The K'kree Armed Forces is a combination of what other races might call the Two Thousand Worlds Army and Two Thousand Worlds Navy.

  • The K'kree are far more collectivist in psychology than most of the other Major Races and don't find it useful to separate their armed forces.


Description (Specifications)[edit]

Every male K'kree must serve a term in the military upon coming of age. Warriors are drawn from all castes; rank in the military is determined by the caste of origin (nobles enter the service as general officer trainees, merchants as lower officers and noncommissioned officers, etc.). Upon completing the required term of service, a warrior returns to his original caste and position. Warriors are the only K'kree permitted to bear weapons, and they are further distinguished by their peculiar flared and horned helmets. They serve as soldiers, police, firefighters, and bodyguards for diplomatic and mercantile expeditions.

  • Due to K'kree claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) and agoraphilia (love of large, open places), K'kree design massive military vehicles and starships with large crews. One-man fighters are near unheard of in K'kree military circles and any K'kree willing to operate a vehicle alone would be considered insane.
  • The K'kree military is not professional or aggressive in a manner familiar to other sophonts. Instead of advancing a military career as a form of glory, they treat it more as a form of public service. A better understanding of the K'kree military would be to think of them as pest-exterminators. When they take to battle they do so to kill all the enemy, not merely to force them from a position or improve a negotiating position.
  • K'kree military strategy favors large, coordinated military maneuvers making decisive encirclement movements. In ancient Terran terms their preferred battle form would be the Kesselschlacht, or 'cauldron battle' where the enemy are surrounded and then systematically exterminated. K'kree don't operate in penny piecemeal military formations. When unable to coordinate a complete encirclement the K'kree often resort to heavy attacks in restricted areas (a supported charge on a narrow front) designed to penetrate an enemy defensive line with the goal of causing the enemy to fall back. This retreat is then mercilessly punished.
  • The K'kree have fought one war with another Major Race the Hivers see Hiver-K'kree War.
