Troop is the name given to a NPC or avatar holding a passenger berth on board a spacecraft. Troops are also drafted into service as city defense forces.

Avatar Troop

When an avatar holds a troop berth on board a spacecraft it has authority over the turrets of the ship. It is also responsible for the defense of their vessel, in case it is being boarded by intruders.

While there is no berth for troops on a planet. However, an avatar could join the planetary defense force's fight, to repel an enemy attack and protect a city. In this case, the avatar would have to defend the different flag position within the city, using their weapon, to shoot hostile forces.

NPC Troop

Troops are soldiers in charge of defense. Troops can use all armor types and handheld weapons.

Troops spawn with the best armor and handheld weapon available from their spawning city. Weapon preference is as follows:

1. Laser Rifle
2. Laser Pistol
3. Кала́шников
4. Rifle
5. Pistol
6. Knife
7. Hammer

Troops gain rank as a result of accumulating experience points. As rank increases, their skill increases.

City Stationed Troops

Citizens are drafted into military service as city defense forces. The amount is limited to 5 per flag (town square and military flags) or 1/7th of the population, whichever comes first.

One troop is stationed to defend each flag in the city, if a troop dies a replacement will spawn immediately until there is no troops left in reserve.

Troops will man military buildings if enough military flags are present in the city.

The best available handheld weapons and armor is given out to stationed troops periodically.

Spacecraft Troops

Troops will operate the turrets or stand guard at specific locations on their stationed spacecraft. Troops that exceed the turret or guard duties will stay in the barracks and wait for vacancy, they will however also chase down intruders.

Ordering a troop to garrison will cause the troop desert if ordered to garrison any location other than a military flag. When garrisoning a military flag, the troop will join the city's forces.
