Break it down! It's Hammertime!
—Unofficial motto of Hammer division

Hammer Division, also known as Elitez Squad, was an elite infantry corp of the Srav Federation military during the Cruentusian War. It was first introduced towards the end of the second year of the war, as an answer to the SpecOps teams of the Necasian Military, and first tasted major action at Ahara. Equipped with better training and equipment than regular Srav infantry, Hammer troops were nonetheless generally inferior to their Necasian counterparts, although they were more versatile and easier to train and replace. Nominally commanded by Nataska Vergulva, the foremost Srav hero, Hammer Division would see much action throughout the war following its deployment.

Training and equipment[]

Hammer equipment was generally of a much higher quality than that enjoyed by regular Srav troops. Hammer soldiers used either upgraded KAM-28 assault rifles or KAM-44 advanced tactical rifles, wore advanced body armor capable of absorbing lesser rounds and light blade attacks, and tactical heads-up displays built into their helmets. Many Srav anti-armor troops, nominally equipped with SLA-5G Takta missile launchers were also transferred into Hammer Division. Hammer troops were all given authority to call in airstrikes with the laser designators built into their rifles. Training for Hammer troops was very intense, with courses designed by Vergulva herself, and mortality rates were much higher than standard Srav training. Nonetheless, most military analysts of the time agreed that Hammer soldiers were some of the most proficient of their kind.
