Emperor's Fist

The Emperor's Fist is an elite unit of heavy infantry fielded by the Stahlheimian Empire. Armored head to toe in steel and picked from the most promising veterans the Empire has to offer, they are a force to be reckoned with in battle and are knwon for their staunch refusal to ever surrender. They have fought in most major engagements of the Empire, garnering a reputation for efficiency and fearlessness no matter the opponent.

The main purpose of the Emperor's Fist in battle is to break apart enemy formations with their charge. To achieve this they wield powerful zweihanders and are frequently conditioned to grant them great speed and impact even in heavy steel armor. They strike an enemy where they are strongest and weaken them for the following waves of infantry, and are generally the first into battle. They specialize in breaking apart pike formations with their weapons and making entire units of soldiers useless, occupying them long enough for the rest of the Imperial forces to cut them down.
