Fauthian medic

"And remember, each one of their squads comes with at least one medic. Take them out first if you can, because if you don't, they'll cause you a lot of pain later on."

- Captain Jiroum

Sith'ari medics, often commonly referred to as medics, where the second-most-common form of infantry in the Sith'ari military. They were often commonly sent alongside whole squads of standard troopers during the events of the Sith-Triumvirate War, though only one or two of them were distributed per-squad, most likely due to the increased amount of difficult training required for them to both be up to snuff as soldiers as well as battlefield medics. In order to fulfill this goal, they were often equipped with a slightly different version of the Sith'ari battle armor, this one focused more on survival than any offensive boosts, and had extra storage space that allowed them to carry such things as bacta canisters and a variety of other supplies with them into battle. Their armor was often decorated with orange and yellow stripes and trim in order to distinguish them from standard troopers, and the extra survival options even allowed for medics to survive briefly in the vacuum of space thanks to large air supplies, though they were limited and could run out, especially with damage from space collisions or crashes. They were often the first out of Sith'ari forces to receive beskar upgrades to their armor, for obvious reasons. For self-defense, they carried a Sith'ari variant of the blast cannon, upgraded with the unique crystal that powered all Sith'ari weapons.

While they were not initially deployed in the first battle of the war, they would become regular additions to Sith'ari forces in the assault on Centares, and would be seen for the rest of the war. They were most commonly the first targets of Triumvirate soldiers on the battlefield, as taking them out would deny the other soldiers the chance to recover from their wounds, and this created a great demand for more of them, ones that the empire struggled to meet the longer the war dragged on. They barely managed, however, and medics continued to be deployed, at times converting regular soldiers into the occupation. Unlike regular troopers, no captured natives were trained as medics due to security risks.
