Fiction:Aeba Shuka/Military

The military of the Blood Brotherhood focuses on might, lots of soldiers, and very powerful weapons. It is very highly organized, and uses several devastating weapons. The Brotherhood's might comes from extremely flexible weapons and strategies. They have weapons and troops for almost any occasion and situation, meaning they can adapt to multiple fighting circumstances in an instant. They have no qualms about using any form of weapon. Though they prefer open warfare, they're not above nuking a planet from orbit if it gives them a tactical advantage to do so. Bio and chemical weapons aren't above them at all, either.

Darkling Units
Some of the strongest of all races in the Brotherhood, most Darklings are little more than energy that has possessed either living beings or enough inanimate material to form a physical body.

 Darkling Convent = Darkling Sustainer = Darkling Animated = Darkling Possessed = Darkling Imitator 

Raptoranean Units
Since the Raptoraneans who would follow Solid and Glacier left, they primarily use either synths or mutated victims in battle. However, many still choose to fight on the battlefield, though they are much less hedonistic and more strategic about fighting, meaning many more survive in battle. This is good for their relatively small population.

 Kabalite =
 * Use - Basic Combat unit
 * Weapons - Crystal Splinter Rifle, various other weapons
 * Defenses - Battle armor

Kabalites are the basic Dark Raptoranean warriors of the Blood Brotherhood. Kabalites commonly subject themselves to self-inflicted wounds so as to focus their minds and bodies to the highest extent for war. The armor they wear is linked to their bodies by a symbiote whose tentacled interlock deep within the Kabalite's nerve bundles, sharpening his senses by subjecting him to constant pain.

Kabalites often come armed with a Crystal Splinter Rifle. Instead of firing drops of raw acidic biomass, the Crystal Rifle fires shards of cystalized neurotoxins that quickly shatter into thousands of microscopic, pain-inflicting splinters once the shard had penetrated an enemy's bloodstream. Kabalites carry a variety of other weapons, more designed for causing pain that can rarely be healed, rather then quick execution. Wyach =
 * Use - Basic Combat unit
 * Weapons - Taser, Venom Knife, Shardnet, Impaler
 * Defenses - Light battle armor

Wyaches are female, Dark Raptoranean melee combatants. They are exeptionally agile, and dart across the battlefield, slitting a throat here and carving out a heart there, all while evading enemy blows. As Kabalites frovide fire support, Wyaches run up close to the enemy and begin their dance of death.

Wyaches, or at least the majority of them, have themselves upgraded by Unitech scientists with special tubes than interlock with their blood vessels, and constantly pour combat drugs into them. These cause them to react even more quickly to movement, allowing them to predict where an enemy is about to strike, so to evade the blow. Wyaches only have a skin-tight suit for defense, with one side being armored and the other side revealing in a typical Raptoranean fashion. Wyaches will often tempt foes to strike at their bare flesh, only to quicly turn around and have the blade or bullet deflect on the armored side of the suit, much to their delight. They'll often finish this pirouette by slashing open the throat of their foe.

These deadly females often come in armed with a combination of a poisoned knive and a taser. The taser fires an web of green electricity at the foe, causing an paralyzing pain. After this, the Wyach dashes in and cuts her chosen with her poisoned knive, before moving on to the next target, letting the venom do it's slow and deadly work. Other Wyaches come in armed with a shardnet, a large net with barbed edges that entrap the enemy, and an impaler, a combat spear then used to deliver the killing blow. Cambion =
 * Use - Elite Combat unit, Terror troops
 * Weapons - Shardcarbine, Tormentor Halberd
 * Defenses - Battle armor

Cambions are an all-male group of warriors, revelling in the pain they cause above all else. As a group of Unitech kabalites and Wyaches goes on a raid to capture more victims for their masters' horrible experiments, Cambions instead go on a campaign of terror, flaying and crucifying targets, and savoring the pain of their victims slow death as well as the fear they cause. At times, Cambion will be send ahead of a main raiding force, and will act out their horrible deeds on their own, while broadcasting hideous messages and screams on the airwaves, and installing fear in the native population, and the future lab rats into paroxysms of terror.

Cambion come in with a tormentor halberd that is coated in a special type of toxin that slowly drives the enemy insane. Furthermore, they come in armed with a Shardcarbine, a more powerfull version of a Splinter Rifle that has slightly reduced range but higher power. Their armor is a reinforced version of Kabalite armor. While heavier, it also gives more protection, and has numerous hooks on with spoils of war can be put. Mohinah =
 * Use - Elite Combat unit, Assasination
 * Weapons - Whip-Blade, Agonizer Lash, Djin Knives
 * Defenses - Light battle armor

Mohinahs are those Wyaches that have so elite that they do not rely on combat drugs alone, but also on exeptional skill and agility. Such is their skill that they only wear the minimum of clothes possible, backflipping and sliding out of the way of their foes, fast like the wind that flows though their long whitish-purplish hair, as their bodies are upgraded with beauty-enhancements. Mohinahs commonly toy and tease with their foes before finishing them off with equal speed and sadism.

Mohinahs can come in armed with a whip-blade, a segmented blade that can expand into a barbed whip, or an agonizer lash, a lash that attaches itself to the nervous system, causing such immense pain that the victim cannot move at all. Most, however, prefer to carry traditional dual djin knives, blades of polished crystal with a scowling bestial face upon it's hilt. These blades drain the blood out of their victims with a slash, resulting in a quick, but painful death.

