Syth
The Syth are a warrior race that were conquered by the Azuli Confederation. They are humanoid, but have a tough brownish-orange skin, are naturally extremely muscular, and have a vicious look to them that has been described as a "natural snarl".
Syth warriors are commonly heavily armored, wearing their thick armor as other races might wear their service uniforms. The typical color of armor is a reddish-orange similar to their skin, though officers and special units can often wear other colors to denote their status.
Unlike many subjugated races, by being beaten in battle, the Syth accepted the Azuli as their masters is their custom. The Syth now serve as special infantry forces (always led by Azuli officers), and they are vicious in battle and the Azuli consider them expendable.
Encounters with Syth
- Mike Houghtaling and Vada Laney encountered a troop of Syth Warriors at Naval Anchorage Rook in the Grafton System and engaged them briefly. While making their escape, the transport containing the Syth warriors was Destroyed by Royal Fortune.
- When Azzah Rasha, Jerry Heberling and John Wyson first awoke aboard Lady Destiny/Princess Emilie, there was a Syth warrior in one of the sleeper pods as well. They killed him and ejected him into space before he could wake up.
