505F-Parime NAF Mechanised Strike-Units

"The unusual pride and primary export of the Parime Naval Auxiliary-Forces were the Mechanised strike-units: Far from the usual mighty numbers that local and Union mechanised chassis were deployed in, these groups were small units (single digits at most) of mechs optimised for independant maneuver-warfare over conventional attritional warfare. The pilots of these groups were Lancers, or Lancer-equivalents, who were picked not only for their competance as pilots but for their abilities in waging asymmetrical, unorthodox hostilities independant of command-structures and logistical lines. By far one of the most controversial of Merican's ideas, but their effectiveness speaks for itself."

— Rosalina Toro - Reflections of Parime, Revised Edition.

"Admist countless gigapulses of news and combat footage of highly-trained, highly regimenteed professionals fighting the good fight in Parime and out, these misbegotten pilots drop into town like a pack of feral animals with a grudge against civilized space itself and flip the local paradigm over. Sure as sugar stirred up the admiralty when they heard what Merican was trying, but unfortunately for them the auxillaries are a professional force that get the job done, despite evidence to the contrary. Novikov and anyone he leases these groups off to have the good sense to throw these motley crews at problems where disciplined, by-the-book tactics aren't going to cut it, and where a complete disregard for anything resembling orthodox or fairness thrives... or at least can't make things worse."

— Vice-Admiral Mbabazi, circa 5014u
