The Aslan Hierate has no Hierate-wide military organization.

  • Rather, individual clans each maintain their own Clan Militaries to defend their own interests.
  • However, there are only so many manufacturers of military gear, so Aslan militaries tend to have many similarities.
  • Please see Aslan Navy for the spacebourne forces.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Aslan are mostly a raiding culture, so the best defense is a good offense.

Mission (Goals)[edit]

Clan armed forces serve to facilitate the organized acquisition of additional territory by whatever means necessary for the clan and the fulfillment of the biological imperative. Internal competition and the need to garrison worlds within their borders is fortunately the main reason they have not over run the rest of explored space. No clan can afford to over extend themselves lest the other competitors sweep in to take what they can no longer hold. Offensive expansion is always the goal, any other operations are a means to that end.

Doctrine & Strategy (Operations)[edit]

No information yet available.

Rank & Grade (Hierarchy)[edit]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Aslan clan armies and mercenary forces often use similar organization and tactics.

TO&E (Organization)[edit]

Combined arms regiments are typical units for several clan militaries. These regiments are provided with a battle transport which helps the unit fight its way to the surface. Close support fighters and heavily armed and armored TL–14 grav vehicles are integrated to the squad level. These units have high morale and high initiative officers who favor bold aggressive attacks, and feints combined with long range strikes.
