REF Rifts Earth 'Borg O.C.C.
Over the course of time, the REF has realized the usefulness of human cybernetic & bionic augementation. So, under their own free will, many wounded REF personnel signed up for a new chance to fight for the Robotech Forces. With the help of bionic technology from the AP, Tritonia, and later the Republic of Japan, the REF made it's own 'Borg Battlion, complete with transformable limbs exclusive to REF 'borgs, as well as cybernetic & bionic enhancements from other world powers. REF 'Borgs are given the full education any normal member of the REF gets, and are not prejudiced in anyway. However, considering their amazing toughness, the REF does not waste time teaching them how to pilot any mecha, or even the Cyclone.
'Borgs are not in anyway prejudiced in the REF, as a matter of fact, some men in the REF admire then, for foresaking there humanity in order to fight for the greater cause of the Robotech Forces.
Attribute Requirements: None, except being willing to foresake there lives as human and undergo bionic conversion.
