Information on Sparta, General

Sparta is led Bruno Ziskey, who sought to create a military roleplay group that did not grief others, and would compete against other groups using scripted Hit Point Counters. It was originally started by Ares Artizar, who had but one goal: destroy the Alliance Navy. Ares began to recruit others who would fight the AN, but did not make his group official, thus concealing it. However, Bruno Ziskey saw that this destructive behavior was irrational, as the Alliance Navy was not evil. Bruno removed Ares Artizar from power and moved Sparta to be an official group, with many branches in it.

It has not been easy to convince the Alliance Navy that Sparta was not seeking to destroy the AN (especially since everything in Second Life is virtual, thus it is impossible to actually "destroy" it). However, Bruno made friends with some in the AN, and got them to see he honestly wanted to create a non-griefing group that would compete against other military groups with organization, fair play, and respect of the enemy.

Crowning himself the king of Sparta, Bruno decreed that there would be four main branches of Sparta:

Phalanx The Phalanx are the infantry of Sparta, a bit like Marines. They are highly trained, and armed with goodies such as the Judicator Assault Rifle, Athena Jump Pack, 3D HUD Radar, BC-42 Rocket Launcher, and deployable Hydra Plasma Artillery Cannon. Led by Archon Basileus Tre Giles, with Enomotarch Tyler Stein as his second in command.

Sparta Mechanized Division The Mechanized Division is a sub branch of the Spartan Phalanx. The Mechanized Division operates the mech walkers, tanks, and APCs of Sparta. Leading this sub branch is the Mech General Hayato Moy, known for his high quality builds which have helped Sparta grow and improve. In order to join the Mechanized Division, however, one must have been in the Phalanx for a month.

Air Force The Spartan Air Force (SAF) is responsible for protecting the Phalanx on the ground, and the Spartan Navy in the air (or space, given the roleplay). The SAF has the Hermes Hoverbike, Apollo Gunship, the Hyperion Fighter-Bomber, and the Zeus Strikecraft. All of these have their important weapons, and all pilots are trained in all sorts of tactics, whether it be against ground units, or flying ones. Led by Air General Eragon Thielt.

Spartan Navy Well known as the most powerful branch in Sparta, the Spartan Navy (SN) ensures that no enemy ships can attack Sparta without serious retribution. Besides engaging other ships, the SN support the Phalanx on the ground with their bombardment cannons. The Spartan Navy has many ships, from the Hydra-Class Corvette, to the monstrous Guided Judgement-Class Wrath of Sparta, the personal command ship of King Bruno Ziskey. The ships in the SN, however are mainly classed based on the power and number of their weapons and speed, not their size. Led by Grand Admiral jakkar Lok.

Spartan Engineers The infamous Spartan Engineers (SE) are led by the ingenius Grand Engineer Cloud Shackle. The SE are responsible for making sure that Spartan technology is always improving. A separate branch the the SE is the Reverse-Engineering Department, where captured enemy technology is integrated with Spartan technology.

Although relatively young, Sparta is a group that promises and demands respect to all Spartans, no matter how different they may be. To join Sparta means joining a group that constantly trains its members, as well as having to follow orders from higher rank Spartans. People who are unable to respect others and take commands should not join Sparta, as they will not survive long.

Xairete!
