I've had a couple questions about various militarys in the Shadowrun world. The UCAS is my primary concern, though information on the Tir Tariengire, CAS, and CFS would be appreciated. I'm looking for the following information:
Equipment: Sidearms Assault Rifles Sub-Machine Guns Shotguns Organization: Ranking System (Paygrades) Structure of Services Services Structure of Regiments, Ships, etc. Uniform Descriptions This is my first post here, and I hope I can get information here that I haven't been able to get elsewhere. Thanks! -capt20 "Lieutenant Rheiv Jyden" SR: Seattle MUSH |
