Imperial Hoplites is an addon for Vanilla Factions Expanded - Pirates which allows the Empire from the Royalty DLC to utilize warcaskets.
Hoplites
Imperial forces now utilize a new warcasket fighter unit. High on juice, entombed in an advanced warcasket and equipped with superheavy charge weapons, these units are more than capable with taking on heavy infantry and even urbworld combat vehicles.
For balance reasons, each raid group can only have one hoplite present.
With Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire, you also get two new permits to call down hoplites to support you in combat.
Q&A
Does this mod work with Combat Extended?
Yes! The mod is patched on my end, make sure you load this mod *after* Combat Extended.
I don't like the single per raid group cap on hoplites, can you remove it?
I have a sub-mod that removes this cap here:

Didn't this already exist?
Yes! Previously, I had mod called 'Hoplites and Hirelings' which added not only the hoplites from this mod but also a variety of tradesmen you could hire for silver. The latter part of that mod was significantly improved and merged into my faction mod Machinists - A Faction Expansion.
Likewise, this is the hoplites part of that mod with some polish and many fixes. The hoplite permits no longer lock you out of the rest of the trooper tree, etc.
