Sentinel Armed Forces

The **Sentinel Armed Forces**, commonly referred to as **Sentinel**, is a military organization that arose in response to the disbandment of the Orbital Defense Force (ODF). Their formation was triggered by the emergence of the Dryxmar, a military alliance composed of disgraced soldiers, terrorists, thieves, assassins, and bounty hunters. The primary mission of the Sentinel is clear: to protect and restore their entire planet, Neviutron, in the face of the growing threat posed by the Dryxmar.

## Structure

The Sentinel Armed Forces mirror the organizational structure of the ODF, albeit with a distinct focus on their mission to safeguard and rejuvenate Neviutron. Their primary objective is to combat the Dryxmar, a conflict that has escalated beyond the planet's borders and into the EXM63 Galaxy. Remarkably, the Sentinel forces have managed to keep their ongoing battles concealed from the watchful eyes of the Galactic Republic.

Unlike the Rollover Rebellion, which consists of a diverse mix of miners, rebels, scavengers, and a limited number of soldiers, the Sentinels are well-prepared for heavy combat. They possess a degree of versatility that includes the formidable Seeker Armada, the elite Combatisels, the Disruptor infiltration unit, and the specialized Ironhorn branch, which focuses on utilizing aircraft and ships for strategic purposes.

The Sentinel structure is a notable departure from the Rollover Rebellion. Most Sentinels are bots from working-class backgrounds rather than military specialists. As a result, the Sentinels maintain an impressively low casualty rate on the battlefield, owing to their military-oriented roles and optimized alternate modes such as tanks, jeeps, IFVs, heavy trucks, and weapon platforms. This specialization allows them to efficiently engage in combat and protect Neviutron from external threats, contrasting with the Rollover rebels, who often find themselves ill-suited for full-fledged military operations.

### Members

The Sentinel has approximately 300 soldiers at its disposal. According to Orbiter, the most of them have volunteered to join their military in order to serve them and fight for the greater good. Because Omegas have weapons that are extensions of themselves, everyone has their own arsenal and is not limited, with the exception of a few endeavours.

## Trivia

### General

* The Sentinel's logo is contrary to their character. It also applies to the Dryxmar.

They are well-prepared for confrontations and can choose to pursue infiltration and reconnaissance when strategic.
* The Sentinels have a penchant for over-engineering their military hardware. This results in the creation of massive tanks, oversized aircraft, dropships, and even battleships. Despite their impressive size and complexity, these engineered marvels prove to be highly effective in fulfilling their intended purposes on the battlefield.

### Developmental Notes

* The Sentinels' emblem was designed to mislead the public into believing they are untrustworthy and evil, but they ended up using it indefinitely because the public and their supporters adored it.
* The Sentinels embrace uniform over distinctiveness.
* With approximately 1000 soldiers at their disposal, the Sentinel Armed Forces are well-equipped and organized to protect Neviutron and confront the threat posed by the Dryxmar. Each member plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of their planet and species.
* The Disruptor unit of the Sentinel Armed Forces boasts a notable member known as Baron. Baron is recognized for his calculated and methodical approach to covert operations.

This fusion of design and principles creates a unique identity for the Sentinels, emphasizing their commitment to justice and protection.
