ORC & its use
Added 2020-12-14 12:19:34 +0000 UTCEarly in the piece it became clear that discipline was going to be an issue.
Indoctrination could only go so far & loyalty wears off after a few close calls.
The implant made for very effective disciplined fighting units that could aggressively acquire assets and Neon Dark.
ORC revolutionised the application of force in the conflict for Neon Dark.
Prior to ORC a squad of well disciplined aggressive combatants could deliver a fast strike to a facility, causing panic amongst the combat units there resulting in a surrender.
IN the surrender of course would be prisoners and from the prisoners information could be extracted.
Often leading to massive financial losses for the company.
So comes the main benefit of ORC.
Surrender prevention.
In the training phase, surrender is made out to be worse than being expended. Worse than swallowed by an Azolologoth even worse than sinking into liquid earth.
But in intense skirms the thought of being expended in an ORC free mind is frightening.
So ORC coupled with orders and procedures to ensure complete expenditure of units during skirms prevents intelligence leaks.
When a combat unit is seen to be captured by the enemy, the captured unit becomes the main target no matter what.
In the older set posted above, the CPD units ensure that the captured unit is taken out prior to taking out the BFC unit.
Information on anything can be uttered in a few sentences.
In fact if there is a combat units captured, who is non ORC, command will utilize up to a pre determined number to expend the unit.
