Fiction:United Persan Descendants/Terran Armed Service

"I am afraid, but I must not let my fear rule me. To be ruled by fear is die a little on the inside. To die inside will not only bring death to me, but also to my comrades. I will face my fear and rip its source asunder. REPENT MOTHERFUCKERS!!"

- Persan Soldiers Mantra

Training
UPD military is training begins at an early age. By the time a citizen as come of age they are put into military training as part of their general education. It is during this time they are put through a number of tests and exercises to determine their aptitude for certain military fields and are slowly worked into said field with their skills being fostered in that area. However the UPD makes sure not to neglect skills that are not part of their decided military role so has to create as well rounded solider as possible. Things all soldiers are trained in are things such as marksmanship, hand to hand combat, strategy, wilderness survival in multiple environments, field medicine, equipment maintaining and repair, etc.

Considered one of the toughest forms of military training in the UAE it ensures the UPD has an army of highly trained, well rounded soldiers, and a dedicate force of citizens willing and capable of defending themselves from invading forces. They are further augmented with genetic and cybernetic upgrades that gives their bodies a form of auto-repair, bones snap back together and wounds regenerate. It allows gives them higher wound and trauma tolerance.

Intensive mental conditioning is also utilized to create soldiers that are extremely difficult to demoralize or give into questioning and torture from their enemies. The end result has been noted to be soldiers that enter a battle trance when confronted with demoralizing situations or experiencing intense pain. This also results in highly ruthless soldiers that are noted for having little to no mercy for foes that are unwilling to show them mercy as well.

Augments

 * Polymer Skin - Polymers weaved into the skin increasing it's strength and flexibility.
 * Muscle Boosters - Increases muscle density and power, as well as the number of fast and slow twitch nerve fibers. This gives them better reflexes, increased endurance, and makes then much stronger.
 * Skeletal Engineering - Weaves nanobot wires into the skeleton increasing it's strength. These wires can also repair damaged bones.
 * Power Implants - Further cybernetic implants that fuse to both the skeleton and muscles giving Persan soldiers better strength and speed.
 * Smart Blood - Nanobots in the blood stream that repair and help damaged tissues regenerate.
 * Strength Boosters - Genetic upgrades that further increase a soldier's strength.
 * Booster Serum - A non-addictive serum that triggers chemical reactions in the body boosting speed, natural regeneration, and strength.
 * Sensory Implants - Cybernetic implants that boost the senses. Also allow the soldiers to call up a targeting reticle in their vision, gives them a zoom function, night vision, and sensory heads ups on incoming targets.
 * Neuro Implants - These are implants put directly into the brain that allow the users to control their neural functions such as pain sensitivity, adrenaline levels, etc. It also allows them to enter a state of hibernation if the situation calls for it.

Tactics
Generally the UPD uses well rounded units in both defensive and offensive abilities. Though generally boosting a smaller force they make up for this by having their soldiers well trained and well equipped to take on the enemy and come out victorious. Troops are given a wde variety of genetic and cybernetic aguments as well as adative, powered armor to boost their capabilities well beyong normal. Highly flexible and adaptable they prefer to outmaneuver their foes instead of just charging in. Their usual fighting strategy is often referred to as bushwacking and involves attacking from the rear and other weak points, maneuvering out of direct engagement, keeping out of sight to catch their foes off guard, and using decoys. They are perfectly capable at direct, head on conflict, but usually use a head on attacking force to divert the enemies attention from the real attack coming in.

The UPD makes heavy use aircraft as well which they use to seize control of air space and then repeatedly devastated their enemies fom above. They also make noticeable use of water based craft allowing them to more effectively conquer and control water ways, coasts, and regions of open ocean. Troops and Synth-Beasts are generally used to harass the enemy to weaken and cripple the enemy before Mechs are sent in with tanks and artillery backing them up to crush the enemy utterly.

The UPD tends to slash enemy supply lines as their highly self-sufficient forces can go for far longer without supplies meaning they will also deploy attrition warfare if they find it would bring greater benefit. The UPD will also focus on taking out the enemy's command structure and that means any form of command whether they be military officers, logistics officers, or politicians. While the UPD does have a series of rules they fallow in combat they are often seen a viciously pragmatic and even ruthless at times with a blood lust and love of slaughtering their foes that can disturb many.

