Specialist

Specialists are horses with a particular skill set, and members of Vindicators, a Vagabond faction devoted to bringing order and equality to Hireath.
**THIS RANK IS NO LONGER IN USE! IT CANNOT BE HELD BY CHARACTERS**
The specialist rank has been merged with Soldier and Supporter ranks. "Specialist" as a term still exists among the Vindicators, but is not its own rank.
== Overview ==
Where the Soldiers are "jacks of all trades", the Specialists are masters of one. Specialists are so named because each has a very particular skill set. These skills range widely through a spectrum of combat and support roles, but are always something the Vindicators can put to use. 
The advice of Specialists is sought after while missions are in their planning stages, as the combined expertise of the Vindicators is the key ingredient to the high impact of their missions. Specialists are expected to be out in the field just as often as the Soldiers are, although often their roles are understandably more specific. 
Other than this (and the fact that Specialists are far outnumbered by their Soldier counterparts), there is not much of a practical difference in the day-to-lives of Specialists and Soldiers. While a Specialist's regular training may focus more narrowly than a Soldier's, all Vindicators contribute equally to the daily tasks around the Bunker, and share a familial bond. 
Hierarchy has no place among the Vindicators, so even though the Specialists are fewer in number and have a more specific skill set, they are in no way superior to the Soldiers. 
=== Choosing a Specialty ===
