"They call me a terrorist, a radical, a monster because I follow the ancient and pure laws of my people and I punnish those who do not. I will not forgive their kind for taking the life of my father, and mt father's father, and his fathers before him. I have made it my mission to purify the universe of this foul scourge."

- Holy Indicter, Hazor the Accuser

Indicters are a holy sect within all Merian societies they act as both voices of the gods, holy priests, and judges. They follow the ancient laws word by word and will punish anyone who dares stray from their 'perfect' teachings. The punishment generally is given in a brutal killing fashion although at times clemency is shown depending on the circumstances. Mercy is never shown to those who dare rise up against the ancient laws though or those who surrender in battle.

Indicters under go complex rituals upon a daily basis they are expected to ritually collect and bathe in the blood of their fallen enemies (to appease the war gods and to show their favor), they are expected to be dusted with sand from the home world before entering battle (To show both respect and loyalty to the homeworld and the homeworld alone), and finally they are anointed with black oil and painted with glyphs (to honor all the other gods of the Merian pantheon) only then may they done their holy armor.

In battle Indicters are warriors with on equal all Indicters have seen thousands of battles and slain even more. They are equipped with armor that provides both material and religious protection and their weapons are made to be a mix of melee and range (Hammer that shoots a massive laser or a sword gun stuff like that).

They are the forefront of the 'Continuation Wars' as the Aetanii know them where many Aetanii settelements and colonies have been 'clensed' and millions if not billions slaughtered on the battle field or in a ritual fashion to please the old gods.

Now before you go, "These guys are just horrible fanatics who slaughter the innocent." The Aetanii have killed just as many of their kind for similar reasons. Indicters also follow a ancient set of rules and laws meaning everything they do is dictated by such codes passed down, as they say, from their matriarch. This means those killed are not killed for no reason and means one can prepare themselves for such a event (heck the laws even have ritual cleansing for those who wish to accept them). Think of it as a brutal but honorable code that some have broken so far that their crimes as a race are irredeemable in the eyes of the Merians and killing them is a 'merciful act' (psychic energy stuff)
