The Thunderborn are graduates of the Aegis War Academy’s most aggressive and dangerous curriculum: high-risk insertion, close-quarters dominance, and guerrilla disruption. Whether dropped from orbit into hostile terrain or deployed behind enemy lines, they excel where speed, surprise, and brutality matter more than brute force or prolonged planning.
Each Thunderborn is trained to move with lethal precision through any environment - urban warzones, dense jungle, toxic ruins. They embrace asymmetric warfare, using terrain, technology, and human intuition to overwhelm and vanish before retaliation arrives. Unconventional by nature, Thunderborn squads operate best when left with minimal orders and maximum autonomy.
Their motto, “Strike First. Strike Last.”, is not a boast but a tactical philosophy. Thunderborn are not built to hold ground - they're built to take it away from others in minutes.

Low-Profile Muscle: You can carry heavy gear or armor without drawing attention - packing force into an unassuming frame.
Impact Trace: When arrving post battle, you can identify the direction and method of breach and escape, gaining basic clues in seconds without a full forensic roll.
You may not remain idle in high-risk scenarios – if nothing is happening, you're expected to make something happen.
You may not take captives unless extraction is prearranged – you’re not equipped to hold.
