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 raids on other galactic civilizations, preferentially targeting isolated colonies in order to capture additional slaves. Most other civilizations are unaware of the 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.
