Principle ORDERS
Principle Orders hold most of the political and economic power in Heaven's Reach and also tend to be the most heavily augmented.
Grinning Reapers
- Function: Integrated Mech Infantry
- Motto: Die With a Smile
The Grinning Reapers are the largest Military Order on Heaven's Reach. A Mechanised Infantry Division, they can count upon power armoured infantry, IFVs and integrated air support and transport. With an emblem of a Smilie face clad in the clothes of the Grim Reaper, they are not unknown for sardonic behaviour. As Exhuman idealists, serving with the Grinning Reapers requires a pound of flesh (most outfits require some sort of sacrifice in order to become a candidate), usually eyes or a limb. Those who fail the subsequent entrance examination have these removed and they are not replaced (in recent years, the price of replacement limbs as made this more symbolic rather a actual burden). Those who succeed are given the Hands of the Reaper, stylised cybernetic hands that look like those of a skeleton.
As a famous and well outfitted ORDER, Grinning Reapers hold significant power within the makeup of Heaven's Reach.
