History
The Cydonian Empire is a large organization of mostly humanoid aliens who dominate the Cygnus arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Their life times are considerably larger, a Cydonian aging one year every 1000 Earth years. They in addition support cloning technology, though it is highly expensive and mainly VIPs have them. Around 2030, the Cydonians entered a brief war with the Earth which ended up in defeat of China and Cydonian occupation of what was China.
Population: 60% Cydonian 20% Human 10% Lylatians and Mobians 10% Machines
Strengths/Weaknesses: Decently strong all-round, balanced in other words
Forces
COs Lord Emperor Draco Doreko Osiris (Originally the sprites of Leon Magnus, these'll be only temporary) The ruler and the most powerful soldier in the Cydonian Empire. Draco is now at the age of 25000 Earth years (25 in Cydonian). Despite the image that has been fed to the general public that he is a grand soldier, excellent tactician, and a cold man, he is actuualy quite the opposite. He's extremely expressive, emotional, goofy, and at times is extremely scatter brained. He is a good soldier though, is respected, and has his moments of tactical cunning. Draco is a rather perverted fellow, gaining immediate attraction to anyone that his "babe radar" picks up.
Captain William E. Finch A Ptolemaic from the Ptolemaic Wars (the events of Metal Slug 5). Finch's Ptole ship was attacked by the Regular Army and was thrown into the sea by a violent explosion. He was picked up when the Cydonians made their initial landing in China. Draco ordered him to be injected with Cydonian blood and parts of DNA in order for them to better treat Finch. He has since been healed of his fatal wounds and lives on according to Cydonian age.
Units Cydonian Infantry (also known as Knights) http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=881150 Crusaders are the backbone of the Cydonian military force. They excel are long-range and close range combat but are more opt towards long range with their long rifles. They borrow tactics from the old times of the British, forming infantry lines and firing in unison at their foes.
Cydonian Conscripts Fresh recruits, the conscripts serve as multi-purpose infantry, wielding all weapon types. Work well in groups
Cydonian Grunts (click the rank names) One piece of the Cydonian backbone, the Grunts are a next step up from the Conscripts once they get promoted. They wear large suits and wield mostly machine guns and shotguns. Some are just inexperienced rookies, others are just ordinary soldiers, and some are strong enough to take on COs, to an extent. All the Grunts have differing skill levels, some being better than others. Grunt Ranks: Dark Green and Blue: Privates and Corporals, the ordinary and most numerous of the Grunts. Know the basic training and possibly some advanced training. Blue and Brown: Sergeants, more advanced infantry who know most aspects of war but may not be using them effectively. Capable of taking on a CO in large groups Red and Black/White: Captains, the current highest Grunt rank. Trained in all basic and advanced forms, they put their knowledge of war to good use, capable of fighting COs on their own (or at least minor COs)
Cydonia Mechanized: Leopordo Heavy Tank A heavy tank of the Cydonian Empire, it excels in what the RAT lacks, firepower. Likewise, the Leopordo is slow. It has two machine guns on its front and one on the main turret. A light cannon rests on either tread.
Formor Merc Tank To compensate for their lack of tanks at the moment, the Cydonians purchased several foreign tanks along with merc crews to assist them in their ventures for the time being.
Hovertank The Cydonians discovered millions of these tanks, along with their design plans, in an abandoned military base that belonged to a now out-of-business private military company. These now serve as some of Cydonia's main tanks in the Earth theater.
Aeronaut Powersuit
Cheyanne Dropship A 'rented' dropship that the Cydonians are using for a limited time. It is a basic dropship, capable of transporting troops in addition to one vehicle. It's armed with missiles as well.
Roil Class Attack Ship Made by Mannerheim A Cydonian exclusive, the Roil (sounds like Royal) Attack Ship is one of the backbones of Cydonian Space forces. The Empire has a lack of space going fighters so it uses the Roil as a replacement. Roil squadrons come in groups of 6 to deal more damage to enemy capital ships. The Roil has 3 weapons, an anti-proton cannon, it's main anti-capital weapon and two ion turrets, one on top and one on the bottom to defend from enemy fighters, missiles, minefields, asteroids, etc The names of all Roil ships have roil attatched to the back of their name. Example: Kidroil, Basroil, Zazroil, Kuunroil, Gamroil
Cydonian LSC Battleship
The Land and Sea Combatant, the LSC is the newest addition to the Cydonian navy. In addition to being a means for Cydonian soldiers to be transported over seas, the LSC can also travel on land, albeit slower. It has an incredibly long range, with 4 cannons and multiple smaller weapons.
There is only one LSC currently in service: A-LSC 001 - Luxiole
