Exodus Wars

Royal Empire of Man

If you decide to play as the Royalists then you will be fighting to keep humanity unified in the face of a hostile galaxy. You believe that only together can humanity prosper eventually ascend as the dominant species. You are fighting to put down the rebels and provide stability to the Empire. Led by the powerful, genetically boosted nobles and the limitless manpower of the loyalist infantry regiments you will be a force to be reckoned with. An army from the Royal Empire of Man will be typified by hordes of conscripted infantry, supported by heavy walkers in the form of squires and Behemoths. It’s an army of two extremes, you have the terrifyingly potent Behemoths which are capable of dealing out horrific amounts of punishment and the poorly equipped and trained conscripts. Common tactics will involve using the conscripts as tar pits to pin the enemy in place whilst Squires flank and destroy them in detail. The whole time your Behemoths will be able to act as mobile fortresses acting as both an irresistible force and an immovable object.

Unit List

Lieutnant Colonel

The Lieutenant Colonel commands a full battalion of men. A battalion is made up of three to five companies of men formed around a central core of squires.

Conscript Fire Team

The ranks of the Royal Empire Infantry form a massed defence against all who would threaten mankind. Poorly equipped and ill trained the conscripts fight with a fervour and dedication that belies their humble origins. Few aliens survive underestimating the power of the Royal Empire as it fights to spread the purity of Man across the galaxy.

Tzunami Squire

Tzunami Squires are quadruped multiple rocket launchers, a type of rocket artillery built and fielded by the Royal Empire. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver a devastating amount of explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to Battle Squires but are inexpensive and easy to produce. This mobility gives the Tzunami Squire another advantage, being able to deliver a large blow all at once and then move before being located and attacked with counter-battery fire.

Conscript Heavy Weapons Team

What conscripts lack in technical ability they make up for with quantity. When additional firepower is required the line will be stiffened by attaching heavy weapon platoons to a company. Heavy weapons vary from high calibre auto sluggers to anti-tank cannons. A typical platoon will feature 6-8 pieces with supporting infantry.

Grenadier Fire Team

The majority of the Royal Empire’s forces are comprised of conscripted serfs from the Imperial fiefdoms. The Grenadiers are a different matter however. To join the Grenadiers you must not only volunteer but you must pass a rigorous selection process. The Grenadiers are a well trained professional force. Well equipped, armoured and motivated they form the backbone of the regiment.

Battle Squire

The Battle Squires of the Royal Empire of Man come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are used as a highly versatile form of armour on the field. They average in size from 20 to 25 feet tall and carry a variety of weapons and munitions. The real strength of a Battle Squire over conventional medium armour is its ability to traverse difficult terrain and to adapt to cover more easily than a tracked or wheeled vehicle. Better use of cover is considered of greater value to a Squire than armoured plate.

Conscript Light Artillery

Infantry companies advance under the cover fire of both directed fire slug cannons and chain sluggers and support fire from their light artillery batteries. Light artillery allows the application of both high explosive suppressive fire and also spectrum jamming clouds. The usual weapons in light artillery batteries are mortars or short ranged rocket batteries. These weapons are mounted on self propelled chassis’s to allow the pieces to keep up with the advancing infantry.

Hussar Squire

The Hussar Squire is a Marcovian bunker buster when faced with an entrenched enemy the Hussar is the ideal choice. It is equipped with a heavy pyrocannon for taking out infantry and a howitzer for blasting apart bunkers. It is agile and able to step over tank traps and other obstructions that would ensnare tracked vehicles making the perfect choice for assaulting fortifications.

Predator Squire

Predators are designed to be the perfect hunters. They have a long ranged beam cannon for eliminating enemy armour and a pair of pyrocannons for taking out infantry that get too close. They are able to navigate through light terrain without difficulty allowing them to skirmish with enemy armour without being restricted as tracked or wheeled vehicles would.

Winged Lancer Knight

The Winged Lancer is probably the best-known style of Knight in the Royal Empire. Designed as an escort for Behemoths the 32ft tall Knights are always at the forefront of the charge. Although the other Kingdoms have made massive strides in robotics the Winged Lancer is regarded as the pinnacle of the Royal Empire. The Winged Lancer is armed with a multitude of weapons for both long and short range combat. For long ranges, it carries a 120mm Slug Cannon that allows it blast apart enemy troops with either armour piercing rounds or hyperbaric shells. A Plasma Cannon gives it short ranged devastating firepower against all targets. The 40mm Slug Cannon is a rapid firing armour piercing cannon. A Heavy Beam Cannon provides further armour piercing ability and a chainslugger rounds off its arsenal with anti- personal firepower.

Raptor Fighter

The Raptor is an Imperial double-seat starfighter that is used by the Marcovian Kingdom of the Royal Empire. The Raptor has continued to be used as a front line fighter. The Raptor was designed as an intersystem, high-performance star fighter. The design has continued to be refined over the last decade. Speed is the priority for the Raptor, allowing it to carry out the mission of home defence against enemy bombers or on occasion even ground strikes against enemy ground forces.

Aquila Bomber

The Aquila is a four-engined heavy bomber which it is at home in the vacuum of space or in a variety of atmospheres. It is designed to deliver heavy ordnance to targets in land and space. When deployed against ground targets it uses usually uses cluster munitions. However it can also be loaded with air to ground missiles and torpedoes to increase its versatility.

Baron Behemoth

When the Barons are let loose on the battlefield they act as the ultimate form of heavy cavalry. With Battle squires they work together as an armoured wedge crushing through the enemy ranks. A twin barrelled Exterminator cannon acts to hose down enemy infantry with slugs, whilst the slug cannon acts as a potent weapon against enemy Behemoths or heavy armour.

Marcovian Dukes Behemoth

Dukes provide a command nexus for the forces of the Royal Empire. The Behemoth is not just a combat machine it is an integral part of the command structure. The Duke is linked in to operational control of the whole theatre providing sensor data from the battlefield to the command headquarters. The Duke has a pair of railguns which shine against enemy armour but also provide a limited capacity to deal with enemy personnel. A top mounted rocket launcher allows indirect fire ability against massed enemy forces.

Marcovian Kings Behemoth

The Marcovian King’s Behemoth was built to prove Marcovian superiority over the other Kingdoms. It is massively armoured and heavily equipped. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in sheer brute force. Traditionally it is captained by the Emperor’s champion and has a crew of nine. It stands over 75ft tall and is considered to be the most powerful Behemoth in the twelve kingdoms. Where it treads, it walks with the power of an Empire behind it.
