Thus far there are only 2 4th gen models and the airborne is the only one ready for service until I can drag the Centurion out of it's uncanny valley.(09-16-2015, 08:16 PM)Surge Wrote: Hmmmm I can't figure out what to call the new Tecarian airborne droid.

If you're following through with the Greek naming theme, how about Manticore, Medusa, or Zeus? Also, if you think up another heavy unit, consider using Polyphemus.

I'm struggling to think of any iconic group of warriors known for their mobility though, I don't want to dip into the obscure for this.

I think some medieval/Napoleonic cavalry might work, I don't like how Cossack sounds so I'm leaning towards Hussar or Dragoon.
