Hunters are more elite scouts and assassins of the Ascendancy often heading out in small parties on FTL capable drop craft but their elite nature attracts those with money to throw around. Many children of nobility with the power of nepotism at their back buy commissions into these forces allowing them to gain adventure and combat experience while staying a safe distance away from the real fight. Many Strike Team members and especially Commandos view the Hunters as little more than a gaggle of nepo-baby backpackers, but it is undeniable their presence on a battlefield can still do much to turn a tide with their marksmanship and expensive equipment.
