Nómadas - Gecko Squadron

“Strong and expeditious, this is our squad. If they wanted prisoners and for the facilities to suffer as little damage as possible, why did they send us?”
Wing Sergeant Héctor Velasco, Gecko Squad. Report of the defense of the Nochtli Nomadic Extraction Platform. First Phase of the NeoColonial Wars.
The Geckos were the smallest and lightest TAG model in the Reptilian series, and also the first to become obsolete. Conceived as an early contact and reconnaissance TAG, the limited speed capabilities of its diminutive powerplant, light armor, and rudimentary aiming and fire control system proved insufficient in the fierce arms race of the Human Sphere. However, despite all their flaws, the Geckos had a virtue highly esteemed by the military of Corregidor: they were comparatively small and very cheap. The Corregidor Jurisdictional Command was also able to appreciate the simplicity of its design, which facilitated maintenance tasks, as well as its small size, which made it ideal for naval operations and for moving through the narrow corridors of spaceships and orbital, operational environments most common for this Nomad force.
The veteran officers of Corregidor, hardened throughout a thousand battles on ships and in asteroid bases, and accustomed to the worst tricks of dirty warfare in deep space, knew how to see the virtues hidden from the rough little Geckos. In order to exploit those qualities that they had been able to appreciate, those from Corregidor changed the rules of the game, the way of understanding these units in combat. The Geckos were to be used not as a typical TAG, but as a super-heavy infantry unit, capable of resisting damage and sweeping the opposition, but maximizing its chances of success and survival if it acts in coordination with the rest of the force. assault. At his request, Praxis technicians optimized the previous deficiencies of his original design and endowed it with 0-G and EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) operational capability. Now these armored lizards have become the spearhead of Nomad boarding forces, navigating and securing the narrow corridors and catwalks where their compact size and versatile weaponry make them the alpha males, the toughest of the pack.
