To stand atop a mountain, and peer down through the clouds
See the storm yet unabated
Join hands, my brothers, and feel our unity
Turn back the rending claws of Chaos
And throw our enemies to the bloody sea
When you lay a hand upon the Orb
Feel our honor flare within your heart
When that hand parts from the Orb, an itch you will never scratch
Not a defeat at all, a fresh victory
And time for a new plan to hatch
In each hand, a weapon that will not be stilled
In each eye, an energy that will not be dampered
In each mind, an awe-inspiring keeness that will not be dulled
In each heart, loyalty and courage that will not falter
In each warrior, a true member of the Orb that will not fall
Faith in ourselves, faith in our Clan
Skill to overwhelm, skill to show the path, skill to save
When one stumbles, there is always three more to help him stand
When one exclaims triumphantly, there are always a dozen more to cheer
Lay a hand upon the Orb, and banish away all fear
All around us, the doubters lay stunned
All around us, the haters await redemption
All around us, the fearful hide their eyes
All around us, the challengers lie solemnly in their loam
All around us, the imperfect
Who can claim to be better?
Who can claim to be stronger?
Who can claim to be faster?
Who can claim to be smarter?
None.
Dark Orb, raise your fists and raise your cry
Join hands once more and feel our pride
Never fallen, never to fall
Forever triumphant
Forever...Dark Orb.

Battleteam Structure

A Covert Squad member

The Dark Orb Phyle is basically a team of squad leaders. It is made up of twelve specialized squads, each led by a squad commander. These commanders are led by the Tetrarch of the Phyle. There are five commandos and a squad leader in each of those twelve, with their own designated roles and responsibilities to carry out in the service of their Clan.

There are six types of squads within the Phyle. The make-up of these teams is as follows:


  • Deep Strike - The purpose of the Deep Strike team specialization is to infiltrate enemy territory over an extended period of time, and attack specified targets otherwise unreachable by the Dark Orb teams. There are two Deep Strike teams in Dark Orb.
    • Technician
    • Tech Specialist
    • Heavy weapons
    • Sharpshooter
    • Scout
  • Rapid Response - The rapid response team(s) is designed to be quick and mobile, getting to the exact location needed faster than the enemy, and still being able to pack quite the punch upon arriving at their destination. There are two rapid response squads in Dark Orb.
    • Tech Specialist
    • Pilot (2)
    • Heavy weapons
    • Scout
  • Demolitions - The demolitions squad is a highly specified team of five commandos and a squad leader who are deployed on operations for the sole purpose of eliminating targets through the use of extensive force, often involving explosives. Dark Orb has two demolitions squads.
    • Heavy weapons (3)
    • Pilot
    • Tech Specialist
  • Covert - This branch of squad specialization inside the Dark Orb Phyle is absolutely essential to the success of every operation. These men are trained to move silently and secretly, good at infiltration and assassination, masters of chaos and discord. Dark Orb has two covert squads.
    • Scout (2)
    • Sharpshooter
    • Sniper
    • Tech Specialist
  • Assault - This is the basic squad make-up in the Arconan military, essential to the success of the Dark Orb Phyle as a whole. The assault squad(s) generally carry out the main roles in battle. There are four assault squads in Dark Orb.
    • Tech Specialist
    • Sharpshooter
    • Scout
    • Heavy weapons
    • Pilot

Role Details

Commanders - The squad commanders (12 of them) each command five commandos. They can choose to fill a role on their own team as well, such as sniper.

Tech Specialist/Slicer - Expert in all things electronic, expert at hacking into enemy (and friendly) systems and also handles comm duties for the squad.

Heavy Weapons - Hits hard, armed with heavier weapons than the rest of the squad it is this person who will generally be laying down fire to cover a squad member. Is the explosives expert for the team.

Scout - Usually goes in ahead of a squad to see what awaits them. Silent and deadly, usually prefers close combat weapons so as to keep noise to a minimum when performing silent kills, although not afraid to jump into a fire fight.

Sharpshooter - Specialist in blaster weapons, differs to a sniper because he generally doesn't hide from his enemies and pick them off from far away, but prefers to be in the thick of the action, using the skills they possess with blasters to inflict as many casualties as they can.

Sniper - Expert at long-range killing. Good for covering a friendly, better at picking off important enemy targets from far away so as to avoid detection. Not very strong in close combat, however.

Pilot (General) - Expert at flying ships, capable of flying ground craft as well but not as proficient as a Vehicular pilot.

Pilot (Vehicular) - Almost the opposite to the general pilot insofar as they are extremely skilled with land-based vehicles and can operate spacecraft, but nowhere near as proficient as a general pilot is.
