The baseline infantry of the Collective, Peacekeepers are a relatively new development, created to bring rai troops in line with other species’ troops in terms of capabilities.
Due to their small stature and limited strength, rai are physically at a disadvantage compared to most races. As such, Peacekeepers wear a large exosuit that enhances their strength, putting them at a lifting strength of nearly 500 pounds. These suits are well-armored, coated in a layer of carbon ceramic composite armor plating, and are equipped with their own gravity shields.
As rai need both arms free in order to maintain maximum speed, they tend not to use handheld weapons. Peacekeeper suits are instead equipped with a shoulder mounted electron rifle as their primary weapon. The weapon fires intense bursts of tightly focused electrons, which burn through shields, armor, and flesh with gruesome efficiency. The rifle is guided by sophisticated targeting software in the Peacekeeper’s helmet, which follows the wearer’s eyes.
Dedicated and deadly, Peacekeepers show little mercy for their enemies, holding those who would wantonly take other’s lives in the deepest contempt.
