Taken from the general military after showing adept skills with ranged weapons and mountable animals. A small group at first, the Cavalry units that would come in on horses and other creatures brought from around the galaxy or serve to smash into enemy lines served well for thousands of years. They weren't as renowned as the yovshin swordsmen but they held a level of skill and refinement learning how to shoot bows and later energy bows from their saddles or run down most ground forces.
With the destruction on Atrisia many were killed and those who retreated were taken in on the colonies serving as protectors, on Shri-Tal a number of them came to work for the military taking on a new designation of screamers and helping protect the planet itself. Still maintaining their skills and only getting better equipment as time went on in the form of pikes to thrust and stab or vibroblades and hammers to smash into.
Their armor is lightweight and more flexible then protective so they can move around and get nearly any angle with their bows, trained to fire backwards at targets and keep moving at higher speeds or two to a mount. Their armor also causes a number of issues as they can't take hits as much and on the ground without something to ride their basic training doesn't stand up to most units. The massive hit to Atrisia cut their numbers to dwindling as well making seeing them in places rare outside small groups who might serve to be scouts.
The years though have been kind as they were stationed around the great wall to defend the fallen capital city. The screamers able to move and tested the first war droids and orchid platforms that were designed to provide heavy defensive and offensive means against threats coming to the city. Constant attacks that come at the city to try and exploit the darkside nexus that was there. THey worked to defend it and battle hardened and pushed to the brink the constant dangers proved effective in making them stronger.
Then they were given relief as forces were pushed off world and better equipped with other group;s being formed to help them in different areas so they would be able to move around and fight at the wall and the other walls that were being made.. massive and defensible to protect the cities. They have been given some fo the best in terms of vehicles and equipment that are fast and made for charges, animals from Atrisia and other worlds where they have had colonies as well as better armor and weapons to use from the back of their mounts.
The versilitility of the screamers has changed as the royal military and its soldiers have been given some fo the best training and the ability for them to switch aand use vehicles or creatures as a mount to go into battle or in situations where they need it to escape. THey have been educated and trained it their use as well as more equipment and weapons from around the galaxy they might encounter from forces trying to exploit the city.
