The Xhorik drop regiments make use of heavy mechanized suits for certain critical missions. The most commonly used is the OGRE Class. Similar to drop sentinels, they are piloted by an individual and deployed by grav chute, but they are smaller, more heavily armored and generally equipped for combat at close quarters.
The left shoulder has the icon of the Xhorik mechanized heavy drop infantry painted white on a field of orange, the regimental color.
The XVI marking on the right shoulders indicates the 16th Squad of drop mech suits in the regiment.

| 16th Squad of OGRE Class Mech Suits, Xhorik 87th Drop Regiment |

| Four suits armed with ripper guns. One has the cockpit open and the pilot's helmet is visible. |
 |
| The remaining suits have melee weapons and boarding shields. |
 |
| The sergeant (boss) has a thunder hammer |
This unit gives the drop troopers their first decent melee unit. This should especially help in games of Zone Mortalis where their fliers and artillery are useless.
Yeah! Love the open cockpit! Great detail! It shows that they *aren't* getting a vicious groin-stretching in their battle suits. And the ripper guns are so bad-ass. Every nerd's dream: a flock of chaingunners to lay down a storm of bullets
