TOHAA COMBAT FORCE REPACK ALPHA TROOPS

From today until the 31st of this current month of May, the Happy Days are back in their 3rd edition. What are the Happy Days? Well, it's a special sale event where we rescue discontinued products from a long time ago, very demanded by the community, and we make them available again for a limited time for their production on demand. And what better protagonist for this 3rd edition than the Infinity faction where everything revolves around the number 3: Tohaa.

Infinity veterans already know this alien faction very well, but for all those new players we are going to do deep a little bit in their faction background and their troops. 

TOHAA

The Tohaa are an advanced alien civilization currently waging an open war against the EI and its Combined Army. Guardians of one of the great treasures of the universe, the Tohaa have withstood the EI’s onslaught longer than any other race in this galaxy. The Tohaa are masters of biotechnology, which enables them to build terrible viral weapons and impervious symbiont armors, but also to alter other species, granting them more intelligence so they can fight by their side. The Tohaa need allies, and Humanity seems fitting for the first line of fight against the
Combined Army.
The forces of the Tohaa Trident, the name of the army of this implacable race, have a peculiar operating structure based on the number three, as illustrated by their combat Triads, units of three members that act as one. Also of note are the naming conventions of their regiments, inspired by an ancient numerological system. Tohaa troops are highly professional, seasoned in a thousand battles against the EI and have a long history of fighting on their own, without support and hopelessly outnumbered.

For a long time, the Tohaa species has been waging a war of attrition against the EI and its Combined Army, the current epitome of the Seeker races. The Tohaa have been more successful in their clash against the Combined Army than most of the species, now extinct or assimilated, that have tried to resist the hegemonic flood of the Evolved Intelligence in the past. But their success has taken a painful toll in the form of lost lives and planets. This is the greatest ordeal of their race, and the Tohaa are aware that, unless they manage to turn the tables with an unlikely breakthrough, it is just a matter of time that they too will succumb to the EI onslaught.

TOHAA COMBAT FORCE REPACK ALPHA TROOPS

KAMAEL LIGHT INFANTRY

Vaarso Battlespeak Notation: Since first days of the Colonial Force, the Tohaa army created after Unification and forerunner of the modern Tohaa Trident, the hundreds have been used to identify the basic military corps. Nowadays, the hundreds are the numeric denominator for the vertebral corps, those making up the core of each of the three spikes or branches of the Tohaa Trident. For Tohaa numerologists, the number 110 symbolizes glory through very painful conditions and great personal sacrifice.

After the initial military disasters in the Wars against the Fenrig Imperative, there was only time to apply the reforms of the New Model Army to one integral military body, the Kamael Light Infantry, or the 110. The New Model Army’s success was evident: Facing the Fenrig, Kamael Infantry obtained victories while the rest of the basic infantry corps were reduced to ashes. At the end of the Wars against the Fenrig Imperative, the Kamael Light Infantry had become the main infantry corps for the Tohaa Trident, absorbing the remnants of the other infantry types.


The Kamael Light infantry comprises the main combat corps of the Tohaa Trident and is the fundamental support for any combat action, from massive clashes to limited operations. Currently, Light Infantry regiments are the biggest and most numerous units in the Tohaa military forces. Spread across the entire Tohaa Trinomial territory, they are present on every frontline against the EI’s Combined Army. Constant conflict against such a powerful adversary has sharpened the skills of these regiments, hardening them in the heat of battle. However, it is selflessness which distinguishes the glorious Kamael Light Infantry, always carrying the weight of action without respite. There is no more steady or determined stride than that ofthe troops that advance, day after day, to liberate their people from tyranny and to open the gates of the future for their entire race.

