Fiction:RALA/Military

The RALA was created on the basis that the physically adept Revark protect the physcially-inept Aepox therefore giving birth to the military of the RALA, protecting the colonies in RALA controlled space and defeating those who threaten them. They boast multiple divisions and have 3 races serving them.

Races
Revark: Being the founding member of the military, the Revark lead the fleets belonging to the RALA as well as leading infantry forces during ground conflicts. Their combat prowess is the reason they were chosen by the Aepox to be their protectors in the formation of the alliance as no other race exceeded the performance of the Revark in combat.

Utilizing high-tier weaponry and intimidation tactics, they are feared by those who have fought them in battle and respected rivals by those who have survived such encounters.

They are heavily muscled, being able to crush a skull of an Aepox within seconds and crush small animals with a single stomp. For this reason, they equip Combat Harnesses which are optimized for strength and speed thanks to a very powerful combat harness.

Chirpotaur: These agile creatures were initially hostile to the Revark's offering of joining the military but eventually warmed up to military service after a year or so. Their structure allows them to reach places the Revark or the Hanaeris can't making exemplary scouts who can also be used to examine terrain.

However due to such agility, they possessed a weak mentality and could take very little damage before dying, with one dying at the hands of a single punch however this could be debated due the the fact the said incident was an altercation between a Revark and a Chirpotaur.

As a result, on both wrists they wear energy gauntlets which can be activated at will, emitting a shield made from energy which deflects bullets or absorbs plasma fire but it can only take so much damage before having to deactivate.

Hanaeris: These brutes are titanic in size and were part of the UPLIFT program conducted by SpecOps commander Rhul Kestarkumak in order to bring more powerful races into the military. Such size has provoked fear into many of the enemies that have seen a Hanaeris, with several committing suicide at the sight of one.

However their huge frame means that they can only be deployed via drop pods which can also be used as weapons due to the fact they would be too heavy for a ship and they could injure themselves from the fall which earns them the shock trooper role for the military.

They are heavily armoured, more so than Revark due to their size, with multiple armour types being developed for their role, which includes frontal assaults, mortar fire and even infiltration behind enemy lines even with their size.

Divisions
SpecOps: Established by Thatus Kestarkumak, father of current commander Rhul Kestarkumak, RALA military SpecOps was originally a Revark exclusive unit but began deploying Chirpataurs and Hanaeris following the latters induction into the RALA.

Notable for their deployment to high-fatality warzones, the SpecOps are a highly respected unit and have near zero-percent casualties per mission, an unusual trait for such a unit.

Equipped better than their standard counterparts, they have exclusive access to high-tier equipment and cloaking as a result of their nature. Their uniforms and armour bear a SpecOps logo with the motto: "We like to ruin your day"

The Guard: After several unsuccessful assassination attempts on ambassadors, this particular unit available only to Revark who have served prior to joining the guard.

Equipped with ornamental armour tweaked to fit modern technology, the guards are trained to protect all high ranking politicians within the RALA. They only have access to a sidearm placing them below the Chirpatour in terms of equipment access however higher ranking guards are allowed to wield personal weapons.

They are led by a ex-Commander known as Vatum Pak who served in SpecOps and lost an arm in a deployment during the Chirpataur rebellions as result of a sniper shot which could have killed him had he not been aware of his surroundings, nevertheless he was given a medal for his service and a new prosthetic arm to replace his lost arm.

Equipment
All personnel in the regular military and guard are given a EBP-CM42 sidearm which is to be holstered at all times and is the only weapon regular guard are allowed to use. SpecOps are given Nova pistols which are more powerful than the EBP series but are still experimental, meaning they are unfinished and are limited in numbers.

SpecOps also have access to hidden blades in their wrists in order to retain an element of surprise when pitted in hand-to-hand combat with other enemies, however the Hanaeris use a shield instead due to their massive size.

Vehicles are also heavily used by the RALA, with mobile bases and drop pod carriers only being some of their massive vehicle force. They have a huge fleet in the millions thanks to the scientists within the RALA as well as an armada of ground vehicles to support them.

Ranks
The RALA use a simple ranking system to determine how high up a soldier is in the caste.

Revark ranks: 1. Minor 2. Major 3. Ultra 4. SpecOps minor 5. SpecOps major 6. Heavy 6:1. Ranger 6:2. Stealth 7. Commander 8. General 9. Spec Ops Commander 10. RALA Military Leader

Chirpataur ranks: 1. Minor 2. Major 3. Ranger 3:1. Scout 3:2. Sniper 4. Champion 5. SpecOps Chirpataur

Hanaeris ranks: 1. Minor 2. Major 3. Captain 4. Stalker 4:1. Ranger 4:2. Heavy 5. Captain Major 6. SpecOps Hanaeris

Conflicts
Chirpataur Rebellions: Tired of their low ranking and frequent conflicting with other client races of the RALA, the Chirpataur began a brutal and bloody revolt which ended with the Revark fleets threatening to invade their homeworld Xero if they did not cease hostilities. The Chirpatau submitted and in return, they were given higher-tier equipment and better protection as well as better treatment from Revark.

Annexation of the Hanaeris: This virtually unknown conflict happened when the Hanaeris uplifted via the UPLIFT program came into contact with SpecOps ship Voyager MKVI which was shot down by planetary defences. SpecOps teams were deployed to suppress the threat and introduce their creation to the RALA which they promptly joined.
