117th Supply Platoon



The 117th Supply Platoon under the command of Lt. Hording is responsible for the logistics for the 117th and front-line units.   Supplies such as food and ammunition are ferried from safe areas or orbit and stockpiled by the 117th to be disbursed to fighting units on the front. 

The Supply Platoon has access to Cargo 10 vehicles, which are versions of civilian 10-wheeled cargo trucks.  These are typically used to haul material from rearward depots to the 117th's encampment.  From there, the more heavily armed and armored Chimera APCs ferry food an ammunition to the front.  In addition to the cargo carriers, the unit also uses Sentinal power lifters to transfer cargo.  

A byproduct of being a major supply source is that the 117th gets first pick of any arriving supplies.  Thus, while shipments of grox steaks, teas, pastries, and fine wines may be shipped to the 117th, they rarely make it to the front line troops.
