Like everything on this ship, even the soldiers wore expensive and over-the-top gear compared to regular soldiers. The traditional blacks were nowhere to be seen; these soldiers wore the grey and gold unique to this small contingent. The armour made them look huge, especially with the embellishments on the chest and shoulder. As they passed, Nate noticed both were carrying one of the deadly Sparth cannons that they'd seen Prince Kratha demonstrating on Relentless. "Nate!" He looked to his side and found Billy beckoning towards the Byotai soldier. Their armour looked exquisite, and under normal circumstances they might have spent hours examining them over and over. "I know. I've seen them on the ship already." Aliens were a constant interest to Billy, especially those in the military. Yet it was their spacecraft, weaponry, and equipment that really got them interested. Since the Alliance had expanded into the Orion Nebula, they had made contact with many alien races, and that exposure had brought them access to everything from the fearsome thermal bolts of the Byotai, to the deadly plasma weaponry of the half-bionic Khreenk.
