Zoider Castes

Overview
As a militaristic race, Zoider society is divided into a rigid caste system, with the military elite ruling over the lower ranking soldiers and military adjuncts such as scholars and diplomats, with the common farmers and laborers firmly at the bottom.

Zoider Castes

 * Terroch: Warrior kings; those who control a Giga-Core, their own robot, and a lead warship of the armada. The highest political position.
 * Med'racht: Knights; those who lead the landing parties and who control a shard. They pride themselves as the head of the invasion force.
 * Mer'drar: Soldiers; those who follow the Knights into battle. Those who do fall in battle are considered failures, yet those who live a long life full of conquests can ascend to become Med'rachts.
 * Vek'song:  Military bards, historians, and ambassadors. Those who celebrate and meditate upon the conquests of the armada. They can be reborn as Mer’drar, should they become enlightened to the glory of conquest.
 * Ver'drar: Farmers and providers. Those whose blood oils the gears of the armada. Those who are not directly participating in the military are relegated to this lowest caste, including humans that have become accepted amongst Zoiders. Though they may be kind amongst their own, they’re little more than slaves to the armada at large. Their greatest feat will be to sustain the military.
