Massassi Warriors
Named after the decendants
of Naga Sadow's Sith followers, the Massassi order is composed of hand-picked
members of the soldiers serving in the army of Quersin Jax. Picked
their combat prowess, those desiring entrance into this sect are tested
for one other attribute: their sensitivity to the Force.
Like the Praetorian Guard,
those selected for this sect are sent to the training facilities on Massalu,
though their facilities are on the other side of the planet. Here,
they recieve enhanced combat training as well as indoctrination into rudementary
force powers, primarily on channeling their rage into a near frenzied state.
In this state, their attain a near berserk fury while maintaining strict
control. This contradiction is difficult to control during initial
stages, thus why they are issolated. Those that lack the requisite
control over these rages are not allowed to leave.
Once this training is complete,
Massassi are taughted more refined arts of stealth and subterfuge, making
them ideal spies and assassins.
Massassi warriors are given
light-weight but highly durable armor. While trained in marksmanship,
most prefer the use of melee weapons, and some particularly gifted ones
are even taught to use lightsabers, being gifted with red-bladed sabers
if they prove worthy.
Massassi warriors work in
small groups of four generally, with one unit leader. While quite
formidable individually, they are trained to work in groups. The
leader, usually armed with a lightsaber, also tends to be a grenader and
demolitions expert. The second senior is a light-artilery expert,
with the third serving as an a-gunner. The last is generally a point
man and/or scout. With the exception of the leader, who is
armed with a lightsaber, the rest are armed with guard-staffs or swords
treated in a similar manner.
Massassi armor is an intricate
affair. Like Sith troopers, Massassi warriors are specialized for
specific environments (though adaptability is one of their traits, meaning
they could easily adjust to another environment), thus, their armor possesses
similar features of environmental adaptability. In addition, it also
it also possesses stealth units, allowing the armor to function in a cameleon-like
manner, though only for short periods of time, as this drains the internal
batteries more quickly. All are also coated in a stygian-polymer
substance that baffled sensor readings, similar to that of the stealth-troopers.
