Nietzschean Defense Force


Introduction:

The Nietzchean Defense Force is divided into two branches, the Argosy (Starship Operations), and the Lancer Corp. (Marine Operations).

The Argosy is responsible for starship operations, starship combat, space travel, and such. The Lancer Corp is resposible for planetary combat, starship security duties, military prison forces, military police, and airborne combat situations.

Both the Argosy and the Lancer Corp wear the same uniforms, but their rank pips are different.

Special Argosy Weapons & Equipment:

1) Force-Lance:

Force LanceThe Argosy tend to use weapons that are smaller in size than their Lancer counterparts, called Force-Lances, as their standard side-arm. These Force-Lances can extend into a quarterstaff almost two meters long for melee combat, and at close range can shock anyone into unconsciousness with an electrical charge.

The Force-Lance is a versitile weapon, able to also fire a disruptor beam, act as a cutting tool, and provide a light source. Also, each Force-Lance is keyed to it's owner's particular DNA sequence, and as such, can't be used by anyone else without reprogramming it. It will issue an electrical shock to whomever attempts to use it that is not its owner, rendering that person unconscious for approximately 1/2 an hour.
