Description The H-MAT (High Mobility Assault Troopers) is an elite fighting unit dedicated to asymmetrical warfare tactics and using genetically augmented humans to fight their enemies. Though superior to every other advanced human special forces such as RECON and HAVOC, the H-MAT is considered the lowest compared to other Higher-Tier Supersoldier Programs, especially the LUCIFER program. 


The unit draws its recruits from various human special forces units and elite military schools. Then the recruits are oriented to harsh training regimes and the ways in guerrilla warfare and military protocols. Once they have succeeded in a period of 9 months, the recruits are then photo-indoctrinated to ensure loyal and obedient service to both the nation and the government. After then, they are injected with a supersoldier serum designed to expand the usage of the nervous system (thereby increasing reaction time and sensitivity of the five senses), increase muscle and skeletal mass and modify the body's metabolism and defense systems to ensure quicker regeneration of wounds and prevention of disease and infection. The new supersoldiers would become stronger, faster and smarter than normal human soldiers and are then immediately assigned to their new squads. They will usually be allowed a few days to recognize each other before they are sent to their first real-time combat situation.


Though first initiated as a black ops unit raised to combat large rebel and extremist forces through assassinations and sabotage, the first all-out combat with the Chasans and the Monarch redefined the H-MAT's mandate as operatives assisting infantry assaults and shock troops capturing and destroying enemy positions on ground. They still conducted some wetwork; taking out potential commanders and sabotaging their assets. From then on, tales of these seemingly superhuman figures in advanced armor forced H-MAT to go public, effectively changing much of their chain of command and operations. Much of it became a normal military bureaucracy, with the addition of a large number of government clerks keeping the H-MAT away from public suspicions. This of course was a dismay to many of the original command staff, as they wanted a small, secret and well organized black ops unit that remained unchecked by anything else except the War Chiefs of Central Command. Nevertheless the public recognition justified more funding, thus the Command Staff went along, since they could use the money to develop and manufacture more advanced armors and weapons for their operators. The H-MAT program also saw the attachment of the brightest Singaporean minds, allowing them to advance ahead of other units faster than expected. By 2090, all H-MAT soldiers received the Artemis Mark 3 Armor, which was a radical improvement over the previously used Mark 2 with the addition of a Hydrogen Fusion Module replacing Fuel Cells, and a field generator that can either produce energy shields, kinetic repulsor field or a cloaking field over the armor for different combat situations. These improvements would serve well for the H-MAT soldiers during the Nagron War, allowing them to face another more advanced enemy. By the end of the war, H-MAT suffered huge amount of losses and its manpower was below the minimum requirement. H-MAT was temporarily suspended from major combat situations to recover and recruit new members to replace their losses. By 2101, manpower rose to acceptable levels and H-MAT was again allowed to conduct offensive and defensive operation against the new threat of the defecting Separatist Union. 


Components of a H-MAT Soldier

------------------------------------------


Advanced Combat Display Mark 4 Helmet: Housing state of the art display, sensory and communication technology, this helmet extends the operator's superhuman awareness of the surrounding by providing radar, sonar, Etherium Pulses to detect cloaked enemies and a constantly-updating battlefield map complete with terrain detail and positions of both foe and friend. The operator can also receive calls from his superiors or allies effectively with the assistance of a small but powerful radio transmitter. The Helmet also provides an adaptive targeting reticule for easier aiming, ammunition, heath and shield strength bars as well as being 100 percent airtight for the operator to work in hazardous environments and the vacuum of space.


Artemis Mark 4 Armor System: Compromised of an Extra-Dense Tryomite Outer Shell and a Reactive Liquid Metal Barrier underneath, the Artemis Mark 4 provides the operator more than enough protection from small arms fire, explosives and energy-based fire such as lasers and plasma. The armor covers the upper torso, the shoulders and hands as well as the thighs and legs. The Armor also has a Multi-Field Generator capable of producing either a defensive layer of energy shielding and kinetic repulsor fields or a radar-disruption field and a Light Refraction Field that cloaks the operator from both sight and radar. Different frequencies of electric currents can also shape the physical properties of the armor itself, allowing the user to increase the density of the gloves for more potency in melee combat (as well as for defence) or adapt the armor molecular patterns to stick on surfaces for climbing buildings and natural obstacles, increasing mobility in an otherwise harsh environment. The armor is powered by a Fusion Pack that mainly uses the nuclear fusion of Hydrogen for power. However it can also use other types of light gases such as Helium, as long as they are not too dense for the fusion process to occur. This adaptable power system allows the user to operate in atmospheric environments for as long as they have to without refueling. It is also a fully-sealed system, complete with radioactive and electromagnetic protection and air filters capable of eliminating bacteria and viruses. The Mark 4 Armor is also mounted on the Nanosuit via nano-molecular 'Velcro' connections, allowing easy placement and removal. This is a radical step, as previous ones such as the Mark 3 and Mark 2 suit parts were attached via several bolts, screws and even soddering processes, making it nearly impossible to remove the suit once attached without rendering it completely nonfunctional.


'Nanosuit' Flexible Adaptive Molecular Bodysuit: This flexible form-fitting bodysuit made out of adaptable 'Nano-Cells' is worn by every operator in H-MAT and is used to facilitate the Artemis Mark 4 Armor system. Various specific frequencies of electric currents can affect the physical and molecular properties of the 'Nano-Cells', able to increase the melee damage dished out by the user, carry objects several times the operator's weight and provide increased amount of protection. It also allows the user to have access to the Mark 4 Armor systems and the ACD Mark 4 Helmet. Without the Armor, the Nanosuit is only bulletproof and energy-resistant to a certain degree.


Multi-Directional Thrusters: A pair of small thrusters that helps the H-MAT soldier to break fall during an airdrop or navigate in zero gravity environments such as space. On planets with a gravitational field on par with Earth, the thrusters are not strong enough to lift up the operator and his Artemis Armor, not much to say when maintaining altitude in mid-air.


X-25 Combat Carbine: A compact-sized rifle firing small but effective 4.48X40mm Caseless Rounds from a P-90 style standard 50-round magazine. By default it comes attached with an Advanced Tactical Acquisition Device (ATAD) scope. Comes with a smart computer that can calculate firing solutions based on distance and wind speeds, the ATAD scope helps the user to aim easier and kill more bad guys. It also displays ammunition count and has infrared, night vision and can connect with the H-MAT's ACD Mark 4 Helmet's Heads Up Display. For its size, the electromagnetic rails of the weapon allows the accuracy and range of a DMR. Different variations exist, from a LMG to a Sniper Rifle variant.

H-MAT Soldiers can also use many different kinds of weapons, from other assault rifles to rocket launchers
