Army of Dagoya

The Army of Dagoya was the military force of Bardotta. Comprising Bardottan warriors who trained in martial arts from childhood, the Army of Dagoya was first-and-foremost loyal to the hereditary ruler of Bardotta and to a council of Force-sensitive elders known as the Dagoyan Order, whose members also fulfilled the role of military command. Under Republic law, they were legally classified as a Planetary Security Force. The elected supreme commander of the Army of Dagoya held the title dagoyahajykt, which translated to "highest soldier of Dagoya".

The Army of Dagoya fought several wars against the warriors of the Frangawl clan, who denied the existence of Dagoya and instead worshipped their own god of war, and by the modern era collaborated with the Night Sisters of Dathomir, possibly even being a vassal of Mother Talzin's Zabrak clan.

They were named after Dagoya, which was an omnipotent deity in Bardottan religion and, according to the Dagoyan Order, was the being who created and gifted the power of the Force to the mortals who wielded it.

Equipment
Bardottan warriors were rather primitive compared to most other military forces in the galactic community, with their primary equipment comprising leather armor, simple swords, stone or wooden shields, and vibropikes. The use of blasters or even projectile arms were considered taboo in Bardottan culture, though certain artillery pieces like catapults and ballistas were occasionally used.

The Dagoyan Masters, who worked as intellectuals, governors, and priests, did not use their mastery of the Force as a weapon themselves, though did sometimes temporarily enchant the vibroblades of Bardotta's greatest warriors before large battles, and augmented Dagoyan warriors using the power of battle meditation from a distance.

Repulsorlift vehicles were equally as despised as blasters, and thus the only vehicles utilized by Bardottan warriors were animal-drawn chariots, and primitive one-use rockets when traveling into space. To counteract the threat of interstellar evasion without violating their own religious views, the Bardottans allowed the Republic Judicial Forces to maintain a presence in their star system to act as naval defense.
