List Of ORDERs

Principle ORDERS

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).

Dramatis personae

Leon Warspite

Rank:Strategos

Leon Warspite is the Strategos of the Grinning Reapers. In truth, he is a armoured brain and spinal column, with access to a variety of forms to suit the occasion. He is widely admired for his Exhuman zeal, though he also embodies a recent decadent trend of pomp, military honours and trophies.

Erinýes

Function: Orbital Frame Aerospace

Motto: Graceful Death

Heavily augmented pilots form the basis of Erinyes, small framed feminine exhumans make up this small but important group of Mecha pilots. Graceful, cunning and rather unwisely prone to entangling themselves in physical combat outside of their Orbital Frames, they have a reputation earned on the back of the ZOCU wars as fierce and effective.
