# Unit Background and Theme:

It is 15 BBY. As the Empire continues to annex former CIS territory in the Western Reaches, the desire for the continual expansion of the Empire's military only grows. In response to growing concerns regarding rebellious elements within imperial systems, Stormtrooper Command has authorized the training and subsequent deployment of additional Stormtrooper detachments in order to bolster active peacekeeping efforts. With discontent growing in many of the more backwater, unsupported systems, the situation is deteriorating rapidly. One of these newly formed Stormtrooper elements, the 9th Imperial Legion, is mobilized around this time to perform counter insurrectionist operations within many of these less-incorporated systems.

# Unit Background: Gameplay style

The 9th is focused on providing an authentic, and hardcore experience. Missions are structured logically, and use certain custom systems/processes to ensure operational standards and quality requirements are being met. Unlike a typical starsim unit, the 9th is a genuine hardcore unit, offering a challenging environment to our players. Milsim units in starsim, effectively, do not currently exist, and as such this unit was created to attempt to run a starsim unit in such a manner.

We offer unparalleled levels of quality and standards within our operation design and unit organizational management. Come be apart of something better.

# Unit Standards:

While new players are welcome - be ready for a rough ride! This unit does not practice handholding, and while new players can absolutely participate, their survival depends on their ability to adapt and potentially have to learn new concepts along the way. Training is focused on core unit concepts and procedurals, and less so about how to left click your mouse button correctly. If you are looking for something a bit harder, or are a veteran player who already has lots of experience from other units, this may be the right fit for you.

\- We're an 18+ unit with exceptions possible for 17+.

\- You are expected to adhere to all rules and regulations in the unit.

\- Legal copy of the game is required (Obviously).

\- Microphone is required.

\- This is a NA server that is open to global participants. You MUST be able to speak English fluently.

\- This is a no-frills hardcore unit that is for dedicated players, with no room for layabouts. High quality operations beget high standards from the players in the unit. There is a 50% (2/4) monthly attendance requirement for the mandatory Sunday operations hosted every week, pending certain holidays/events. LOA systems are present, but abuse will not be tolerated. This rounds up to a commitment of about 4 hours per month - if you cannot typically meet such a meager requirement we are not the unit for you. There are no unit trainings or other mandatory events outside of the scheduled Sunday slot, so overall commitment stays that low at all times.

\- Passing BCT is required. BCT can be done 100% out of game since this is not a unit focused on appealing to new players, and trial-by-fire is an acceptable method of determining if someone may be allowed to skip it. Focused on keybind information and standards.

# Unit Operation Times / Technical Information:

The main, mandatory event for the unit, which is currently the "Firm Indifference" campaign, is set on: 

**SUNDAY - 4:30 PM EST / 02:30 PM MST / 9:30 PM LONDON TIME** 

Any scheduled side operations for this unit, which are completely optional, typically happen around:

**SATURDAY - Evening, EST time.**

All mandatory events are hosted on that Sunday timeframe, including FTX's, and you will never have to commit more to the unit than potentially (if you request it) separate BCT timing, and the Sunday event.

As with any respectable unit, we have a variety of MOS options. They are:

Rifleman

Autorifleman

Marksman

Missile Specialist / AT rifleman

Corpsman

Engineer

As well as certain roles that require particularly high skill ceilings:

Squad Leader

Team Leader
