Creature:Pallan Warriors

Pallan Warriors
The Pallans are a warrior race and over the long years of fighting and warfare they have perfected thir warriors. Unlike most other races where being a warrior/soldier is a job for the Pallans it is a way of life, and also unlike other races their Military has quite a simple layout with only three types of warriors: Hunters, Seekers and Executor.


 * Executor - Executors carry alos of equipment and weaponry, with improved armour and a variety of heavy weapons that can be just as effective as a group of tanks. Unlike the other warriors who rely on stealth executors will attack and don't care if the enemy knows it or not.


 * Seekers - Seekers fill out the role of assassin and specialist troops, they appear from nowhere, destroy the target and disappear like a shadow leaving the enemy confused and disorgainised. These Pallans are usually known as "death shadows" or "unknown hunters" to the enemy.


 * Hunters - The most common of the three warrior varients and can fill out a variety of roles and carry alot of equipment. Hunters form the backbone of any Pallan Warhost and mostly operate in squads, that are smaller than executor squads but larger than seeker squads.

The three warrior varients work in conjunction to complete and task set them and have proven time and time again, to be very effective.

Code of Honour
Pallan warriors follow a strict code of honour in battle, however it isn't what you might think...


 * 1) There is no room for cowards in the Pallan Empire.
 * 2) Take a trophy (E.g. head, right hand) from the strongest oppnents.
 * 3) Honour you comrades, kill them if they flee.
 * 4) Respect you leaders, for they are wise.
 * 5) Remember your duty.
 * 6) The enemy will show no mercy, show them none ever.
 * 7) You will not always see the truth.
 * 8) Death in combat is the greatest honour of all.

To break the code would mean a great loss of honour, death or banishment depending on what you did wrong. However, warriors that live up to the code would find themselves respected and honoured by others. number 8 is perhaps the strangest, All pallan warriors want to die in combat to earn "the greatest honour", some warriors who have become too old to achieve this often go on a suicede mission to achieve it.

Path of a warrior
Almost every Pallan is a warrior, each is created in DNA contractors and made from the DNA of a male and a female. When the youngling reaches the age of 5 they begin warrior training and become an Acolyte, they then train for another 10 years and after Trail of Combat they become a offical Warrior. The warrior may choose to become a Hunter, Seeker or an Executor. After that they climb the ranks until they reach the rank of Veteran and they do Trail of the mind and then continue to climb the ranks until they reach Commander and they do another Trail, Trail of Death. The Final rank, High Commander can only be achived by completing the final trial, Trail of The Ancients. All of these trials are extremely dangerous and many have died trying to complete them. After 10 years as a High commander they may choose to retire, other than that death is the only way out of the Pallan Military.

Ranks
* Acolyte- A trainee/cadet, they only fight under extreme circumstances. * Brother/Sister- They take up the vast majority of the Pallan Military, each one is a elite warrior caplable of taking down a foe that is much stronger and bigger. * Leader- A Sargeant of The Pallan Military, they lead squads of the same type of warrior of them. (a Leader-hunter would only lead a squad of hunters) * Great Warrior- Stronger then most because of the life of warfare. * Veteran- These warriors have seen many battles and fought many foes, they often operate in specialist squads. * Leader Veteran- Leaders of the veteran squads. * Lessar Commander- They often relay the high commander's orders to the troops, although they do often fight with a veteran squad. * High Commander- The supreme commander of a Pallan army, very few ever reach this position, High commanders march into battle with a squad of handpicked veterans who are usually friends or other warriors with similair DNA.

Military structure

 * Squads - the smallest of all groups, each squad will be set a task to complete and once it has completed it they recicve another until the battle is won. Hunter squad:4-12 Pallans, Executor squad:5-14 Pallans, Seeker squad:3-10 Pallans.
 * Battle group - 3 hunter squads, 2 executor squads, 1-2 Seeker squads.
 * Combat force - 2 battle groups, with an extra hunter and seeker squad.
 * Warhost - 2 Combat forces and a Battle group.
 * Legion - 4 warhosts and 3 Coimbat forces.
 * Great legion - 2 legions, 2 warhosts and a Battle group.

The Pallans prefere to use a few elite warriors than a large overwelming force, "Quality over Quantity". before a battle the warriors will be given specific training to there own task and a detailed brief. Pallans are excellent planners and will have planned out each attack before it begins. the size of an army has little meaning to them, only the tactics and the power of their warriors matters and each Pallan group is capible of taking out an enemy force mnay times their own numbers.

Equipment and weapons
Each pallan warrior is well equipped for whatever task he or she is set, and due to their size and strength can carry alot of weapons and equipment into the battle. Executors carry alot more than the other warriors and although this has many advantages it also makes them alot slower, seekers carry alot less than hunters or executors and this makes them very nible and agile. Unlike other races the Pallans use only a small number of vechiles and this makes them a very flexible army and hard to hit, mostly spaceships will be in orbit ready to attack with bombs and lasers in required.
