CS Combat Pilot Corps OCC

 CS Combat Pilot Corps O.C.C. 

Also known as the Robot Power armor & Aircraft (RPA) Pilot, Coalition pilots are specially trained pilots and experts in the use of aircraft, power armor and robots. These are the men and women behind the terrifying visage of the sky cycles, SAMAS, Enforcer UAR-ls, and Spider-skull Walkers. Because they are normally issued the SAMAS power armor for field operations and urban defense, they are known by the nickname "Sam." Aircraft Pilots are often called Fly-Boys. There is a low level rivalry that goes on between these two divisions. But it rarely erupts much past one-upmanship and the occasional fist fight.

There is no separate CS Air Force, but rather an Army Air Corps and a Navy Air Corps, with a sizeable Naval Infantry RPA Division as well. RPAs and Flyboys use the rank and pay grade of their parent organization.

CS SAMAS Power Armor Pilot M.O.S.: Widely known for their SAMAS power armor, these daring pilots are referred to as Sams. Fire support, reconnaissance, quick response, and patrols are the most common missions for SAMAS pilots. Requirements : P.P. 12 Training Time: 2 Years

Aerial Combat Piloting Boxing or Wrestling Detect Ambush (+15%) Detect Concealment (+10%) Land Navigation (+15%) Pilot Jet pack (+30%) Pilot Power Armor (+25%) Robot Combat Elite SAMAS Bonuses : SAMAS gain an additional +1 to strike with the C-40R rail gun at levels 2, 6, 11, and 15. They also get an additional +1 to Initiative at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. Rank: SAMAS Pilots start at E-3 (PFC or Seaman)

CS Ground Power Armor Pilot M.O.S.: While SAMAS power armor is the most widely known and distributed power armor in the CS military, it is far from the only one. A wide variety of ground based power armors are used by the CS, including several from other manufacturers. None have the widespread appeal of the SAMAS, and this is generally considered a lesser duty to that of a SAMAS, or even a Robot Pilot. Requirements : P.E. 12 Training Time: 2 Years

Detect Ambush (+15%) Detect Concealment (+10%) Forced March Ground Combat Piloting (a variant         of Combat Driving, same skill,          different name – only applies          to piloting non-flying Robots          and Power Armor, not vehicles) Land Navigation (+25%) Pilot Power Armor (+25%) Pilot Jet Packs (+15%) Robot Combat Elite: (Any non-SAMAS) Bonuses : Power Armor Pilots gain an additional +1 to dodge at levels 4, 8, and 12. They also get an additional +1 to Initiative at levels 2, 5, 9, and 13. Rank: Power Armor Pilots start at E-3 (PFC or Seaman)

CS Robot Pilot M.O.S.: Whether it is the Spider Skull Walker, the UAR-1 Enforcer, or any of the IAR series of Robots, this ground warfare specialist is the armored fist of the Coalition States military. While not afforded the same mystique as the SAMs or Flyboys, they are well loved by the infantry – infantry love fire support and heavy armor. Requirements : I.Q. 12 Training Time: 2 Years

Basic Electronics (+20%) Basic Mechanics (+20%) Field Armorer and Munitions Expert (+20%) Ground Combat Piloting (a variant         of Combat Driving, same skill,          different name – only applies          to piloting non-flying Robots          and Power Armor, not vehicles) Navigation (+15%) Pilot Robots and Power Armor (+20%) Robot Combat Elite: Chose 2 types of CS CR-, UAR- or IAR- series Robots. Bonuses : Robot Pilots are +1 to initiative at levels 2, 6, 10, and 15, but only when piloting multi-crew robot vehicles. Rank: Robot Pilots start at E-3 (PFC or Seaman). CS Aircraft Pilot M.O.S.: Commonly called Flyboys, CS Aircraft Pilots crew the hypersonic interceptors, bombers, helicopters, and transports that are the basis of the Coalition’s domination of North America. While few in number, these highly trained pilots see heavy action. The transport division in particular has some of the most well known military hardware in all of North America, the Death’s Head Transport. While it may have the aerodynamics of a brick, its powerful engines and heavy armor ensure it gets its payload to its destination most every time. Requirements : M.E. 12, P.E. 12 Training Time: 3 Years

Aerial Combat Piloting Basic Electronics (+20%) Aircraft Mechanics (+20%) Navigation (+20%) Parachuting (+15%) Pilot Combat Helicopter (+20%) Pilot Death's Head Transports** Pilot Jet Fighters (+20%) Rank: Flyboys start at WO-1 (Warrant Officer).

CS Wild Weasel SAMAS Pilot M.O.S.: : A lesser known variant of the SAMAS is the Wild Weasel Electronic Warfare variant. A combination communications specialist and combat pilot, these highly trained pilots are rare in the extreme for a few reasons. The SAMAS units they are specialized in are rare, with only a thousand or so in the entire CS Navy, and maybe three times that in the CS Army. It is a fairly recent design as well, so there isn't a heavy weight of tradition behind the MOS either. When these pilots are assigned to anything smaller than a company, it is usually where their electronic skills will serve double duty Requirements : I.Q. 12, M.E. 13, P.P. 15, P.E. 13, Must be literate in American, Must have Computer Operation and Advanced Mathematics. Training Time: 3 Years

Advanced Electronic Warfare (+5%) Basic Electronics (+30%) Computer Programming (+10%) Cryptography (+15%) Laser Communication (+5%) Intelligence (+15%) Pilot Power Armor (+25%) Robot Combat: Elite (SAMAS) Bonuses : Wild Weasel SAMAS Pilots gain an additional +1 to dodge at levels 2, 6, 11, and 15. They also get an additional +1 to Initiative at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. Also, increase the bonus for the Read Sensory Equipment and ECM to +25%.

These are additional areas of knowledge that do not get the advantage of any bonuses, except perhaps a bonus from an exceptional I.Q. All secondary skills start at the base skill level.
