History & Background (Dossier)
The term Soldier derives from the Ancient Anglic, further derived from the Terran Latin language of the ancient Terran pre-Industrial Roman Empire of the Mediterranean Sea region of southwestern Eurasia. During its latter days, its professional state legionaries were paid in gold coin (known as a "Solidus" - the pay rate of the legionary) or in an equivalently valued amount of salt (which was both a valuable and versatile substance in the day), and hence would receive his "salary payment".
