Though suits constructed of stealth-compatible materials provide little protection, many veteran Infiltrators claim the tactical advantages provided by being undetectable allow for just as much time on the field as heavy armor. The most recent iterations of infiltration suits allow the use of various cloak configurations, allowing Infiltrators to customize their camouflage's strength and power consumption based on their preferences and needs.
Designated marksmen and scouts quickly integrated the new tech into their armor and rapidly developed new battlefield strategies that only their active camouflage allowed them to carry out. The completion of Nanite Systems’ stealth technology in the mid-29th century had a profound effect on combat and from this technology, the Infiltrator was born. The fear they inspire, combined with their specialized recon and sniping roles, makes the Infiltrator a welcome addition to any empire’s ranks. Rumor of their presence has become synonymous with unease and paranoia, causing enemy soldiers to perceive even shadows in their peripheral vision as a threat. Originally a specialist in the assassination of high-profile political targets, the Infiltrator quickly found a home on the battlefield. Even though Rebirthing technology has nearly eliminated the concept of fear on Auraxis, the Infiltrator remains one of the few things soldiers still dread.