Divisions

 * Fiction:United Persan Descendants/Army/Divisions

Battle Preperation
When preparing to go into battle their is very little fanfare if any at all. Instead Persan battle preparations are designed to serve a purely practical purpose, nothing more nothing less. Soldiers are required to run diagnostics and clean their equipment as well as run an inventory of equipment check to make sure that they are properly prepared and that everything is in perfect working order. Gear and machines are oiled, refueled, and needed repairs are made to make sure that everything runs at peak operating capacity. Speeches by those in charge are rarely made though the Persan Solider's mantra is frequently chanted as a unit before entering into the field of battle where soldier are trained be as quiet as possible.

In Victory
When victorious the Persan quickly move to secure the area and round up the survivors to be taken as prisoners for hostage exchange. After that all soldiers are sent to get a medical check up and the dead are tallied and identified. Once that is done then the soldiers are allowed to harvest trophies, equipment, and meat from the dead. Often times the bodies of slayen commanders will impaled on stakes or hung from vehicles as a declaration of victory. Afterwards a silent meal will be had feasting on the meat of their fallen foes and comrades. Often times a songstress or songster will be hired to sing music that is composed of sad song slowly building into more upbeat melodies representing that they are mourning their dead comrades, but slowly cutting them loose and looking to the future.

In Defeat
When defeated the Persan will retreat quickly and as organized as possible in order to minimize the losses they have already suffered, while continuing to lay down fire. If they can they will take prisoners, but if not then they will ruthlessly destroy any enemies that present a threat. Once they are safe all soldiers will be sent to seek medical attention, a personal count will be made, equipment and inventory will be checked and repaired or restocked, and the soldiers fed. Once again a songster or songstress maybe hired to seek fearsome, vengeful songs to remind the soldiers of their lose and how they must pay back their enemies ten fold for this affront.

Promotion and Demotion
The Persan promote soldiers based purely on their competence in the field and demoted them based on incompetence. In general soldiers will remain in their position until either the next higher either dies, gets promoted, or gets demoted. When either one of these happens those under the one who originally occupied the position with the best record will be given the position. When a promotion is given then the one given the promotion is brought before a crowd where their old rank arm band is removed and burn before they are given a brand new one showing their new, higher rank. When demotions are much the same, but done privately and with no ceremonial burning, rather the old arm band is simply shredded.

Trophies and Markings
Due to the fact that Persan soldiers are not supposed to show any part their flesh when on active duty they tend to personalize their armor rather than using tattoos or scars on their own flesh to show of their battle record. As a matter of fact returning from battle relatively unscathed is seen as good omen. All Persan warrior paint twisted, disturbing faces on the visors of their helmets, frequently being faces of the rather demented stuff animals they were give as children. They also collect trophies from those they have slayen in battle. Often times these are the skins, bones, skulls, shrunken heads, etc of noteworthy foes which they wear on their armor.

Commander Troop Relations
UPD commanders fallow what would be considered a firm, but fair policy. Persan commanders tend to keep a certain level of distance and professionalism with their underlings. Still they most care very much for those under their command, but will not let that keep them from dolling out the appropriate punishment should one be needed. Insubordination is to never be tolerate no matter the circumstances and commanders are expected to act accordingly. Still most Persan troops do not mind as they know their commanders care fore them, but are expected to live up to a professional standard and tend to show that they care through actions rather than words.

Quotes From Others

"Their soldiers are like ash, so easily blown over and manipulated. If only they would stop being arrogant and realize our true intentions, then maybe we wouldn't need to continuously beat their heads in with our swords."

- General Golk

"Pffft. I'm still the greatest war machine ever devised."

- X-1

"The Persan are not like other warriors. Their power comes not from numbers or strength, but from a cunning fostered by generations of bloodshed and struggle. While certainly not an instrument designed for aggressive destruction like ours, theirs is more like a knife, inserted into the enemy's spine and crippling them before they become a threat."
