[quote=@Deos Morran] [@Dervish]Oh trust me, I'm tracking. I work with a bunch of them. That's why I was basically saying that she'd be more effectively a Warrant Office in the essence she is an office who actually does stuff. Age variances aside... [/quote] Yeah, it's just for the whole age thing a warrant's kind of an off example, since if those guys were officers, they'd probably be floating around colonel in terms of experience and what not. [quote=@MrDidact] [@Deos Morran] If she was on Taetrus and if she was CQC she would most likely be part of the hastatim, those were the forces they used to clear buildings and fight insurgency. They're special forces as well. But they have a nasty reputation despite their essential role. Civilians are former military though, they all know how to fight and serve as a militia in war. Not saying they wouldn't buckle eventually but they wouldn't panic like a human colony with mostly untrained civvies would. [/quote] Those dudes are basically the turian Gestapo. [quote=@Deos Morran] [@MrDidact] Wait so literlaly all Turians go through military training at age 15? I thought that was just an option they had... In that case I got some writing to do... [/quote] All turians are conscripted into civil service starting at age 15 and serve until they are 30, where they have the option of leaving their service. Most go into the military, but there's other stuff as well, like policing, medicine, administration, firefighting, etc.
