Kaedekin Military Trivia
🕑 Added 2025-12-02 03:40:16 +0000 UTCThe Kaedekin Military is divided into 5 Branches, each of which use the same ranks.
These branches are:
Sky Rangers: This branch specializes in the operation of flying vehicles. They are in charge of of coordinating and controlling air traffic, responding to emergencies in the sky, providing high ground fire support against kaiju and dealing with airborne kaiju. They don't need to do that last very much. It makes them very sad. Branch insignia is a triangle containing a red hawk with outstretched wings... despite there being no birds like that on Surcease.
Void Rangers: The branch that guards the void breeches, deals with void kaiju, and and collects exotic materials. Specializes in heavy duty mecha, transforming tank mecha with big canons, and mecha that combine into a bigger mecha. Their insignia is a stylized black shuriken.
Field Rangers: The branch in charge of keeping the lands between settlements and farms safe, as well as keeping the forests and fields healthy and keeping an eye on animal migratory paths, which include the local kaiju. Also in charge of preventing and controlling forest fires, flood response, and search and rescue of lost sisters. Their branch insignia is a red tyrannosaurus head.
Metro Rangers: the urban branch of the military, in charge of keeping traffic clear, assisting civilian sisters, responding to supervillainous sisters like The Songstress and her bad karaoke singing in the middle of the night, coordinating during emergencies like storms, acting as firefighters and first responders, and being on the lookout for sisters for nanobots, mind-controlling brain slugs, nanobots, shapeshifted demons, nanobots, shapeshifted kitsune, nanobots, shapeshifted fae folk, nanobots, little girl vampires, nanobots, robot impersonators, nanobots, spiritual possession, nanobots, disguised ninja, nanobots, incarnated eldritch abominations, and nanobots. Their branch insignia is 555 inside a shield.
Star Rangers: the youngest of the branches at only 300 or so years old, they are the most heavily armed branch of the space service. Their purview is patrolling the star system, marking asteroids and comets so they don't surprise people, escorting ships on resource extraction missions, garrisoning the other planets of the system, dealing with first contact, and being the first response to alien invasion. Their insignia is the constellation libra... despite that constellation not being visible from Surcease.
