Khaz'va

Overview
The Khaz'va was the largely overlooked ground forces of the Iridonian alliance. It was a small yet powerful force used as the defense force of Iridonia and a support for the empire. It was reorganized by Suffar during his reign.

Founding
when The Khaz'va was founded it was nothing more than a small guerilla force of rebels ready to stage a coup. When reorganized by Suffar however, it became a powerful force on any battlefield.

Organization
The Khaz'va was organized into many different branches all commanded by the Khaz'zhan. Phalanx The main line of warriors for the Khaz'va. These warriors were mainly close combat equipped with energy shields and Zhabokas. Most Zabrak were levied here and as a result the Alliance had millions of Phalanx troopers to call on. Skirmishers Skirmishers fill the role of light infantry fire support. They wore lighter armor than other units and fight with carbines. Their main purpose wass to support a Phalanx as it advances towards an enemy. light artillery The Zabrak operated two forms of light artillery, Long range and disruptor. both of these were placed on antigravity platforms and operated by a crew of three. Long range cannons were used when the enemy had superior infantry or numbers, Disruptors used against armor. Acolytes of Suffar While on Iridonia Suffar trained the many force sensitive Zabrak overlooked by the xenophobic Sith empire. These Acolytes were used often as assasins but were utilized on the battlefield as well. One of their most feared tactics was a lightning barage, in which the whole unit fired sith lightning at once. They were also skilled lightsaber combatants. Riders The Riders were a popular choice for young Zabrak joining the Kaz'va. They flew specially designed speederbikes with heavy blasters and specialized in hit and run warfare. Heavy weapons The "bloodletters" as many called them, were the heavy weapon specialists of the Khaz'va. This Unit had the most Trandoshan and Rattataki members, but plenty Zabrak were also into big guns. They wore the heaviest armor and carried the heaviest weapons. And never without shield generators. The Khaz'va also made use of battle droids and tanks, but since they used Imperial models they will not be mentioned here.

Uniform
The Khaz'va main troops wore dark grey armor plates over red and black uniforms. Commanders armor was simmilar except their plates and helmets were gold rather than gray. Their helmets were the most unique part with the tops made spiky to signify horns and identify them as Zabrak. The Acolytes wore intimidating nondescript black robes into combat. The most extravagent uniform was the Khaz'zhan's. His armor was gold like the commanders but his was covered in scenes of battle carved all over the plates, he also wore a flowing red cape and carried a golden ceremonial Zhaboka that was also lethal in combat.

Tactics
The Khaz'va used Guerilla warfare to great extant during the Invasion but after the reorganization they became more advanced. The Khaz'va Used shield generators to great affect, perfect for drawing foes in close. They also specialized in attacking at night, making sure the odds are in their favor.