Not only trained in the art of elegant kills, Mohinahs are also trained in the art of stealth, darting from shadow to shadow and reducing the noise as they move. Incubus =
 * Use - Elite Combat unit, Bodyguards
 * Weapons - Shadow Spear, Agonizer Lash
 * Defenses - Heavy battle armor

The most elite of the male Dark Raptoraneans, Incubi come in armed with the long-ranged Spear Rifle, which fires a spear-like shard of neurocrystal weapon at a target. If it does not hit the target's head, then it will stab into the victim and inflict further pain. The vainglorious Incubi prefer both to avoid such a target so small, and to incapitate their foe instead of killing it outright, so the foe would fall to their klaive instead. They also wield the same agonizer lash as an Succubus, with they use to kill of their foe in "glorious" melee combat after having incapacitated him. Incubi armor is thick yet sculpted in such a way to draw attention to the Incubus' muscle mass. Simmilar to how Wyaches leave one side of their suit unarmored, so will Incubi often leave one of their arms bare, their hardened cords of muscle for all to bask upon. Like Cambion, Incubi will decorate their armor with spoils of war. Succubus =
 * Use - Elite Combat unit, Long-range combat
 * Weapons - Spear Rifle, Agonizer Lash
 * Defenses - Light battle armor

As much as Mohinahs are elite Wyaches, so much are Succubi elite Mohinahs. Given more beauty-enhancements then even them, Succubi are the pinacle of physical perfection, though heir desires are as dark and twisted as any other Dark Raptoranean.

Vainglorious and prideful as they are, a Succubus shuns the idea of having her body despoiled by scars, and as such prefers to pick off most enemies from afar, only entering the fray to kill enemy leaders in a display of sheer skill and elegance. As such, Succubi are armed with the sniper-like rifle known as a Shadow Spear, a weapon reverse-engineered from darkling tech, that fires a beam of darklight that goes right through armor and flesh. For close combat, Succubi prefer the same Agonizer Lash as Mohinahs, but wield it with much more skill as their primary weapon, were most Mohinahs prefer to use dual Djin Knives. An agonizer lash in the hand of a Dark Raptoranean Succubus not only causes a neuroshock when it comes in contact with the skin of a foe, but also overload said foes' brain with feelings of lust, a thing they find highly amusing to watch.

 Knight = Knight Captain = Dragoon = Champion = Harrower = Stormknight = Bloodblade = Paladin = Juggernaut = Soul Splitter = Volverakai 

Ugandalorian Units
The Ugandalorians of the Blood Brotherhood combine the traits of all three splinter groups of their old organization, maintaining their military prowess and organization of the Ruin's Hand as well as their True Dead Watcher cousins' love for necromancy and cybernetics. Their versatility in such areas makes these very formidable and flexible warriors for their new masters.

Dragowar Units
The only Dragowar unit is the Berserker. Constantly pumped up on combat drugs, they are one of the most dangerous and awful units employed by the Brotherhood.

 Dragowar Berserker = 

Snagarthi Units
The fighting warriors of the Snagarthi Gorepack recruited by Anthrax focuses on one thing: merciless slaughter of the enemy forces. Armed with powerful weapons, they are used as shock troopers and attrition units.

 Goreboss = Disecter = Strangler = Mega = Torcher = Tek 

Bio-Zarbanian Units
The Bio-Zarbanians are made up of the units of four races: the Zarbanians, Duetzalanians, Zarcosians, and Ci-Hunters. They are silent, animalistic, and very hard to kill due to the pure Bio-Morphling virus inside them.

 Zarbanian = Duetzalanian = Zarcosian = Ci-Hunter 

Bio-Morphling Units
Bio-Morphlings are repulsive zombie-like creatures generated by a device called a marker. They are used very commonly by the forces of the Brotherhood, swarming the battlefield and killing or infecting every enemy in sight. Barely killable, and highly infectious, they are often the brunt of a Brotherhood assault.

 Infector = Injector = Drone = Spitter = Defiler = Tank = Spewer = Epic = Scout = Swarmer = Titan = Defender = Sentry = Charger = Revenger = Flyer = Slasher = Praetorian = Juggernaut = Queen = Empress </Tabber>

Shadow-Morphling Units
Shadow-Morphlings are Bio-Morphlings imbued with Darkling energy. They can phase out, possess both dead and living bodies, and regenrate at a high rate. They are some of the most repulsive beings in the whole Blood Brotherhood.

 Drone = Gunner = Warrior = Hunter = Puker = Revenger = Queen = Emperor </Tabber>

Changeling Units
The forces of the Corsairs of Corruption are powerful and skilled mercenaries and assassins. Often heavily involved in the Brotherhood's campaigns, they have won many battles for their allies.

 Drone = Infiltrator = Krehandka = Elite </Tabber>

Biskin Units
The Biskin are very rare and an endangered species, so they are not often involved in operations. Some are members of the Brotherhood army, however, using their power and fighting skills to give the Brotherhood an advantage in combat.

 Grunt = Brute = Elite </Tabber>

Nexus Head Units
The parasitic Nexus Heads are heavily used in the Blood Brotherhood's army as the vanguard of the assaults or as a biological weapon.

 Nexus Head = Nexus Host = Nexus King </Tabber>
