Robotic Reptilian Corps

The Robotic Reptilian Corps, also known as the R.R.C or R.R. Corps, is a specialized fighting force within the U.I.F. It is composed of, as its name implies, robotic reptilians. Robotic reptilian humanoids, known as Rotilians. Designed for war, they were created to supplement the U.I.F’s forces, aiding regular “biological forces” in dealing with more dangerous tasks, such as fighting in more hazardous areas, or going into planets with dangerous environments or unbreathable air.

## Description

### Mission and tasks

The R.R corps is a specialized branch composed of non-biological beings. The branch’s mission is to “Aid and supplement the regular forces in complex or difficult situations, or at times where it would be impractical to send regular biological beings into battle, as well as to help provide a quicker source of combatants in the scenario of a major mobilization of the alliance military.”

It operates and an auxiliary force, supplementing, as stated, the regular forces when and where needed. Many times, they tend to fight battles on their own, without help from regular units. They also act as a type of peacekeeping force, although this isn’t stated in their charter.

Because the alliance’s military forces aren’t permanent (excluding the independent branch’s, along with one branch and two s.c’s), they are usually used as a first source of troops, helping stall the enemy’s advance and buying time for the main forces to mobilize. They are also used when riots break out or during times of social unrest,

They are not the cheapest to build, but they are cheap to maintain. Not only are they cheap and easy to maintain, but they have infiltrate lifespans, meaning they don’t have to be replaced (unless they were killed/destroyed). They don’t have to worry about issues such as health and fitness or training.

#### Equipment

The amount of equipment the use is less compared to the other branches. They don’t use uniforms, body armor or gas mask. They are given a backpack and a bandolier to help store any necessary items. Items they are equipped with include their primary, secondary and tertiary arms, ammunition, explosives, radio, rations, first aid and that’s pretty much it.

First aid consist of tools that are meant to help units repair one another. In cold conditions, they are often issues thick black jackets. In warmer climates, they are issues large brimmed hats, along with sun glasses.

## Divisions

The branch is divided into several sections, called detachments. These detachments tend to be straightforward when it comes to their task, although that doesn’t mean they aren’t specific.

### Signaling and Performance Detachment

The Signaling and Performance Detachment, also known as the S.P.D is subdivided into its own sections. They are responsible for aiding the unit on the battle by helping other members locate their unit, as well as making announcements using various means, notably through music. On the battlefield, they also help provide a morale boost, primarily by performing for their comrades. When off the battlefield, they tend to perform at ceremonial functions.

## Ranks

The R.R.C maintain their own set of ranks different form that of the main forces. They ranking system used for the, is the simplest, more straightforward system used in the entire alliance.

Officers
 Abbreviation

Officers are members of the branch tasked with leading their comrades into battle, They have a high degree of authority within their branch. Although they lead their own units, they are subordinate to human officers, usually high ranking officers, notably O-15 through O-1 ranks, along with the special ranks.

Officers are usually appointed, with Officer Candidates being members with exceptional performance and/or leadership skills. Members are selected (by biological beings) to be an officer candidate, going through several boards of approval, and having to pass several exams. If they succeed, they rank up to Officer Cadets. The Officer Cadet phase usually involves several tours on the field, involving leading a unit, first with supervision, then without supervision. If all goes well, they are official promoted to a Lieutenant.

Enlisted
 Abbreviation

Enlisted members are the ones who do the heavy work and have the painstaking task of doing all of the fighting. They, as expected with any organization, make the majority of the branch and are the most common you’ll find.

### Appointments

In addition to the standard ranks, several appointments exist for members of the three sections of the signaling and performance detachment.
