Saint Anuman is an officer and a hero of the Karman army. He comes on foot and aboard his armored fighting vehicle Jindo-Un. As a soldier, Saint Anuman can be played leading any type 1 unit. Aboard his flying vehicle, he is a unit of his own. Saint Anuman is the best officer of the Karman army and a fearsome armored fighting vehicle hunter. This heroic pilot can override the controls of enemy vehicles with his nova jammers!

A new protagonist in the war stepped into the light when Operation: Elysée began: MedTec is originally a U.N. interstellar company and a subsidiary of ONI Technologies.

This company sells its cutting edge medical services to all sides involved. Everything that can preserve the existence of a fighter is available: Therian nanotechnology, experimental Red Blok cloning treatment, Karman relaxation techniques, etc. All it takes is payment, with money for those who know of the concept, more often in resources of all sorts.

MedTec is not a neutral power and no one will hesitate to shoot at a medical container being used by the enemy. The nurses and doctors working for this company are greatly rewarded for the risks they take.

General staffs on every side can only speculate when they discuss the deals they suspect MedTec has sealed with their enemies. The U.N.A. and the Karmans have an immediate interest: ONI Tech has access to collectivist cloning techniques and to some extent Therian technologies. Neither the Red Blok nor the Therians had any reason to accept a neutrality deal at first. It wouldn´t have been particularly favourable to them since it made their advantages available to their enemies.

The above information is from Rackham’s newsletter. Precise release dates for these units are still un-announced.

Rackham has released a free PDF preview of the upcoming Operation Frostbite campaign. From the preview announcement:

Élysée: an orb of ice swept by raging winds and covered in slow crawling glaciers. Its temperate zone is a tundra where even survival is an accomplishment. A few sheltered valleys, kept warm by hot springs or some other climatic quirk, have harbored the Karman settlers who came to study an indigenous species apparently related to theirs.

However, here where life seems barely possible, Red Blok mining excavations have spread like a plague, leaving the ice scarred and blackened with slag. Collectivist industry is in urgent need of elysium, an ore that can only be found on this planet, and the mines clawing at the crystal seams survive the best they can since the beginning of the war.

The planet’s ice fields lie in the shadow of the Therian doomsday devices, shut inside their gigantic fortresses and abandoned by their masters. To those turning their gaze to the poles, these buildings are a blank tombstone on which the stone carver has yet to chisel the name of the deceased. Yet everybody knows the name it will bear: Élysée.
