On Ranks: What's up with the Aliroo ranking system?? **Aliroos use Strike Force Swift Lance (a remote strike force in the Conferacy way off at the edge of nowhere)'s ranking system. Either that or SFSL picked it up from the Aliroos ^.~ Ranks are about like this: (red slash) Striker (red slash) Finf (blue slash) Tweg (blue slash) Dec (gray slash) Alt (gray slash) Aspirant (white pip) Cent (silver pip) Mil (black pip) Caud 'Roos in any part of the Aliroo Defense use the same Rank, and these slashes and pips go on a high black collar that leaves room for the black pendant collar.

'Kay, the force doesn't have a name yet. But, through reading through the StarCraft guidebook, as well as reading the Last Legion and lookin' up terms in the handy dictionary, I've got a very vague idea regarding the Force. Remember, this overwrites anything I wrote before. Mostly. You can just say that Blu yelled at Roy quite a bit, and then they came up with this. Different Companies, if you will. Of course, divided many times over into respective fleets and whatnot. We have the main strike forces Kalarin and Phadrah.

Kalarin (kahl-la-RIN) Commander/Exec - Caud Roy Blake Designation - Primary Aerial Assault Ranking Roos - Cent Darla Quincy Alt Cobalt Connery Dec Kidis Lackey Kalarin is the AF's main assault legion, consisting of the best Aliroo Wings. They are uncannily clever, headed once by perhaps the best Commander in the force, Cyr Jakson. Jakson's recent death has left Kalarin in the paws of Caud Blake.

Phadra (FAY-drah) Commander/Exec - (recently promoted) Cent Vince Rean Designation - Secondary Aerial Assault Ranking Roos - Aspirant Peath Etra Cent Randy Johnson Dec Cruisor Taylor Dec Blu Flyer -- Blu is very casual about Dec'ing, and usually isn't even considered part of Phadra until she has to lead a wing or occasionally, fleet. When in doubt, Phadra is called to back up Kalarin. Phadra's Aspirant Rean was recently promoted upon his leadership in the Battle of Katrees. Unlike the general proffesional look of Kalarin, Phadra is known for their morbid and generally offkey sense of humor.

Tirnesh (TEER-nesh) Commander/Exec - Caud Pæd Huntre Designation - Intel & Recon, Infantry, Policing Shtuffs Ranking Roos - Tirnesh is the main ground force, plus I&R. Tirnesh employs no wings, and sticks completely to the combat specialist Roos who are, on average, as ruthless as Company Marines.

Tirnesh Divisions: Albucernic (al-ba-CER-nic) - These Roos aren't really called upon very often; they're mostly the Roos who hold the peace, the ones who are called upon when there's a skirmish ot something. hehe all of them hold Silver/NoBorder "U"s. Headed by (recently promoted) Caud June Weathersby I&R - These guys are worse than Nova Squadron. And I'm not talking Obsidian Wings, here. SilverBorder "U"s required, plus extended training. In the words of Alt Heldey: "We're the dirtiest in the Tirnesh, and when we're not, we're the cleanest." These are the flippers. Oh yes. Once headed by Dec ReKorz, I&R is now in the paws of Aspirant Dav Eckbirg. Uveece (eh-VEECE) - The main Infantry. CRUNCHIES! hehe.... I haven't gotten the Uveece organized yet, but they're there nevertheless. But mostly the Crunchies. Not really very many compaired to most other Forces; remember that Roos can shapeshift..teehee... Jasr'tiu (jazz-ER-twa) - This is a recently brought-to-life Albucernic-controlled organization is headed by the recently transferred Caud Boomer Flyer. It's a new policing department that will be in charge of getting a lock-down on those Roos everywhere violating the Directives =P LATER - Silirien (si-LEER-ee-EN) The Silirien come into existence under the command of the Albucernic, after Razor becomes organized enough to need control. More about Silirien later, no worries ^.^ Silirien is headed by (then) Alt Cobalt Connery and Dec Jacey Blue.

Minest (MEE-nest) Commander/Exec - Mil Max Retter Designation - Aliroo Navy, if you will Minest has it's own type of ships, with the exclusion of a pawful of Silver wings. The main ships used...

"Watersnake" Desig - Marine fighter vessel Control - Riggernet/Flux Crew - 1 Armament - high powered charge beams, depth charges, homing torpedoes The Watersnake looks a lot like an arrow with a short tail. It's a dark blue-silver color (ooh, camo) and is very manueverable. Kinjit Desig - Marine Recon Scout Control - Manual Crew - 2 Armament - Minimal phaser-type weapons. The Kinjit is a relatively small ship that have ultra-reflective hulls and are equipped with anti-detection technology. "Lightveil" Desig - Marine Battlecruiser Control - Manual Crew - 7-9, minimum: 4 (command, intel, gunner, pilot) Armament - charge beams, torpedoes, mines, marine warp capabilities A Lightveil is a ship mostly shaped like a walnut. Along it's bottom is a shimmering veil of light, which serves as propulsion and weaponry focus and also serves as a part time containment field/tractor beam

Here's the main ships used in the Kalarin and Phadra: Silvership Desig - All terrain recon and scout ship Control - Riggernet Crew - 1 Armament - Silverstone pulse beams Blobby silver things that are a whitish silver color. They squish, contort, stretch and they even fly! They can also "swim." Silvers are powered by a silverstone, which also is used to power weapons. They are extremely flexible and agile. Another thing, the Silvers are rigged. Rigging is the implementation of the Flux. Silverships are extremely tiny and can hold only one pilot. Gold Desig - Air/space Fighter Control - Manual Crew - 1 Armament - High-Power energy lasers, vipers, good ole' machine guns These are more "traditional." They are roughly the size of a fighter jet the humans use, and arrow shaped. These ships are truly piloted, and also run on fuel and use energy weapons as well as machine guns and tracking missiles. Diamond Desig - Specialized Eradication Vessel Control - Manual Crew - 1-3 Armament - Phaserbanks, D-Ring Tech There are scant few Diamonds, and fewer pilots who are qualified to fly them. Diamond sports phaser-like weaponry, and that's not all. Diamond is specially designed to fire D-rings, rings of light that implement a smartsafe transport technology. Obsidian Desig - Specialized Fighter Control - Riggernet Crew - 1-4 Armament - High-Power energy lasers, Bio-Infection Pods, TechDisrupter Spell Obsidian is a Rigger ship, and is also mainly magic-based. It has a tech-disabling spell for use against enemy ships, as well as being bio-genetic and able to absorb energy weapons and most guns and missiles. The Obsidian is rigged, and powered by a stone which has the ability to change color. Obsidian is equipped with phaser banks which can fire from any surface area of the ship, as well as the virus pods.
