Introducing the Zonettes..STAR Corp Supplied

The Zonettes are 3rd party supplied bodies to fill in for expended Black Faction Units. Arriving as a "blank" (to be revealed) from STAR corp (System Tactics Assault Recruitment) Corp. Essentially offering insurance cover on missions. 

Black Faction is undertaking an up skill and more extensive training, resulting in longer recruitment cycle periods. Black Faction command tactics has not caught up with this as of yet and the standing numbers are predicted to fall. 

STAR corp holds a large number of ready to ship "blanks" to stand in for Black Faction units. 

Why?

It is a flexible option to be able to order units to temporarily replace losses. 

It may be in the interest of a commander to ship in fresh black faction units to cover off deficit and hold a position. 

But if the mission is not to hold a position for a long time, but short term, then shipping more units in requires more units to be shipped out. STAR corp can move in the units to fill the deficit, the units perform the task and black faction can remove their forces or whats left and STAR corp removes theirs. 

This allows Black Faction to retain more units of their own and use another companies for the "dirty" or "dying" work. 

Black Faction will give parameters of what they are planning to clip to task, for instance:

Clip to task 1 rotunda with two squads in support. 

STAR offers insurance to cover off expenditure up to 15 units at 1.5 meaning that if 15 get eliminated then they will replace them with 22 blanks. 

The Task clip moves in, the encounter enemy forces and 4 are expended. STAR ships 6 Blanks.

Upon landing the Blanks must be kitted out in Black Faction uniforms. New units have been deployed called ZoneX units, who carry the equipment to be fitted to the blanks- 

Black Faction was trialing bodysuits but the New Zone uniform has fast release clips to ensure quick and easy removal under all circumstances. 

The ZoneX units monitor the Zonettes for compliance, as they are off ORC control.

Once the Zonettes are expended or the cover period ends, the ZoneX units remove the equipment and return to base.
