Outrider

Outriders

Outriders are a very specialized kind of cavalry of the Empire that are armed with repeater handguns.

Outriders are veterans of the Pistolier cavalry, in battle either leading a unit of Pistoliers or forming their own Outrider units.

They often act as instructors for the younger Pistoliers. ^[2a]

The role of Outrider units on the battlefield is to accompany the artillery and war machines of the College of Engineers and protect them from surprise attacks.

Weapons and Equipment

Some retain the black and silver of the Pistolkorps but others wear the colours of their province. ^[2a]
