“All right now, you wanted to chat? No, I have a few minutes before I have to get going. If you want to talk to a good rifleman, talk to me. I graduated with top honors at the academy. What? You don’t believe I am that good? Look at this arm, pure chrome baby. See this plasma rifle? I can take out anything and everything I will ever need to with it. Still don’t believe me? I don’t have more time to convince you, I have to be out of town in 5 minutes, they have a report of some bandits on the outside of town.”
-Rankor Steelship, Burgunn Sheriff
The Thinking Man's Warrior, Soldiers tend more towards defense. They view combat as a means to an end, and prefer to keep a broader view of things. What good is winning if you're too beat up from the struggle to enjoy it? Many of them have an affinity for technical work, and stealth is a useful asset for the wandering Soldier. Members of the soldier class can be found among the hunting and bodyguard professions, and quite often end up as officers within military and paramilitary units.
Members of the soldier class like to use the latest weaponry to get past obstacles. You can find them in almost every city, and in most of the frontier worlds of the pathways. Most soldiers find extra work in attempting to capture criminals, either in law enforcement or in bounty hunting.
