Cai'nul Trade Directorate/Military Organization

OverviewFactbookCharactersTradeAI**Military Organization**

Practitioners of **Akro'neuva**, the Cai'nul specializes in electronic warfare and overwhelming force to capitulate their enemies. To solidify this doctrine, the Aktona Lissoma is known for its large majestic fleets capable of outmaneuvering most competitors whilst the Assembly unleashes waves of robotic warriors to silence any resistance. Shortening their engagements to reduce the time required for the Syncrals to protect their AI firewalls, prolonged engagements have shown an overall decrease in battlefield effectiveness and AI forces being sabotaged as their strained firewalls begin to fail.

Most effective as a lightning fast military force which conducts surgical strikes that demoralize their enemies, the Aktona are built around speed to grant rapid responses across their sprawling nation. In times of total war, they use this same speed to outmaneuver enemy forces and strike at the heart of their rivals without a chance for retaliation.

### Organizations and Units

Elites
* **Ak'kia**: Traditionalist melee warriors, the Ak'kia (Pronounced: Ak-k-eye) trace their origins back to the Ak'siu honor guards of the **Dynastic period** and have maintained their legacy through centuries of loyal service to the remaining dynastic families. Loyal to the dynasty they serve first and foremost, the Ak'kia have been known to serve in the Aktona as specialist melee units when ordered to do so by their patrons. Heavily armored icons of the Ak'sius dynastic past, they are highly revered by the Aktonas soldiers and seen as the Cai'nuls finest warriors.
* **Custodians**: The Aktonas organic foot soldiers, the Custodians are specially trained combatants capable of both coordinating robotic movements and fighting in the frontlines. Trained to operate in a wide range of different environments, they are essential to the Directorates ground forces and are able to operate both independently and in combat units. Assigned to sections of robot divisions, these divisional units of Custodians constitute a team which is usually tasked with utilizing their forces together to achieve a goal. Custodian-only divisions are rare and mainly used for special operations where their robotic counterparts would prove ineffective.

Professionals
* **A.O.U Series**: Utilized by the Cai'nul for special autonomous operations, the **Autonomous Officer Units** are an advanced robot series that handles complicated tasks unsuitable for less advanced series. Able to govern occupied territories and coordinate troop formations without extensive oversight, they aid the Aktonas officers in logistical efforts. In times of extensive conflict, they are able to operate as sniper units and saboteurs. Most commonly found leading robotic forces or swelling the ranks of elite outfits, they are the rarest series encountered by enemy forces.
* **M.P.U Series**: The Aktonas primary combat models, the **Mobile Platform Units** are bipedal military-grade robot series with a wide range of customization. Outfitted prior to battle with specialized roles for each unit, M.P.U's lack the battle adaptability of organic soldiers, but make up for this by being expendable and cheap to replace. Coordinating in large battle groups, the M.P.U 12s are fearless combatants which rely on their numbers to overwhelm enemy forces.
* **B.D.U Series**: Heavily armored combat units meant to break through fortified positions and end stalemates, the **Broad Demolition Units** are made to disrupt a broad range of enemy fortifications. Built with a varied arsenal at their disposal, they display significantly more combat adaptability compared to the M.P.U series and higher survivability in combat scenarios.

Militia
* **D.P.U**: Built with military capabilities in mind for invasion scenarios, the **District Police Units** are the Trade Directorates robotic police officers. Created to possess a wide range of combat capabilities and battlefield tactics, they are used by the police for high threat scenarios and in times of invasion are co-opted into the Aktona as militia forces.
* **Directorate Auxiliaries**: Civilians trained to resist occupation forces in the event of a planetary invasion, the Directorate requires a baseline number of auxiliaries for every district on their planets. The selection of auxiliaries is done through volunteer recruitment with civilians being encouraged to sign up for the increased benefits that come with serving. In the event of auxiliary numbers falling below the baseline, randomized conscription is done amongst the adult population to replenish numbers.

Conscripts
* **Hollow Men**: Hardened criminals and terrorists conscripted by the Trade Directorate to serve in times of total war, the selection of these conscripts is based on their criminal history and number of murders. Once conscripted, the Directorate surgically alters them with cybernetics into ruthlessly loyal soldiers. Able to sustain higher levels of pain compared to most organic soldiers, they act as meat shields for Aktona forces with little training needed to hone their murderous tendencies.
* **Conscripts**: In the event of total war, civilians from the Directorate populace are able to be conscripted as soldiers or robotic handlers depending on the wars circumstances. Given half of the normal training time that professional soldiers are given, conscripts primarily act as support to help swell the Aktonas ranks. If the Kay'on has enacted emergency powers, conscripts are selected from the entire populace regardless of eligibility and given little to no training.
