Ground Troops:

1. Overview: Ground troops have never been a large part of the Malum military due to their race's relatively low population and reproduction rate. To compensate for this, the Malum's ground troops are trained extensively and have higher-than-average weapons and armor.

2. Types of Ground Troops:


 * Assault: These are the closest ting to 'Infantry' the Malum have. They are equipped with a standard Plasma Shotgun (Devastating at close range, but ineffective at anything more than forty yards), and a mini-Rail precision rifle (Mini handheld railgun, dealing silent, long range damage). Their armor is lightly shielded and is space proof, and it takes 1-2 shots from a mini-Rail to penetrate. About 500 can be supplied by each planet in a time of war, leading to a grand total of about 3000.


 * Stealth: The scouts, spies, and assassins of the Malum military. Equipped with personal cloaking, a muffled mini-Rail, and a plasma pistol (Deals quite a bit less damage than a Plasma Shotgun, but is effective up to 250 yards). Their armor is not shielded and can't take hits, but is space-proof. About 200 can be supplied by each planet, for a grand total of about 1200.


 * Heavy: The juggernauts of the Malum forces. Equipped with a plasma shotgun, a heavy-Rail (The equivalent of a rocket launcher), and a jetpack. Their armor is by far the best of the three units and is heavily shielded and space proof. It can take about 4 shots from a mini rail without shields to destroy. About 100 can be supplied from each planet, for a grand total of about 600.
