Editing Rangdan Xenocides (section)

==Wargear and Military Assets==

The Rangda made extensive use of slave-soldiers, human as well as xenos. They were controlled through neural collars, which enforced absolute loyalty and reduced the slaves to savage drones. In combat, the Rangda would unleash them in massive hordes in an effort to drown their enemies. During the invasion of Advex-Mors Extremis, a single Randgan Overseer controlled a remote garrison of 10,000 slaves.

In addition to human drones, the Rangda made use of a number of exotic military units about which little is known. These included stalker drones capable of infesting ships in orbit, titanic Macrobeests, super-heavy Osseiovores, and the dreaded Slaugth Murder-Minds (though whether these were allies, drones, slaves, or some kind of bio-construct remains unknown). Based on the Rangdan's reputation for dark science and cunning, it is likely that these were only the most common of the Empire's tools.

While loath to meet foes in direct battle, the Rangda were no slouches and could be deployed in large numbers if needed. Each true Rangda was able to hold their own against a Space Marine in close combat. They employed a number of personal weapons, including lethal personal energy shielding that ignited the air and poisoned blades capable of overwhelming the biology of an Astartes.

The Rangdan fleet was composed of thousands of agile void craft known as war-barques. They employed a form of electromagnetic weapons nicknamed shadow blasters that were capable of both atomising their victims and crippling crews with radiation sickness. However, the true heart of their naval strength were the massive war-moons. These engine of war were crewed by entire detachments of Rangdan warriors and carried enough firepower to match, or overwhelm, an entire Imperial fleet. During the invasion of Advex-Mors, a single war-moon was able to hold its own against three [[Gloriana-class Battleship]]s, with the Imperium only achieving victory after sacrificing one of these now irreplaceable capital ships.
