GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: The Lothal Guard
• Affiliation: Sethrak, The Draelvasier
• Classification: Elite Guard, Vanguard, Shock Infantry, Irregulars
• Description: The Lothal Guard are Draelvasier, mostly Aerevalin, loyal to Warlord Sethrak. After the fall of The Bryn'adul, their numbers dwindled, and those who remain are either veterans, or, more rarely, recruits from the most skilled and masterful fighters. The Lothal Guard act as Sethrak's personal retinue, and are versatile, capable of most forms of combat and tactics. Given Sethrak's affinity for ambushes and deception, they are particularly cunning. Members of The Lothal Guard often wear the head and skin of a Loth Wolf.

COMBAT INFORMATION: The combination of Unit Size and Availability below is the indicator of how numerous your unit is. Stormtroopers for instance would be considered Large/Common, while Rogue Squadron would be a Small/Unique unit. Majority Force User Units are prohibited from being Common or Large. The stronger and more specialized your unit is (FU or NFU), the smaller and less common it should be.

• Unit Size: Small
• Unit Availability: Rare
• Unit Experience: Elite
• Equipment:
  • Weapons:
    • Drael Munitions, but especially the following:
    • Val-Shae Spear [X]
    • Barad Kukri [X]

    • Vaydralen Mistral Blade [X]
    • Vaydralen Auto'ra Spear [X]

    • Barad Impact Grenade [X]
    • Sun Quaker Grenade [X]
    • Barad Glaive [X]
  • Armor:
    • Modified Theron Armour [X]
• Combat Function:
  • Function: Elite Guard, Sethrak's personal retinue. They are versatile, adapting for Sethrak's orders.
  • Tactics: Adaptable, but typically they utilize stealth, trickery, and deception to get an edge. Guerilla tactics such as hit-and-run attacks, raids, and assassinations wear opponents down. Ambushes and superior combat proficiency allow The Lothal Guard to decimate much larger forces with the element of surprise, and momentum. However, The Lothal Guard is capable of fighting in more traditional manners when necessary.
• Force Abilities (Force User Units Only):
  • Limited abilities, and not many members of The Lothal Guard are Force Sensitive.
  • NO telekinesis

Strengths:

• Veterans: The Lothal Guard is old, and its' ranks are made up mostly of Veterans from before and just after The Fall of The Bryn'adul Empire. That means they are experienced in warfare, cool under fire, and their combat proficiency is well-honed.

• Cunning: Like their Warlord, Sethrak, The Lothal Guard prefer to utilize unorthodox combat tactics, and have become proficient at employing these tactics.

Weaknesses:

• Heretics: Sethrak hand-picks most members of The Guard, and they have been under his command for a long time, including his reign as chieftain of The fallen Bryn Empire. His heretical, rebellious ideology has worn off on most of The Guard, causing friction between them, and Drael units under more-loyal, traditional commanders.

• Dwindling: Between the constant warring, purges and sabotage from traditional Drael, old age, and a lack of supplies to replace them, The Lothal Guard is shrinking. It seems unlikely that The Lothal Guard will ever fully recover its' former strength. That means The Lothal Guard cannot be present at every battle The Draelvasier fight, nor could they garrison any planet The Drael may conquer. Their use in this way is limited.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
As a Warlord, Sethrak was awarded the planet Lothal. Sethrak chose to make an elite garrison given the planet's proximity to Sith territory. Simply named The Lothal Guard, the unit wore Loth Wolf skins, and was equipped with the best equipment The Warlord could procure. However, borders changed, and eventually Sethrak decided to pull most of The Lothal Guard off of Lothal. Thus he took his elite retinue to help The Bryn in several major assaults and skirmishes, such as The Diamondback Crisis, The Lastwall Assault, Tilrinn, and of course, the decimating battle of Danuta. He trained them vigorously and consistently, forming them into one of the most elite detachments of The Bryn'adul.

When The Bryn Empire fell, The Lothal Guard returned to Lothal, where Sethrak held on to as much Draelvasier territory as he could with his dwindling forces.

Now, The Lothal Guard are a small group of the most elite veterans under Sethrak's command. While technically sworn to serve Tathra Khaeus, The Lothal Guard is fiercely loyal to Sethrak, and await his command.
