Fading Suns d6 character template 9 - The Soldier

In the Known Worlds, the variety of soldier types is stunning. From the super-elite Phoenix Guard and Stigmata Garrison to the millions of troopers in the House guards, Church armies, Guild security forces and local planetary militias, soldiers wearing hundreds of different uniforms are deployed in every corner of known space. Several noble houses, particularly Hazat and Decados, also produce psychic warriors, known as dervishes, although this practice is strongly condemned by the Church. Here are the templates for normal soldiers, rangers and dervishes.
