History & Background (Dossier)

K'kree military organization historically builds itself up from the Fighting Band, essentially what outsiders might call the Cavalry Patrol, Band or Troop.

TO&E (Organization)

Due to K'kree claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) and agoraphilia (love of large, open places), K'kree design massive military vehicles with large compliments. One-man gunships and craft are near unheard of in K'kree military circles and any K'kree willing to operate a vehicle alone would be considered insane.

Unit Structure

The K'kree Horde and its warbands are built up from the following units and subunits:

Fighting Band (= 4-10 individual K'kree [ = "Squad/Patrol"])

• Warring Band (= 3-8 Fighting Bands [ = "Platoon/Troop"] + 1-2 Robotic platforms per Fighting Band)
  • Battle Force (= 3-8 Warring Bands [ = "Troop/Company/Squadron"] + additional support platforms)
    • Campaigning Force (= 3-8 Battle Forces [ = "Squadron/Battalion/Regiment"] + additional support platforms)
      • Warring Force (= 2 or more Campaigning Forces [ = "Regiment/Brigade"])
        • Exterminating Force (= 2 or more Warring Forces [ = "Legion/Division"])
          • Grand Force (= Everything that can be mustered [ = "Corps"])
            • The Horde (= All Forces [ = "Army / Army Group"])

Selected Manufacturers

The standard equipment, vehicles and other materiel employed by the various units comprising the forces noted above in their various deployments are procured by contract from a number of manufacturers throughout the Two Thousand Worlds. Contracts of this sort ensure that the materiel procured not only meets the operational standards and specifications required by the military but also ensures standardization for the purpose of interoperability and a source of replacement parts for repair and maintenance purposes. Some of the principal manufacturers with which the K'kree Military Forces contract include:

1. tbd
2. Etc., etc.

Selected Smallcraft & Fighters

Due to the natural gregariousness of the K'kree and their characteristic claustrophobia and agoraphilia, most craft employed by the K'kree are significantly larger in size than the corresponding equivalent vessels constructed by Humaniti. Vessels that would normally fall into the "smallcraft" size-category will either be remotely piloted unmanned drones (e.g. K'kree Aerospace Fighters are almost always remotely piloted drones) or organically piloted small non-jump spaceships or systemships (e.g. K'kree Landers).

Selected Vehicles

1. Kukr'ng'b class Grav Platform
2. Etc., etc.
