Twilight 2000 Wiki

Welcome to Twilight 2000 Wiki
The wiki about the games that make up the Twilight:2000 universe that anyone can edit.

Twilight:2000 is a role-playing game set in the aftermath of World War III (the "Twilight War"). The premise for the first and second editions of the game is that the United States/NATO and the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact have fought a limited nuclear war with all its consequences. Characters in the game are survivors of the war.

The new version of the game Twilight:2013 by 93 Game Studio updates the game rules and background story. The core rule book has hit the streets and several supplements are available around the net.

Featured Article

The Special Air Service is a British Army special forces unit, made up of three regiments: 21 Regiment SAS (Artists), 22 Regiment SAS and 23 Regiment SAS. 22 SAS is part of the regular army, while 21 SAS & 23 SAS are territorial army units. There is also a fictional and non-canon 27 Regiment SAS detailed elsewhere on this wiki.

Each Regiment comprises a number of "Sabre" squadrons with some supporting functions being undertaken within 22 SAS. 'Sabre' Squadrons are so called to distinguish the operational squadrons from administrative or HQ squadrons. 21 SAS and 23 SAS have three Sabre squadrons each, while 22 SAS has four.

Organisation

'Sabre' Squadrons in 22 SAS are organised as four specialised Troops, although personnel are broadly skilled in all areas. 21 and 23 SAS do not distinguish between troops.

Air Troop

Air Troop personnel specialise in airborne insertion from fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. Personnel are trained in three principal forms of parachute infiltration; Basic static line, High Altitude, Low Opening (HALO) and High Altitude, High Opening (HAHO).

Boat Troop

Boat Troop personnel specialise in water-borne insertion techniques. Personnel are trained in diving using Open and Closed Circuit breathing systems, sub-surface navigation skills, approaching the shore or vessels underway and the delivery of maritime demolition charges. Much of this training is undertaken with the Special Boat Service.

One of the main forms of transportation is the Klepper canoe. Other transportation methods include the Gemini inflatable, used primarily for sending small groups of soldiers onto a shore undetected, and the fibreglass hulled Rigid Raiders - fast patrol boats which are larger and can carry more personnel or cargo ashore. Entry to the water is also achieved from rotary wing aircraft and by parachute drop. In case of the former, the helicopter hovers around 50 feet (15 m) above the water and personnel simply jump out. Airborne entry to the water carries a significant risk to equipment with weapons and other equipment sealed using a dry bag.
