Starship Troopers Miniatures Game: Pathfinders Army Book

The best trained troopers within the Mobile Infantry, it is the role of the Pathfinders to accept and complete the most hazardous missions in the war zone. Equipped with the advanced M-1A6 power suit and taught to take the fight to the Arachnids, Pathfinder platoons can be found in every campaign.

With squads having easy access to specialists and advanced weaponry, the Pathfinders represent the pinnacle of the Mobile Infantry, the elite. Often fighting far behind enemy lines, Pathfinder platoons may even enter Arachnid tunnel networks in an effort to exterminate the aliens from the galaxy.

All troopers of the Mobile Infantry have the respect and gratitude of the civilians and citizens of the Federation. Despite the destruction of Buenos Aires that marked the true beginning of the Arachnid War, Earth remains a peaceful and prosperous place and its inhabitants know they have the Mobile Infantry and Mighty Fleet to thank for that. On colony worlds where clashes with the Arachnids come with alarming regularity, support for the military forces of the Federation tends to be much stronger.

The Pathfinders are a cut above the average trooper, even though few civilians or citizens are aware of their existence. They are the troopers that other troopers respect, the highly trained elite. It is the Pathfinders that reconnoiter important strategic positions behind the Arachnid line. They are the troopers tasked with extracting squads cut off by swarms of warrior bugs or entering bug holes to assassinate a potent brain bug. They are granted the best equipment and training the Federation can provide but in return are expected to complete missions that other forces within the Mobile Infantry would deem suicidal.
