Sorran Warrior

Training
Many Sorrans join the army at some point in their lives, for generations Sorrans have been fighting or preparing to fight. Even in the days of the Commonwealth rebel sects in the clans have always threatened the peace and had to be dealt with. Most warriors are trained in basic combat then put on the militia force or returned back into society if they are deemed more valuable to the clans in some other profession.

The training of a Sorran warrior is mostly basic unit tactics, they emphasize unity and comradely above all else. They are effective in groups of ten or more, it is extremely rare to see a unit brake up into fire teams smaller than ten or even twelve. The training is intense but short, it ensures all Sorran warriors know how to fight and be effective as a team. It takes about one to two months for basic warrior training. There are however other training programs for warriors wishing to join different corps. Nearly seven million Sorrans are basic foot soldiers.

There is a Marine training program that lasts another three months and trains the warriors in the art of boarding enemy vessels and defending vessels from boarders. Also how to launch an effective invasion and how to make hit and run raids. There are currently 2 million marines in service of the Commonwealth.

Equipment

The Sorran MKII combat armor encompasses the entire body and is made up of strong titanocarbon plates and a light Kevlar jump suit. The plates can deflect most ballistic and energy weapon based shots, the Kevlar jump suit can only deflect a glancing shot from a ballistic weapon.
