🧠 TECH UNIT

“They don’t pull the trigger — they pull the strings.”

Every Strike Team has a Tech. Without one, you don’t just walk blind — you die blind. The Tech is the sensor operator, hacker, recon analyst, and battlefield engineer rolled into one. They don’t need to be the strongest or the fastest — they just need to be right.

Using advanced sensor rigs, scanning drones, signal interceptors, and neural uplinks, Techs map threats before they’re visible, disable enemy defenses, and exploit environmental weaknesses. They’re the ones who open sealed doors when time is running out, silence alarms before reinforcements arrive, and trace parasite signals back to the source.

While others fight the enemy with weapons, the Tech fights with information.

🧠 Lore Detail

Most Techs weren’t soldiers — they were system architects, salvagers, or fringe explorers. Some were from corporate R&D, others from illegal tunnel-mapping outfits. But all of them see patterns where others see chaos.
