- Role:
- The Drakonis Heavy Assault Company serves as a specialized reserve formation, deployed where conventional Imperial infantry would prove insufficient against heavily fortified or strategically vital targets. Operating under the command of Darth Sycophantia, the company is uniquely trained and equipped to fight alongside her Sithspawn creations, using their monstrous capabilities to break enemy formations, hunt Force-sensitive targets, and overwhelm defensive positions. Rather than functioning as a traditional frontline unit, the Drakonis Heavy Assault Company acts as a brutal force-multiplier, combining disciplined heavy infantry tactics with the unpredictable terror and specialized abilities of Sithspawn bred specifically for war.

- Classification: Assault Infantry
- Description:
- The Drakonis Heavy Assault Company is not a traditional frontline formation, nor is it committed to the ordinary rhythms of Imperial warfare. Held in special reserve under the direct command of Darth Sycophantia, the company is deployed only when conventional infantry are deemed insufficient for the task at hand. Its soldiers are heavily armed and conditioned to operate in close conjunction with Darth Sycophantia’s Sithspawn creations; war-bred organisms engineered for pursuit, battlefield slaughter, and the hunting of Force-users. Rather than functioning as handlers or mere escorts, the company are trained to fight as an extension of these creatures, advancing behind their unnatural strength, exploiting openings created by their assaults, and securing targets the beasts have driven into the open. Their deployment is therefore less a conventional military maneuver than the unleashing of a coordinated predatory force; disciplined heavy infantry moving alongside engineered monsters, each serving a distinct purpose within Darth Sycophantia’s doctrine of extermination.

- Combat Function:
- The company functions as a specialized shock formation designed to overwhelm threats that conventional Imperial infantry would struggle to contain. Rather than relying solely upon massed firepower, its heavily armored soldiers advance in coordinated conjunction with Darth Sycophantia’s Sithspawn, using the creatures as living weapons to disrupt formations, pursue fleeing targets, breach fortified positions, and hunt Force-users. The company provides the discipline, tactical coordination, and sustained firepower that the Sithspawn lack, while the creatures provide the speed, ferocity, and predatory capabilities the infantry cannot replicate. The units are therefore most effective in high-threat assaults, Force-user suppression, hostile-terrain operations, breach actions, and targeted extermination, where their ability to combine military precision with engineered monstrosities turns them into a battlefield force intended not merely to defeat an enemy, but to systematically hunt it down.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): No
- Elite Force
- The company is an exceptionally small and disciplined fighting force, composed of soldiers selected for their physical conditioning, tactical aptitude, and unwavering loyalty to Darth Sycophantia. Even without the support of Sithspawn, its personnel are capable of operating as an independent heavy assault element, overwhelming superior numbers through coordination, precision, and relentless aggression. Their reputation rests not upon their size, but upon the fact that every company soldier is trained and equipped to perform the work of several conventional infantrymen, making the company a formidable weapon in its own right.
- Heavily Armored
- The D.H.A.C is a heavily armored fighting force, its warriors encased in formidable protection designed to absorb punishment and shield them from the enemy while advancing alongside Darth Sycophantia’s Sithspawn. Their armor and discipline serve an equally important purpose beyond the battlefield; providing a measure of protection against the sporadic, unpredictable behavior of the creatures they fight beside.
- Relentless
- The specialized company advances with relentless determination, pursuing its quarry across battlefield and wasteland alike with the patience of predators that refuse to abandon the hunt. Once committed to an attack, they do not relent or retreat easily; they press forward through resistance, casualties, and chaos until their objective is broken beneath the weight of their assault.
- Clone Improvements
- They possess enhanced DNA derived from both Epicanthix and Firrerreo genetic stock, granting its soldiers heightened physical resilience, regenerative capacity, and an unusual resistance to mental manipulation. These traits are the deliberate product of a controlled genetic cloning process, engineered to create soldiers capable of enduring the brutal demands of prolonged combat while remaining effective alongside the Sithspawn.
- Training Time
- Becoming a soldier of the Drakonis Heavy Assault Company is a lengthy and punishing process, combining rigorous military conditioning, weapons mastery, tactical instruction, and psychological discipline far beyond that expected of conventional infantry. Yet their most dangerous education comes in the handling of monsters, where recruits are trained to read Sithspawn behavior, survive their unpredictable instincts, and fight alongside creatures that can turn on friend or foe without warning.
- Small Soldiers
- Each company is deliberately small in number compared to traditional military companies, a consequence of the arduous cloning, augmentation, and the long training process required to produce each soldier, making every warrior a costly investment. Their scarcity makes them a rare and formidable sight on the battlefield, but also leaves them vulnerable to being overwhelmed when confronted by forces possessing vastly superior numbers.
- Clone Flaws
- The company’s greatest weakness is one that cannot be seen beneath their armor; the lingering biological side effects of the cloning process that created them. Though engineered for strength, endurance, and resilience, their altered physiology carries internal instabilities that can emerge under prolonged stress, injury, or extreme combat conditions, turning their greatest biological advantage into a hidden liability.
The Drakonis Heavy Assault Company was born from Darth Sycophantia’s desire to create a fighting force capable of operating where conventional soldiers could not. Serving directly beneath the Sith Lord, the company was conceived as a specialized heavy assault formation whose soldiers could endure prolonged engagements, pursue hostile Force-users, and fight in close coordination with the Sithspawn bred within the Darth Sycophantia's cloning facility.
Their creation relied upon a lengthy genetic cloning process incorporating enhanced Epicanthix and Firrerreo DNA, producing soldiers with heightened resilience, regenerative capabilities, and resistance to mental manipulation. Yet the process was deliberately selective and slow, making each soldier a considerable investment of time and resources and ensuring that the company remained small by conventional military standards.
Their battlefield function is consequently one of precision and brutality rather than mass warfare; they are deployed as heavily armored shock troops, monster handlers, hunters, and specialized reserve forces wherever Darth Sycophantia requires overwhelming force in a confined area.
Rigorous military conditioning is supplemented by extensive training in the handling and combat integration of Sithspawn, teaching the soldiers to recognize the creatures’ instincts, exploit their strengths, and survive their sporadic behavior. Despite their formidable armor, relentless aggression, and enhanced physiology, they are not without flaws; their limited numbers can be overwhelmed by larger formations, while the hidden biological consequences of their cloning process leave them vulnerable to internal instability, particularly under extreme physical or prolonged combat stress.
