The Breach Golem Unit Military Formation in Ekkirah | World Anvil

The Breach Golem Unit

To secure its airspace and to recapture stolen airships, the Kingdom of Reos employs a unique military unit, the breach golems. This unique military wing formed out of necessity. Where there is something to steal, especially something valuable like flying vessels, there are going to be those who try it. Should they succeed it was immensly hard to recapture them. All known methods proved often unsuccessfull and immensly dangerous, leading to massive casualties. In order to combat this issue, the magi took to researching ways of creating an effective measure with which they would ensure success and few to no injuries.   First, they tried shooting tethered hooks at the fleeing ships. These were however most often simply dislodged or the wires would be cut. In addition, this method was only viable should the stolen vessels still be in range of the landmasses. Tethering and pulling two ships together could lead to a loss of both vehicles in addition to more casualties.   The second method was to teleport a group of elites into the engine room to disable it. They would lock themselves into that room, blockading all entry ways. This way, the ship was rendered immobile which bought time for reinforcements to surround the captured vessel and retake it. While it worked for a while, high profile criminals quickly picked up on this method and emplyed a variety of counter measures. Most often, they would lay traps in the engine room in addition to filling it with their goons.   With the two known tactics now proving almost ineffective, new ways of tackling these situations needed to be found. The solution came in the form of Lau Riem, a capable, well versed magus in the art of creating golems. She realized the benefits of both methods and decided to combine them into one.   Using golems, tethered giant metal pods with a drill shaped head and cannons, she managed to create the currently used tactic to retake captured ships. The golems walk into the metal pods which would then be loaded into a special cannon. After aiming, the pod is fired at the vessel. If it hits, the iron creation can open the tip from the inside, which allows it to enter the captured vessel and deal with the criminals.   A squad of this speciliased unit consists of two magi, two golems and a cannonier.
