SENTINEL GAME PIECE INTRODUCTION

THE SENTINEL GAME PIECES ARE ‘LEGIONARY-CLASS’ OPERATIVES

The StarArena Sentinel 衛兵 Game Pieces are specially trained by Battle Monks. Hand picked by one, or both Colonels from their divisional monastic-regiments, and assigned for duty as Royal Guard 王宮衛兵. In ancient times these were called the Sergeants-at-Arms, and in divisions where they uphold archaic traditions, you might hear the title fall more than once. In terms of reference, these Battle Units classify as Heavy Infantry 重歩兵. But with the grand reform of the Stratocracy this regiment was given the title and position of Legionary 軍団の! 

Note: Legionary Battle Units are a breed apart and carry Guardian Ranks and Insignias, donating their commitment to Temple, Game Gods and Code Root.
