	In the strictest sense, '''Phalanx''' is Greek for "finger" (in fact medically your finger bones are still called "phalanges"), but it is most well-known in the real world as a term for an ancient Greek military formation, in which spear-wielding warriors known as [[Hoplite]]s stood shoulder-to-shoulder and marched as a single rectangular block, resembling one large pincushion of death. The Phalanx was extremely powerful from the front but very vulnerable to attacks from the side, due to how difficult it is for the formation to move in any direction except forward, causing it to lose out to the more flexible Roman legionnaires.
