The Empire has a rather strict belief that no life is truly useless and that every life form can find use within the Empire in some way, shape, or form. This even goes down to those most of us would call 'criminally' insane' such individuals tend to find work with the armed forces of the Empire used as shock and terror troops of many varieties. Now this post I will list the main types and some info for each:

- Butchers are recruited from individuals that have the compulsive need to cut, slash, and hack at flesh and bone of all varieties. Generally this leads to a job as a butcher or murder. For those that can't handle the impulse the State offers a solution: To Join the Auxilia. Butchers are then given heavy armor and large 'void cleavers' to hack apart their unfortunate victims. They tend to be used in boarding action, terror troops, or as close quarters fighters.

- Dancers are crazy, but only in a murderous sense most don't have a underlying issue save psychopathic tendencies. They are trained to be assassins able to 'dance' around the battle field with unparalleled speed, mobility, and flexibility. They are armed and armored with all sorts of equipment by the state normally a small arms and a sword/dagger of some sort.

- Pyros are well Pyros. They are used heavily within the military as terror troops armed with promethium filled flame throwers and a unquenchable thirst to burn. They are normally armored like those who they fight with (Ex: Custudo, Legions, and so on.) with the most veteran of the Pyros become the feared Devils, avatars of death and destruction and equipped with mech suits and the urge to burn down entire cities.

- Stalkers are used as spies within the Empire. Generally recruited with individuals with obsessive qualities and well 'stalkers'. They tend to be obsessed with their target by artificial means (Ex: Mind Chairs, and other devices to implant the image) they tend to only have small arms to defend themselves and maybe a dagger if they need to silently kill some one. While being spies they can also double as assassins if necessary.

- Slaughters are much like Butchers save they have the violent urge to kill with not only bladed weapons but all sorts of weapons. They are also used as terror troops and shock troops much like Butchers but at a larger range of operations.

- Screams are really Butchers, but those that can't be 'controlled' or 'reasoned with' thus the state augments the hell out of them and uses a 'peering eye' to keep them in stasis most of the time. When needed they are sent, via drop pod, to the poor planet to commit a reign of true and bloody terror. They tend to hide in the under levels of the worlds in question preying on more vulnerable targets or lone walkers.
