The Faithful are the light footsoldiers of the Order's Pax Dei, serving as cannon fodder. Faithful have no armor, and are only armed with rebuilt carbine rifles. Their only advantage is their great numbers and their tendency to commit suicide bombings, making them dangerous against singled out enemy targets.

Background[]

Not all the followers of the Light who wish to become members of the Pax Dei are able to withstand the rigors of training. The Order, in its infinite wisdom, has found a place for these "soldiers" of the light. The Order Faithful are in technical terms, "fodder". The Faithful as a group wish only to serve the Order, and if the only way to accomplish this is by blocking gunfire with their body... so be it.

As individuals, Faithful are poorly trained and equipped for combat. They wear the lowest grade armor available to the Order, which is basically a robe laced with mesh. Faithful are armed with archaic pulse-bolt throwers with surprising function reliability. As a group however the Faithful are a sight to behold. Their units are quite large and they have absolutely no fear. Even more frightening is the tendency of the Faithful to rush a larger target, (such as a tank) and to detonate massive amounts of explosive. Thus destroying the tank, and themselves. This disregard for their own lives is what makes the Faithful so fearsome on the battlefield.

Faithful may also be armed with flechette guns, which launches a spray of foot-long metal needles at their target. These will tear through the armor of infantry and some lighter tanks.[1]
