The military forces of the UPD are rather unconventional to say the least with all soldiers being mech pilots controlling mechs supported by drone infantry and pilot transport gunships. The mechs of the UPD are balanced machines built with pilot survivability and are known for being highly customizable. Pilots have a large catalog of weapons and ability programs to select from to built their mech to their specifications and preferred fighting style. As a result no persan mech is ever the same and pilots tend to group themselves into fireteams based on personal synergy with commanding officers staying in the back ground and coordinating multiple teams over missions. All persan mechs are controlled by persa meaning that all wield power over an element of liminal energy.
In terms of general strategy though the Persan combat philosophy of rapid maneuverability and operational flexibility. With mechs able to fulfill a vast number of different roles, drone support, and orbital strikes complimenting each other to employ shock and disruption to decapitate the enemy's decision making capabilities in maneuver warfare. To this end the UPD eschews vast numbers and attrition in favor of smaller, more tightly knit, better equipped and trained forces with strong logistical independence and a highly decentralized command structure with lower level officers given great flexibility in accomplishing the end goals of the higher ranking officers grand strategies.
Thanks to having very limited numbers to work are forced to rely heavily upon drones to augment their lack of man power. While most roles in the military could be replaced by drones and AI the persan are a warrior people at heart and thus many still insist on serving directly on the battlefield. Commanders also recognize the value in citizens being able to see men and women fighting and dying for them as a necessary component for maintaining public for the war effort, as well as the general creativity an organic mind can apply to tasks a machine one generally cannot. So while most jobs requiring a high degree of skill as overseen by organic entities, most menial tasks are performed by drones.

- - A Persan Drone
The Persan use a wide variety of drones to help support and back up their mechs. These drones resemble canine or feline-like biomechanical creatures with progressive blades on their tails and mounts for various different types of guns upon their back. these weapons are usually the standard kinetic pulse weapons.
Pulse Submachine Gun
Navigators are the scouts of the persan drone legions, searching out enemies a relaying as much information as they can back to the main force. However, Navigators also serve to harass and make quick hit and fade strikes against enemies to temporarily ware them out. They also demonstrate a high degree of skill when it comes to infiltrating and hacking of information, using viral strains of memetic logic to hack into and override both mechanical and biological information systems.
Pulse Assault Rifle<br Skirmishers are the primary invaders of the UPD drone forces. While fast and agile they are surprisingly well armored, able to take an impressive amount of punishment. They are armed with pulse based assault rifles making them best at close quarters combat especially in urban environments. Because of this Skirmishers are given a higher enemy acquisition and combatant distinction processing abilities to avoid civilian causalities.

“It's exhilarating having this much raw power at your finger tips. When I'm in my Immortal suddenly I can run faster, jump higher, go farther, punch harder, and tank shots no one should able to. It's a feeling of being unstoppable and it's damn near addicting.”

Weapons
Pulse
Pulse weapons are the most common form of weapon deployed by the United Persan Descendants and comes in two types of standard pulses and pulse beams. The name pulse weapon comes from the design of rails that fire the projectiles from the weapon. The rails on pulse weapons charge with short pulses of electromagnetic energy for precisely controlled firing of the weapons. Standard pulse weapons fire caseless kinetic ammunition while pulse beams fire streams of charge particles or anti-particles.
Phase
Phase weapons are solely composed of phase missiles and perhaps some of the most enigmatic weapons of the UPD being considered something of a signature of theirs. Phase Missiles are missiles that rely on onboard sensors to detect when they are coming upon shielding, once shields are detected the missiles drops out of phase with normal reality until it has bypassed the shields at which point it returns to realspace. Phase Missiles come in standard realspace varieties and hyperspacial cruise missiles.
Wave
Wave weapons are very similar to pulse weapons being a form of railgun, but operate somewhat differently. Instead of being charged by pulses of electromagnetic energy wave weapon's rails are charged by by a continuous wave of electromagnetism. These guns are constantly on from the movement they are turned on making them too dangerous to be used on anything other then a ship. These weapons are burst fed masses of fusion plasma to be fired as projectiles against enemies.
