The Guard

The elite of the Empire's armed forces, the Guard are trained from birth in martial arts, weapons, strategy, and military protocol. Their distinctive dress uniform is a black jumper with a single red stripe down each side and a simple badge on the chest denoting rank. Many in the Guard shave half their head and keep a long braided ponytail. Though they may be awarded medals for acts of courage, they generally disdain a public display of them, for they believe the highest honor is to be a member of the guard.

The Guard report directly to the Emperor. Their primary mission is protecting the Emporer, and protecting his interest. Besides the occassional guard duty, members of the Guard may be called to escort important shipments, put down rebellions, or even assassinate political opponents.

There are an unusual number of the Guard aboard the substation, but no one but they seem to know why they've been assigned here at this time, particularly just before the recent explosions wrecked Dryad-Fellows.
