Fiction:Edict of Harvur/Military (old)



The Edict's military force makes of most of the population, with each unit having their own purpose.

The ground soldiers are biological clones, based on the Kashuthil's well-armed biological clones, they are often referred to as "drones" due to their lack of identity. They make up most of the organization, and use equipment based on the galaxy's inexpensive and most common infantry weaponry.

Although DNA needs to be copied from other individuals, the genetic material collected can be modified—an advanced and complex method originating from the Kashuthil.

Spitters
Spitters are biological appendages integrated into the soldier as a ranged weapon. The pellets fired by these appendages are covered in poison and are formed from mineral salts and other natural materials, and are akin to musket balls.

Plasma Pulsers
Plasma Pulsers are any weapons that emit plasma. The plasma can burn up materials very easily.

High-frequency Blades
High-frequency blades, also known as vibroblades are wrist blades that vibrate at a high-frequency, allowing it to cut through almost anything.

There are also high-frequency claws, which is an alternative to vibroblades.

Gamma beams
Gamma beam weapons are used in larger units, who would have a more efficient power source to use beam weaponry.

Wooden spikes
Wooden spikes are much cheaper melee weapons, and can even be non-lethal. If the wooden material used is a natural conductor, then the wooden spikes can be turned into high-frequency weapons, however this idea has never came into fruition.

Sentries


Sentries are armed with an explosive gatling blaster, which is an autocannon capable of overwhelming enemy infantry. Their dense plasteel armor synergizes with a personal shield that can shrug off decent blasters.

Reavers


The Reavers are larger and tougher soldiers that lack the stealth and guile of their comrades, instead resorting to close combat. They are armed with plasma grenade launchers with energy bayonets modified to be like bladed knuckles and lightning strikers. While the Gunner Drones shoot from a distance, Reaver Drones take the hits, like the Gunner Drones, they each have a personal shield as well, adding more to their role as a tank, these impressive warriors make up the backbone of the ground military.

Crawlers


These walking fortresses are three legged tripods, powered by batteries at the back side. They bring devastation with their beam cannons on the side and smaller missiles on the bottom, they can strike fear into their enemies before taking a beating.

Navigators


Navigators live up to their name by piloting and managing space fliers, they wear an oddly shaped helmet on their head with their "goggle" sticking out, their hands are designed to be like that of a Kashuthil's to make pressing buttons and steering wheels more easier and comfortable.

Custodians


Custodian drones are architects and engineers that have two huge arms for carrying voluminous objects and work together to build constructs from small bunkers to prodigious skyscrapers, they have a head for heights and vigorous wings to fly high distances while carrying heavy materials. They built cities on Harvur during its colonization.

Travail drones are also used to keep a vigil around the planet, often watching for intruders.

Seekers


Seeker Drones are intelligence officers that lead ground incursions and report the battle's current status to their leader, because of their crucial role, they are outfitted with both decent blasters and powerful claws on their wrists.

Shock Seekers


Shock Drones are higher ranking elites that like the Seeker Drones, seek and report information, but are used for situations when a certain obstacle is difficult to deal with, a squad of the best shock drones are used as Zsark's personal guards. These elites are armed with powerful EMP launchers mounted on their shoulders, along with having additional lightning strikes attached to the top of their claws.

Enforcers


Combat Drones are used to guard anything important and dealing with situations that would render the reaver drone obsolete, their cranium is able to lift up and down, allowing them to show emotion and expression, albeit faintly. They are armed with an "eye" on their visor that fires a type of beam, and sharp claws that are capable of tearing through infantry armor.

Plexdrones


Manned by navigators serving in ground combat, it lacks a visible viewport, and instead the pilot sees via a screen inside that displays a view of the environment around them. On the top are short but high-velocity cannons that work more efficiently than human tanks, and on top of the cannons are flak guns meant to deal with aerial craft.

Incursor Mech


Used during major ground incursions, this experimental mecha is a humanoid assault bot based on another mech, they do not appear to have any weapons, and rely heavily on brute force. What they lack in firepower, they make up for in immense durability and large size. Because the poor pathfinding of a regular AI would make it inefficient, they are controlled by a few pilot drones inside the front of the head. During a major assault, they are deployed in small packs to devastate any resistance.
