Not really.....Jove would never make infantry combat units.....their population is currently primarily in cryostasis and the ones that are awake are physically probably not able to engage in direct combat with other ground based units.....
Also given Jovian technological superiority they would never need to take the surface of planets as they have their own space and probably no interest in controlling our own.
If they did make ground based equipment it would be suits make for 5 foot tall soldiers, unless they too use our immortal cloning tehniques and use nanite bodies....
Primarily use laser weapons, with shields and armour functioning far beyond any of the known races ability to replicate.

It would be a Sentinel with Profile 0 Scan Precision 0 And dual wield Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle at once With a turret installation on their back like a turtle (of course it's railgun their AI OP yo)
And the GM's would laugh No wonder the Amarr lost
You take 200 Sub Capital Ships against a Titan and frigates with tech 10,000 years more advanced.....yeah you'd probably lose too...and at the time we were the most power military force in the cluster of the four empires.

Primarily use laser weapons, with shields and armour functioning far beyond any of the known races ability to replicate. Actually... GÇ£ThereGÇÖs something coming right towards me!GÇ¥ Thumgar screamed, putting the CLAW into full automatic and spraying rounds wildly in front of him. Vlad spanned his rifle left and right, desperately seeking a target but finding none. More machine gun bursts illuminated the cavern wall as the other soldiers shouted and fired their silenced weapons into the shadows. Just as Vlad took a breath to speak, he saw ThumgarGÇÖs CLAW inexplicably throw itself from his hands. The giant man appeared to freeze for a moment, then dropGÇögently, as if hands were guiding himGÇöface down onto the ground. Then Vlad felt itGÇöa draft of air on the back of his neck that shouldnGÇÖt have been thereGÇöand reacted solely on instinct. In one fluid motion, he thrust the rifle backwards as hard as he could, and felt the stock slam into a man. Ignoring the strange sounding grunt, Vlad whirled 180 degrees to his left, unsheathing the KriGÇÖTak in mid-spin with his right hand and exploding forward in a lunge. There was nothing in front of him that his eyes could see, but VladGÇÖs senses told him otherwise. His left forearm caught something heavy on its way up to block an invisible counterstrike, but his right handGÇöclenching the knife tightly and keeping the blade parallel to the groundGÇöcontinued unobstructed in a wide arc until it punctured something thick, right where a manGÇÖs rib cage would be. An ear-piercing howl filled the cavern as a Jovian soldier materialized at the hilt of the knife. Just as Vlad commanded his wrist to twist the blade, he felt something strike his lower back, and then all of the muscles in his body went numb. Panic overwhelmed him as he fell backwards, completely paralyzed. He did not feel himself hit the ground, but saw the silhouette of a second Jovian standing over him a moment later. Also Viola took a few hesitant steps forward. The Jovian was slender, and stood less than 180 centimeters tall. His entire body, save for his head and hands, was covered in an armored suit. She began to feel uncomfortable at the sight of those bottomless orbs staring through her. Granted, 5 ft is technically less than 180cm (it's actually 152cm), it seems to be odd wording if it was meant to portray the Jove as midgets. Personally, I think CCP has redacted the original lore entry on the Jove over the years.
Rodger, that really odd... I wouldn't have though the Jove would have had the capacity to field soldier......and how the hell does a hyper advanced soldier die to a knife of some sort.

And the Jove only lost 1/3 of the much smaller fleet they used to repel the Amarrians.
Hmm thats odd I never heard that we managed to inflict casualties on the Jove Fleet.
Do we know how large it was?

Do we know how large it was? It's only been mentioned that it was smaller, but not by how much (no actual numbers given) It seems like most of the losses on the Jove side were larger ships
Right ..... so the fleet could have had any number of vessels in it? That's interesting.....very interesting.
But we assume it is smaller no more than say 2 dozen ships because of insinuation that Jove Tech is so powerful

No, we are unfortunately not. The most significant increase in ship capability in the past 200 years has been the introduction of the capsuleer, with the second most significant arguably being Fullere-based technology (Tech 3) adapted from the sleepers, and third the Morphite-based (Tech 2) enhancements that began just under a decade ago. (T2 and T3 technology is obviously fairly new still) Even the now abundance of T2 vessels, and the increasing number of T3, the technology is still limited, and by all accounts STILL lacking in many ways compared to what the Jovians were capable of two centuries ago. read the post by the CPM in the topic called 'Bye Bye Jove'
IWS misspelt Vak' Atioth in his post..... he also grossly misrepresented the Amarrian numbers at the battle.
He isnt as lore savvy as Dagger Two is.

It also ironically features Jamyl Sarum as the primary character, for those of you who dont know, she is The Empress.
Its a fascinating look into what her life is like even if you cannot cite it IC, and proves in my eyes that the Empress despite the forces she battles every day is noble and always making the right decision to benefit her people.

I loved how it described her situation as the leader of the empire who released cloned mercenaries. It reminded me of Macbeth's wife before she went insane. I wonder how far ccp will take it.
The Empress is by far the best, and most interesting NPC in New Eden.
I certainly hope she reigns as long as possible.

I like when Heth is portrayed in the chronicle about the caldari prime event.
The empress seems interesting because she has a very serious side and then a side that shows she is a very young girl.
And the best bit is we dont really know which is he and which is not. Its very fuzzy as to which parts of her stem from her before becoming Empress, and which are products of becomming empress, and which are not even her at all.

The life of a merc is lonely enough. Why do you hang temptation over my head? Oh, empress... I wish to love you!
Templar One is not really something I would take too seriously, although it is canon, since Mordu mentions the Amarr are perhaps the most powerful force in New Eden, not only able to fend off 3 foreign Navies, but also appear to be besting them.
