Editing Imperio Militar del Escorpión

{{Update Needed| [[Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade]]}}

The '''Imperio Militar del Escorpión''' is the military arm of the [[Scorpion Empire]]. It was originally established by [[Escorpión Imperio]], the remnant of [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]].

It consists of the [[Clan Goliath Scorpion Touman|Clan Goliath Scorpion ''touman'']] and planetary defense forces of Clan Goliath Scorpion's garrison caste.

== Military Organization ==
Based on the concept of mixed [[Trinary|Trinaries]], Goliath Scorpion's military is extremely regimented.  Each of the six Trinary types it uses contains a mix of [[BattleMech]], [[Elemental]] and [[Aerospace fighter|aerospace]] forces, designed around a tactical specialty.<ref name=WC108>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 108</ref>

|width='400px'| 2 BattleMech Stars<br />1 Elemental Star
|width='400px'| Used to spearhead offensive operations in urban environments, the two 'Mech [[Star]]s are composed of heavy and assault machines while the Battle Armor scouts ahead to identify and destroy ambushes.
|-
|width='200px'| '''Battle Trinary'''
|width='400px'| 1 BattleMech Star<br />1 Elemental Star<br />1 aerospace Star
|width='400px'| Same unit type as adopted by [[Clan Wolf]] in [[3012]], this multirole unit combines light- to heavy-weight machines for responsive, independent battlefield operation.

|width='200px'| '''Guard Trinary'''
|width='400px'| 2 Elemental Stars<br />1 BattleMech Star
|width='400px'| This defensive formation is design to work in any environment, with the supporting 'Mech Star composed of varying weight classes.

|width='200px'| '''Specialist Trinary'''
|width='400px'| 2 Elementals Stars<br />1 aerospace Star
|width='400px'| These airmobile infantry units are built around rapid battlefield response and hot-zone paradrops.  The aerospace Star is almost exclusively composed of the [[Kirghiz]]-C variant of fighters for transport.
|-
|width='200px'| '''Striker Trinary'''
|width='400px'| 2 BattleMech Stars<br />1 aerospace Star
|width='400px'| A harassment force, these formations are made of light- to heavy-weight 'Mechs and medium-weight fighters.  Unlike aerospace Stars in other formations, those in Strikers are used for air superiority and reconnaissance rather than ground-support.
|-
|width='200px'| '''Command Trinary'''
|width='400px'| 2 BattleMech Stars<br />1 Composite Star (two Elemental [[Point]]s, one aerospace Point and two 'Mechs)
|width='400px'| This formation acts as a stable command element while also capable of delivering the final blow to an engaged enemy.
|}

Each of these six Trinary types gives way to six different [[Cluster]] formations, also designed around specific strategic needs.  In addition to their stated forces, each Cluster is led by a Command Trinary.<ref name=WC108/>

== Uniforms and Rank Insignia ==
'''Combat Dress Uniform'''

When Scorpion warriors are out of their machines, they wear a black jumpsuit with a cap bearing the Clan insignia.<ref name=FMWCp109>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 109: Clan Goliath Scorpion Uniforms</ref>

'''Field Uniform'''

The Scorpion Field Uniform consist of an armored black tunic with a dark gray shirt and pants. Dark gray gloves and black knee-high boots finish the uniform. Sometimes a black cape is added with a gray head scarf that covers the warrior's head with exception to the eyes. For head protection, the warrior wears a fur-rimmed conical helmet similar to the Mongol's of ancient Terra.<ref name=FMWCp109 />

'''Dress Uniform'''

This uniform bears a resemblance to the ancient Star League's security uniform. The dress uniform is a dark gray lightweight shirt, a black vest-coat made of ballistic cloth, gold pants and knee high black boots. A wide gold stripe run diagonally across the right breast of the coat, adorning the Clan logo. Galaxy and Cluster insignias are worn on the left breast of the coat, while rank insignia is worn on the coat's left shoulder and cuffs of the shirt. The helmet of the field uniform is carried over to the dress uniform.<ref name=FMWCp109 />

'''Ceremonial Uniform'''

The Goliath Scorpion Ceremonial uniform is made of glossy black leather, highlighted by dark gray piping that gives the uniform a segmented appearance. It gives the look of a scorpion's carapace. Finishing the look of the uniform is a black helmet with golden horse hair plume and golden Clan daggerstar for the eyes. Only Bloodnamed warriors may wear the detachable black cape trimmed in gold.<ref name=FMWCp109 />

'''Gamma Galaxy Uniforms'''

The Gamma Galaxy Uniforms are the same as the field and dress uniforms. Echoing back to the days of the Seekers, Gamma Galaxy replaces black with blood red and dark grey with gold to highlight their status as the Temple of the Nine Muses.<ref name=FMWCp109 />
