Techie

 is a caster of the Marines.

Background
It costs 1750 Resources to train this inventor. The Marines are not completely without technological savvy. Once the necessary research is done at a Base, an Enlistee with potential may be trained there to become a Techie. Techie units are constantly improving old equipment and making new things to help the cause. The Techie is equipped with a freeze ray gun, but most of a Techie's time is spent building bombs, teleporters, and other such devices. Regular troops might make fun of the Techie, but when folks need a bomb in a hurry, they know who to call. Once the research is done at a Barracks, any Techie may build a Bio-Droid - but the process of building a Bio-Droid kills the Techie.
