The Rack

The Rack is the elite guard of the Moose Legion, analogous to the Byzantine Varangian Guard. It has a number of different names, such as The Rack, Cornibi, or The Triarch's Owsla. Respectively, it's members are known as Prongs (sing.: Prong), Cornibi (sing.: Cornibus), or Owslafil (sing.: Owslafa).

Armour
The only known organization within the Moose Legion to adhere to a uniform, the Rack utilizes custom-built armour, heavier and with greater shield capacity than standard commercially available boarding armours. Visually, they seem to take design elements primarily from ancient Earth history, with heavy influence from the Kievan Rus, and helments that look very distinctly Corinthian. Said helmets contain holographic projecters which project the image of large Mmose antlers seemingly attached to the helmet. Over the left shoulder, a small shoulder cape is worn, emblazoned with either the symbol of the Moose Legion itself, or of one of the Three Grand Alcators.

Weapons
Rack weaponry is very similar to most Moose Legion weapon choices, favoring long, slow firing energy weapons and slug-throwing side-arms with high stopping power. The Rack however, has the addition of a number of tall staff-like weapons. Official documents refer to these weapons as "Brightlances," but colloquially they seem to be known as laser-spears.

Culture
The Rack is an extreme tight-knt group of induviduals, containing both trans and cis people, in addition to a surprisingly high number of non-humans. To date, the Rack contains Tevariin, Banu, and Xian induviduals in addition to its human population. Prongs spend prolonged periods training and living in close proximity to each other, and have developed a series of complex traditions to establish a sense of identity, such a hazing ritual using the NLA Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen.
