In the tabletop wargame AT-43, the United Nations of Ava has lead humanity on the road to progress, success and prosperity. Their successes were undermined after the Red Blok revolution, but the two have a tenuous cease-fire to fight the forces of the morphos (slang for Therians). The U.N.A. army is called the White Stars.
Factions of the U.N.A. Each faction in AT-43 is guided by three different factions or philosophies. In game play, the path or faction you choose affects in-game abilities of your troops. The U.N.A. factions are as follows:
*Central Command leads the White Stars armies and takes them to victory.
*The Military Industrial Complex (M.Ind) equips the glorious U.N. soldiers with powerful combat technologies.
*Union, nicknamed Syndicate by its enemies gathers the corps of defenders of order and freedom who show the splendor of U.N. ideals across the universe.
White Star Forces *Star Trooper The Star Trooper is the basic White Star troop and provide a good defensive unit. A one star infantry unit, they come equipped with an assault rifle and a combat knife. Special weapon attachments include a flamer, volcano mg, and a missile launcher. Grenades are available as an optional weapon.
*Steel Trooper The Steel Troopers make up the core of the White Stars army. A two star unit that provides a powerful selection of attack options, they start with a laser rifle and a combat knife. Special weapon options for the Steel Troopers allow them to carry a laser gun, volcano mg, or missile launcher. As with the Star Troopers, grenades are an optional weapon for this soldier.
*Shock Trooper Details are unavailable for the Shock Trooper. What is know is that they’re a 2 star unit which carries an SMG as their standard ranged weapon, and a powerpike for melee. The SMG may be traded in for a flamer, and grenades are an option
*Wing Trooper Highly mobile, the Wing Troopers are a quick moving, 2 star infantry unit. Basic equipment includes a multilaser and combat knife, while allowing for the use of a laser gun, missile launcher, or sniping rifle. It should be noted that this is the only U.N.A. unit that can use the sniping ability. Grenades, as always, are an option.
*Steel TacArms The Steel TacArms are a three star infantry unit. Safely encased inside power-armor, the Steel TacArms trooper carries two laser guns. Thick armor and good penetration from their weapons makes them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
*Shock TacArms Not much is known about the Shock TacArms units other than that they are a three star infantry unit and carry a flamer and a powerlance.
*Jam TacArms Jam TacArms troops are the ultimate in anti-tank infantry for the White Stars. A three star unit, they come equipped with a jammer and a missile launcher. With the jammer’s incredible penetration ability, and the missile launcher’s ability to lock, enemy vehicles are in serious trouble when the Jam TacArms are in town.
*Death Dealer TacArms The Death Dealer TacArms are very rare combatants, used only for one-off missions. They are dedicated to anti-personnel combat, with each trooper carrying the equivalent firepower of an entire unit. A three star infantry figure, the Death Dealer comes equipped with two volcano mg’s, and a gyroscope. They can optionally be equipped with a laser targeter, allowing indirect fire and lock-on weapons to hit a target out of their line of sight.
*Fire Toad The Fire Toad is the staple strider of the White Stars army. A one star unit, it has good mobility and sufficient firepower to take on both infantry and enemy vehicles. Equipped with two light laser cannons, its presence on the battlefield in a given.
*Fire Toad “Iron Rain” A variation on the basic Fire Toad strider, the Iron Rain replaces the laser cannons with light mg’s. Sacrificing quality for quantity, the Iron Rain showers the enemy with a hail of bullets.
*Fire Toad “Light Prince” The Light Prince takes the middle of the road equipping itself with a light laser cannon and a light mg. A versatile strider.
*Fire Toad “Lancelot” When simple ranged attacks aren’t enough, the Lancelot comes into play. Equipped with dual light grenade launchers, the radial damage output is enough to put a severe cramp in your opponent’s day.
*Defender Snake The Defender Snake is a two star, medium combat strider. It’s basically a Fire Toad with two medium missile launchers strapped to the top. Incredibly deadly in vehicle combat, it lacks any anti-infantry defenses.
*Defender Snake “Cobra” The Cobra variation of the DS addresses the anti-infantry problems by trading a missile launcher for a medium mortar. Possessing an excellent area of devastation, the mortar will quickly lay waste to clustered enemy units.
*Defender Snake “Cobra M8” Not much is known about the M8, other than it has replaced one missile launcher from the DS and replaced it with a medium laser cannon.
*Fire Crawler Again, not much is known about the Fire Crawler. It is a three star, heavy combat strider, carrying two heavy grasers. These guns do an incredible amount of damage at a high rate of speed. Deadly to both infantry and vehicles, the Fire Crawler should mow down anything that gets in its way.
