Soldier

The system may be in a state of anarchy, but there are always those who seek to impose order upon it. In a world where reason and neighbourliness are each in scarce supply, every cause needs its army. Most soldiers are trained to fight in support of such a cause, whether it be as lowly as guarding a settlement, a cargo space ship or as grand as protecting the interests of the government or resistance. Many soldiers work for private organisations or serve as part of a mercenary army that sells its skills to the highest bidder.
