Astrosoldier

Astrosoldiers are a specialised class of soldier in the United Viechtyr Space Corps, equipped for combat in the vacuum of space. They are also commonly used to board enemy spacecraft, typically aboard a drill ship.

Astrosoldiers are under the direct command of the UVSC, not a subbranch like the army or navy. Thus, they have a higher status in the military.

Equipment
All astrosoldiers wear vacuum suits to help them survive in space. Their armour is made of V-Kevlar like most other troops' armour. They are also equipped with jetpacks to help them manoeuvre in space.

Their main weapon is the TKN-144 Solar Rifle, an advanced form of the more common TKN-58 Solar Rifle. They are also equipped with plasma cutters and a plasma axe to use in melee combat.
