The Perennis
Shocktroop Division is comprised of approximately 750 footsoldiers,
rumored to be under the command of Seige. The Perennis soldiers are
durable troops who wear thick, durable, armor and are armed with high-yield
weapons (the pictured weapons are only two of the potent weapons in
Perennis armories). The purpose of Cobra was to make durable soldiers
who could survive any terrain and at the same time could give beatings
to any force which opposed them.
All Perennis
Shocktroops are trained for ten years in the Degana Sector of Cobra,
a land area of 100 square miles completely covered with city ruins.
Here, the trainees hone their survival skills and master their weapons
before being tested in the North Pole, Ecuador, and the deep sea prior
to their insertion in the field.
Perennis
Shocktroops have only been engaged in combat twice. The first engagement
was a small skirmish with AmeriCORPS scouts on the border in 2197, which
resulted in no casualties. The second encounter occured only three days
afterwards in a massive, all-scale battle with numerous companies of
AmeriCORPS soldiers. The Perennis Shocktroops were able to hold back
the AmeriCORPS assault and actually gain some ground despite being in
a defensive position before Stormtroopers came to assist in battle.
Projected hits before the assistance arrived is estimated to be at least
125, when Perennis casualties numbered only 24.
Although
the Perennis Shocktroops have never fully engaged in full-scale warfare
by themselves, their potency is not in doubt, since AmeriCORPS commanders
have seemingly purposely evaded the location of Perennis Shocktroops
on the border. The Perennis Shocktroops are mainly positioned on the
Cobra-AmeriCORPS border, and none have engaged GI Joe revolutionaries,
but due to their potential threat if left alone, that all may change
in a short time...
