The Auxilia form the bulk of the Solar Auxilia forces, representing large platoons of highly disciplined, standard infantry troops. Equipped with lasrifles, these units provide the foundational long-range firepower necessary to suppress enemy advances and clear objectives. They are crucial for creating a robust battle line, using their large unit sizes to absorb enemy fire and ensure battlefield control for your more specialized units. Effective use of Auxilia involves leveraging their number and range to pin down the opponent while other elements maneuver for the decisive strike.
