Sorry, no bolt/plasma pistol. 2 particular voice packs can make you sound like a Russian or Drill Sergeant. Their armors also emphasize practicality and militaristic designs.

	On Auraxis there’s 4 continents: Indar, Esamir, Hossin, and Amerish. Indar is a desert continent with some greenery and many open spaces, although slopes and massive elevations exist. It’s also the oldest and most popular continent. Esamir is a snowy continent that also has lots of open spaces, but is in practicality much smaller since an area called ‘The Shattered Warpgate’ takes up a good chunk of the map and has no strategic value. [[Catachan\|Hossin is basically Space Vietnam]]. It’s a bitch to navigate, and caters more towards infantry and aircraft. Amerish is also a very green map, but is infamous for its many hills, mountains, and rough terrain. Prepare for many uphill fights. As a general rule of thumb, the most intense battles will be at the center of the map or major facilities (like biolabs). [[Awesome\|Each continent has more than enough space to bear witness to immense combined arms battles, tank battles, and dogfights]].

	Overall control of a continent depends on how many bases your faction has. Each base has at least one capture point that you fight over. [[Imperial Fists\|Some of these bases will be made by other players in real time, including fortifications and heavy weaponry]]! These player-made bases can also be in strategic locations that block access to the ‘real’ bases behind them. In any event, you need to control a ton of bases so that you can trigger an ‘alert’, which is a contest for territory that lasts for an hour and 15 minutes. Whatever empire has the most territory at the time limit controls the continent until it reopens after the other continents are rotated through. Rinse and repeat. The process for capturing and defending bases can be akin to a large game of team deathmatch if the population is low. [[Iron Warriors\|But once more people start showing up, the battles to capture or defend bases will start resembling grinding sieges that can last hours.]]		Overall control of a continent depends on how many bases your faction has.

			Their unique MAX unit is called the Defector.
