Cosmonaut

The Soviet combat Cosmonaut was a special class of infantry during the events of the Psychic Dominator Disaster. These troops are equipped and trained to fight in space, specifically the Moon, and may only be deployed at extraterrestrial Soviet military bases by a Commander with proper cosmonautic training.

Description
Soviet Cosmonauts are equipped with all the necessary life support equipments and a jet pack not unlike those used by Allied Rocketeers, allowing them to travel very quickly around the battlefield. They wield a high-intensity laser rifle in each hand, making them very effective against other cosmonauts and light vehicles, as well as (in groups of five or more) armored tanks, aircrafts and structures. They are vulnerable to any anti-aircraft weaponry. A cosmonaut costs 600 credits to train.

Role in the Soviet Campaign
During Operation To the Moon, Cosmonauts were available to be trained at the Soviet Barracks (and is the only type of infantry the commander can train aside from desolators). Yuri fielded his own corp of Cosmonauts to defend his Lunar HQ against the Soviet offensive. The Soviet cosmonauts were very effective in eliminating Yuri's forces due to their ability to hover quickly over the rough lunar terrain.
