwards or just ditching it all-together. Leaving them without a dedicated CAS element or a reliable method of extraction.
It was upon seeing this change in doctrine within orgs that the Roc Regiment was created.
A Dedicated regiment of Dropship Pilots with an acute focus on Infantry transport, boarding, SAR, and CAS operations.
A group willing to provide skilled transportation and security to anyone and everyone who requires it.
Manifesto
The 160th DOAR Mission Statement
The 160th Dropship Operations & Ass-kicking Regiment’s mission is to organize, equip, train, resource, and employ dedicated dropship crews. Known as ‘DOAR Kickers’ or ‘Coffins’, these Pilots are recognized for their proficiency in Boarding, CAS, and High Intensity Transport Operations. They are highly trained and ready to accomplish the toughest missions in all environments, across the verse, day or night, with unparalleled Precision.
The 160th DOAR is always seeking contracts with other orgs who do not have the man ability or willingness to provide their own dedicated Dropships or Crews. Or those looking to simply learn from the best. Recruiters are constantly looking for new pilots to join our ranks and applications will remain open at all times.
The DOAR Kickers Creed
Service in the 160th is a calling only a few will answer for the mission is constantly demanding and hard. And when the impossible has been accomplished the only reward is another mission that no one else will try. I pledge to maintain my body, mind and equipment in a constant state of readiness for I am a member of the fastest and most dependable Dropship Task Force in the verse, ready to move at a moment’s notice anytime, anywhere.
I guard my unit’s mission with secrecy, for my only true ally is the the void of space and the element of surprise. In battle, I eagerly meet the enemy for I volunteered to be up front where the fighting is hard.* I fear no foe’s ability, nor underestimate his will to fight. *
The mission and my precious cargo are my concern. I will never surrender. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy, and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my unit or those for whom we fly.
Gallantly will I show the verse and the elite forces I support that a DOAR Kicker is a specially selected and well trained soldier.
I serve with the memory and pride of those who have gone before me for they loved to fight, fought to win and would rather die than quit.
DOAR Kickers never quit, we deliver!
We are an ORG based on the principals and organizational structure of the 160th SOAR. Star Citizen is, however, a video game. And as such, absolute and life altering dedicated will never be a requirement. We believe in touching grass, then kicking ass!
