DA4 unit: "Raspberries"

"Imma berry you." - Blackberry Officer Wylde

 

The typical combat squadron of Aberryca, or "Raspberries," are a high utility combat unit. They are named as such due to their cluster formations, ability to spread over a territory quickly, as well as provoke enemy combatants.

 

They are lead by Blackberry officers, who typically ride genetically modified black bears, or bearicorns, and carry a traditional bullwhip to instigate a mad frenzy in their mount. The bearicorn itself is a terrifying site on the battlefield, able to sniff out enemy squads and merciless maul and gore enemy soldiers. Like the women of the Berry Corps, they thrive on JUICE. You can only hope to be gunned down by the Blackberry before the bearicorn reaches you. If you are close enough to make out Big Red on the battle standard, you best flee.

 

The JUICE is provided to the squad by the medic, who sports a large supply of the Aberrycan lifeblood on her back. As long as the JUICE holds, wounded Raspberry soldiers will keep getting up again. She also serves the dual purpose of euthanizing male enemy soldiers who are not taken as slaves. JUICE is distributed with the multi tool injector she carries.

 

The comms people are commonly referred to as "pollinators," as they spread the latest intel to the rest of the corps and are the ones who enable Blackberries to take quick and decisive action. More than simply the radio people of the squad, they are master tacticians and hackers. Since the pandemic of 2020 the world became increasingly reliant on wireless internet communication. Pollinators can hijack these radio signals with their advanced comms equipment and are a mobile cyberattack waiting to happen. Nations relying on wireless AI based drones of any kind have quickly found their machinations turned against them after a pollinator modifies their protocols.

 

The rest of the squad is comprised of garden variety Berries, or the standard infantry. They carry either a Berryblaster hand cannon or a Juicer rifle.
