The figurehead and patriarch of this clan is Tonlan, a highly-decorated Saurian General and commanding officer of the PLECANTH, the Imperial Saurian Capitol Ship. Tonlon is an accomplished tactician and served closely with the late Emperor Sha'tene. Many promiment Saurian military officials can trace their lineage to the Clan of Tonlanus. | The figurehead and patriarch of this clan is Tonlan, a highly-decorated Saurian General and commanding officer of the PLECANTH, the Imperial Saurian Capitol Ship.

Althoug the Saurian navy has encountered warp-capable societies (see Genura III) it has not perfected the matter/antimatter engine. Their vessels harness fusion from small neutron stars as the engines of their interstellar fleet. This presents an unusual problem for starship captains when applying certain command and communication decisions, as the Federation Prime Directive prohibits contact with pre-warp cultures and the sharing of technology and cultural interchange. Starfleet is uncertain as to the scope and power of the fleet's deployment capabilities. Although their terraforming campaign through the sector has been highly expansive it was met with moderate success. | |||

The space-faring '''Cityships''' ferry regiments of '''Paladins''' throughout the Avalon sector. | |||
Paladin armament and troop structure share many traditions in common with ancient Earth medieval warriors, royal cavalries and a quasi-militaristic structure of the modern Starfleet Marine Core. Apparently, members of the Saurian military are beholden to the Emperor and the politico-religious order that gives the monarchy the power to govern Sauria. | |||
Each Paladin carries a small shield emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5819] and has fashioned a hand-held radiation emitter that functions as a energy blade. Saurian weapons technology is highly effective in close combat, and the radiation emitter can disrupt duranium, cauterize wounds and even deflect phased-based energy. By simultaneously emitting and attracting high velocity radiation particles toward the emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5539], a focused beam of energy is harnessed in a melee weapon that has demonstrated an ability to effect strong casualty rates.[http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5852] | Each Paladin carries a small shield emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5819] and has fashioned a hand-held radiation emitter that functions as a energy blade.

Although the progression of the weapon in Saurian history may be analogous to escalation from projectile weaponry to disruptor and phased-energy weapons, there is no known Saurian blade and little is known about their pre-history. | Although the progression of the weapon in Saurian history may be analogous to Ancient Earth's escalation from projectile weaponry to disruptor and phased-energy weapons, there is no known Saurian blade and little is known about their pre-history. | ||
