H.A.R.D. Corps

The Hellenic Augmented & Robotic Defense Corps consists of DreadBot, WarBot, ScoutBot, and Cyborgs enlisted in the Hellenic Armed Services.

Walkers such as the Dread, War and ScoutBots are primarily used as urban combat vehicles where their mobility is far more relevant than in open field, where tanks, armor and air power are vastly more potent.

Cyborgs generally go into one of three streams - Fighter pilots (their augmented bodies can resist G forces to a much higher degree than Mk1 humans), Marines (where they are comfortable operating in vacuum with relatively little additional equipment), and heavy assault.

Cyborgs are generally rare. For someone to voluntarily replace *everything* but their brain and spinal cord with a synthetic replacement is generally seen as dangerous or unstable. But for some, like those suffering from genetic maladies that leave the brain intact while crippling the body, it is the only logical choice. For them, twenty years of service in the HARD Corps is a small price to pay in exchange for their life.
