Byzatium: Difference between revisions

The Byzallian races are considered to me militarily mature. The Dorfmen maintain a large standing army and a growing space fleet, although this is divided amongst their rival nations. It has been called into service to a greater degree recently to fend off the invasion by the [[Pythron|Pythro-Bardeezan]] Alliance, as well as against continuing raids by the Omunics. As more and more Dorfmen are killed or captured, they are increasingly having to rely upon their Hotch slaves or on those considered too young, too old or too ill for normal military service to plug the gaps in their ranks. In times of war, an eclectic mix of species are drafted to fight. Orders can sometimes need to be given in over twenty languages. <br>

The Omunics are a powerful foe and mount lightning raids into outlying Dorfmen towns and cities at night, but usually retreat (along with captives) before Dorfmen reinforcements can arrive. Sometime pitched battles have occurred, with the Omunics commanding regiments of ‘Crazies’ to assault the Dorfmen defenders. <br>
