Horn Company
RP Rank: 2nd Lieutenant Woods
Suggestion:
Doom's Unit - Sub Unit
I'd like to preface this post with saying this will be a REPLACEMENT sub unit to Havoc Squad. Amongst Doom's Unit, the Officer Core, alongside majority of our members have unanimously agreed on one thing, Horn Company would be better than Havoc Squad. We, as a whole, are a bit tired of the "false lore" and want to use this new update as a chance to start over with a new sub unit. This Unit, already commonly referred to on the server, would be Horn Company. This would be a small sub unit, that is lore friendly, that could specialize in base defense.
Horn Company Lore
Horn Company was a company of clone troopers within the Grand Army of the Republic led by Captain Lock during the Clone Wars. Horn Company was present when Jedi Master Eeth Koth was captured aboard the Steadfast. More than half of the members were wiped out during the attack and the rest escaped via escape pods.
Purpose
Horn Company, being a sub-unit of Doom’s Unit, will inherently receive the Shields that were shown in Clone Wars. These shields will be used in a more conventional matter. They will be used to protect the critical points of the base during Defcon 4 and Defcon 3. Here, they will use specific positioning and spacing to control and defend these locations. These vital points are the HMC and BCC.
Alongside this, it will revitalize one of the current Jedi Masters on the server, Eeth Koth. This will give Horn Company a Jedi General and DU one as well. From here, Eeth Koth and Horn Company can establish defensive positioning in necessary areas.
They will receive nothing more for their weapons than the standard class loadout for DU. They will follow under the orders of the lead, Captain Lock and Jedi General Eeth Koth.
Why?
Before commenting that it's too much, that we just got new models, that it's not needed or anything of the sort, I hope you read this. Doom's Unit doesn't have the numbers to support both Havoc and Horn Company, but with this, we'd like to replace Havoc Squad with Horn Company. Havoc Squad was an idea created by an individual that was fantasized into a reality. It has no contingent lore and isn't relevant to the Clone Wars in the slightest. It was a fan fiction made reality. We're tired of it. We hope to use this as a platform to create a sub unit that could be beneficial to the server as a whole. The roleplay aspect that could be created by Horn has much greater prospect than what Havoc could. Not having slotted, fake lore characters could truly prove to assist Doom's Unit greater than any of us could imagine. I hope you look at this post and see the chance to get rid of Havoc finally and introduce a new aspect into the server has many more benefits than what currently resides.
Implementation:
Removal of Havoc Squad and introduction of Horn Company

Job:
Captain Lock - Lock would obviously be part of Horn Company since he is the Commander of the group. Since he is a Captain in the Company, it would be WO+ to try out for the Lock position. He will still be able to get promoted to higher ranks. Lock would have the standard Commander kit of dual DC-17s.
Officer (XO) - This Officer Whitelist for Horn Company would be the XO and right-hand to the one and only, Captain Lock. This spot would be filled by the most dedicated member to the Company and would provide leadership in the absence of the Captain.
ARC Trooper - Arc Troopers in the Company would not add additional slots to the Doom’s Unit roster. They would be considered apart of it and still follow lead of the ARCL of DU. This way it’d still be fair as a result to other sub-units not receiving more slots. They’d be trained in close quarters combat and expected to be the best.
Medical Trooper - The Medical Trooper would be the best of the best in terms of the Medical Specialization of Doom’s Unit. They’d be expected to know the ins and outs of MED RP and be able to supply this need for Medical in close quarters and under severe pressure.
Heavy Trooper - The Heavy Troopers of Horn Company are expected to have extensive training in Trigger Discipline. Due to being up close in most scenarios, they are anticipated to be well disciplined, trained, and able to execute orders at a moment's notice. They are the true last line of defense.
Slots:
Not applicable to current character format on server.
Model:
TBD (Will Speak with Development if Accepted)
Weapons:
Normal Class Loadouts for Doom's Unit.
EDIT:
After some testing and research into the battalion. The best solution we've come up with for the uniqueness of the Horn Company will be integrating Engineer Training into the Company. This essentially means that, alongside their protection of the HMC, we'd like them to be well equipped to be able to repair the Generator at any point. This means the uniqueness aspect will come from the Company spawning with a Fusion Cutter and/or a Datapad. This will allow them to be well equipped and encourage that aspect of roleplay that isn't necessarily incorporated into the sever at the moment. We believe this will create a positive aspect and also add onto the Sub Unit without any need for custom spawn weapons.
