Fiction:Tenet/Military

Tenet civilization is known to be highly militarized. This is due to several factors.
 * Defense. Tenet slave species are estimated to outnumber the avorn population by a factor of eight. The need to prevent and protect against rebellion from its own slaves contributes to Tenet's heightened military readiness.
 * Offense. Tenet periodically launches small-scale slave raids on other galactic nation-states, preferentially targeting isolated colonies. Most other civilizations are unaware of Tenet's true nature, blaming these raids on simple pirate attacks.
 * Servitude. As a Criterion 4 nation-state, Tenet exists to serve Prime Criterion interests. These interests are often violent in nature. Tenet provides an elite military force that does not risk the Prime Criterion's own assets or secrecy.

Due to Tenet advancing along thaumaturgical rather than technological lines, its military is deceptively primitive in appearance. Simultaneously, it can be very difficult to determine the capability of a given Tenet unit.
