the troop

YOU ARE THE TROOP

the troop is a band of conscripted soldiers who have been fed to the grinder of the galactic war machine and come out of it smelling, well, if not like a rose, like blood, sweat, loss, and brotherhood. 

their power comes from their coordination, individuality, and communal love. 

the troop is a supplemental playbook for riley rethal's galactic 2e. that's a really cool game and if you haven't looked at it you should (why are you looking at supplements before snagging a copy of the game?)

the troop is a little different than most other playbooks — rather than focusing on one character, you'll tell the story of a whole squad of soldiers, a brotherhood formed among those whose bodies are have been sacrificed for the greater good. the troop is inspired by the 501st legion, the rebel alliance's starfighter corps, the droid army of the separatists, and all the others who die so that the priests with the funny swords can pull off the incredible. it was mostly made while listening to a more civilized age, which is a podcast you should check out, and is dedicated to the brave boys of the domino squad. 

pour one out for the greats.