MAKAUL TROOPS

Vaarso Battlespeak Notation: After the application of the New Model Army reforms, essential to fighting the Wars against the Fenrig Imperative, few units survived the conversion from the obsolete Colonial Force to the modern and effective Tohaa Trident. Those which, because of their special characteristics, could weather the conversion to new tactics and structures were allowed to keep the special nomenclature for attack units of the old Tohaa Colonial Force. That nomenclature, usually encompassing tens of thousands, consists of more baroque and archaic code-names than those used by the majority of current Trident units. In the old and adventurous days of Tohaa colonization, Makaul Troops were also known as Light Assault Units. However, the name that stuck with them is their old numeric code-designator: Makaul, the 10100. A special number whose symbolism refers to titanic strength and courage as well as the concept of salvation from a physical danger.

 

Makaul Troops are both the most decorated and also the most troublesome unit in the Tohaa Trident. Heir to a glorious past, they characterized the age of Tohaa colonization and exploration. Specialists in light assault and close combat techniques, their mission was to be deployed in far flung positions with minimal equipment, to face a overwhelmingly superior enemy and win without expecting any support. How many times was a Tohaa outpost saved in extremis of an attack by wild beasts, savage tribes or insurrectionist rebels by a small group of these daredevil warriors? They soon became part of Tohaa popular culture and the main characters of the greatest deeds and adventures, both real and fictitious.

However, these bold and boastful warriors, forged in the fires of warfare, true combat dynamos, don't deal well with peaceful times. Makaul Troops constantly need the energy of action. The nightmare and torment of local authorities and Tohaa military police, they are as troublesome in peace as they are good in battle. When not in combat the Makaul are well-known for their dependence on Socar, drinking, playing and fighting constantly, both between each other and against anyone crazy enough to cross their path. There is no chance for rest, as these mad soldiers are addicted to strong emotions. To them there is always an objective to take, an enemy to annihilate and a victory to celebrate. Because that is the unit's spirit and if you don't like it, any of them will be more than willing to discuss the matter with you. And you can be sure there will be more than words involved in the process!

CHAKSA AUXILIARS

Tohaa High Command, true to its doctrine of "Letting others be the ones to fight your wars", quickly recognized the military potential of the Exaltation project for the Chaksa race. As soon as the first tests were successful, the Trident involved itself in the project to ensure a measure of control over its results. Therefore, during the formation process of exalted Chaksa, they are inculcated with the precepts and ideals of the Trident. Through this indoctrination the High Command ensures a constant number of Chaksa recruits that, following their formation period, increase the numbers of Tohaa military forces. Chaksa make excellent light operatives.

Their resistance and exceptional physical qualities make them all-terrain troops, able to march without pause, carrying localization biodevices and all the supplies and equipment of a combat force under the worst environmental conditions without complaint. However, it is in the midst of combat where Chaksa Auxiliaries stand out for their bravery and their unbreakable loyalty to the Tohaa cause, fighting to their last breath for those who exalted them to sentience and allowed them win their place on the galactic map.

TOHAA DIPLOMATIC DELEGATES

The Diplomatic Delegates are highly respected in Tohaa society. They are a social elite far above any politician. Easily recognized by their distinguished bearing, the Diplomatic Delegates are characterized by their extraordinary ability to maneuver in the most tempestuous situations intergalactic diplomacy can generate. The members of Tohaa Diplomacy are known for their flexibility and adaptability to any scenario. Such is their ability that the rumor is they have been biomodified to have extreme control over their pheromonic capabilities, so they can exactly control the information they emit. In this way, a Diplomatic Delegate may even lie without betraying itself if need be or even completely block its emissions to avoid revealing secrets or disturbing other races sensitive to pheromonic information. Those biomodifications would also include alterations to phonation organs so they can replicate sounds of other alien languages, making direct communication easier, without need for simultaneous translation devices.

As a civilization of eminent explorers, the Tohaa have a long record of first contacts with other species, not all of them friendly, and quite often dangerous. The Diplomatic Delegates are the first ones to make initial contact and to enter unknown terrain. That is why they are required to always have a high level of preparation, cold blood, and an absolute level of professionalism, because their tasks also include high-level espionage, always implicit, never explicit, as well asconspiracy and intrigue. For this reason, the Diplomatic Delegates are depicted as the main characters in many works of fiction in the Tohaa entertainment industry, personifying the perfect ideal of the elegant, refined and glamorous spy.
