Their proper term is Humanoid Warfare Droids, though they are commonly referred to as Humadroids by members of various gangs. Citizens just consider them the police or any other robot used for mundane or otherwise pointless tasks.
These droids are mass produced (to some extent, due to their price and the spendy services required) at various LOE facilities. The biggest shipments come from the largest of the facilities, located in Ontario, Canada. Located near the city line of Streak City (modern day Toronto).
Human subjects come from the high-esteemed St. Liberty Private Military School (PreK-12), near the capital of Quebec. Exemplary children of military families, and child-savants around he world are shipped there as exchange students. Upon the legal gaurdians signing of contracts their memories are wiped, and any record of their children are erased from all databases.
Children are trained vigorously in both combat and educational requirements on six day school weeks. Such combat training includes increasing the time the student can hold their breath, disarming an enemy in shorter spans of time, trained to resist hypothermia and heat stroke (or pretty much anything nature could throw at them), and learning to use bizarre and brutal weapons. They are also slowly and inconspicuously mentally conditioned to not see the after effects or consquences of whatever order they are given from superiors.
Some students (dubbed 'Hauts' by lesser students, though headmasters and teachers do not see this as a fit title.) recieve less conditioning (until graduation), and are given minor mutations around freshman year. Students who are generally picked to be Hauts have high GPAs, and show great potential and maturity in training and social dilemmas.
Another fact to be noted is that teen pregnancy is highly encouraged at St. Liberty. Children of students are also enrolled, unless considered inferior or not metantally and physically capable.
Not even a day after graduation, students are gassed and brought to the LOE, where they are robotically enhanced and mentally conditioned further. The first vertebrae - closest to their skull - is replaced with a circular drive of sorts. The drive limits the droids human actions when activated for combat or other services, it also provides a majority of the abilities a constant recharge. Skin is given a thin metallic underside, and bones are infused with alloys, to keep laceration and injury to a minimum. In most droids, blood is completely drained and wires are fit into stregnthened veins and arteries to make a sort of circuit instead - the heart more like the battery that keeps their internal drive going - and making fatigue a rare occasion. Eyes are operated on to increase accuracy and for taking in the battlefeild without hardly a pause. Busts are reduced in women droids to increase manurveurability and decrease distraction, any sensory to sexual organs is completely eliminated. (Mind you, they are mass produced, so these operations are done on a sort of factory assembly line. And mistakes are not an uncommon sight.) Then the new droids are seperated into the ten clasifications available. Hauts are usually placed in Alpha, Beta, or Gamma. Placement tests on consciousness, strength, and ablility are used on non-elites to place them in the other Squadrons.
Squadrons consist of 25 droids, and one general. Generals are the Humadroids that are granted special capabilities, are given less conditioning so they may keep some human intuition in situations without clear orders, and aren't usually in the front lines unless squadron count begins to dwindle. Squandrants consist of four Squandrons. Squadrons can be mixed and matched to create the desired Squadrant for a large battle.
Sub-Squadrons are the excess Squadrons ones that are manufactured after the original Squadron. And are classified with a letter from the Enlish alphabet with each new Sub-Squadron. For example; the fourth Squadron made would be Squadron-Alpha-D.
Squadrants are classified with a different code-name deoending on the combination of Squadrons. For exmaple; a Squadrant consisting of one Elite Squadron one Scout Squadron and two Soldier Squadrons is called Squadrant Battlefield.
Alpha through Gamma (the Elite Squadrons) are generally Humadroids that have capabilities and enhancements that can better them specifically in battle. And are usually meant for heavy fights, and perimeter checks. They have the least human attributes, and little consciousness (if any), and are dedicated to the mission and will do nothing else but what ordered to do. This makes them susceptible to sudden backtracking or cancellation confusing and stalling them. They are extremely durable, consisting mostly of robotic parts made of strong (but usually spendy) metals and alloys. They have the strongest and most complicated abilities (attributes include, but are not limimted to; teleportation, duplication, and camoflauge), so they are the most expensive Humadroids to assemble. And they have only 9 sub-squadrons of them in existence. [This information cannot be confirmed - there may be more sub-squadrons that have not been registered or confirmed.]
Scouts
Delta through Omicron (the Scout Squadrons) are considered "inside job" droids. They rarely see combat, and do not have attributes that would aid them in battle usually, (abilities include hacking and disabling things, with a sort of telepathy; and the ability to absorb surrounding electricity on the defensive/sometimes offensive). They tend to have the most access to public and secured databases. These Humadroids are still taught basic combat though, because unlike The higher generation squadrons, they are not very durable, but have remarkable agility and stamina. So they are generally used for stealth operations and help on the sidelines in combat. However, because of constant connection to radio transmission stations and databases to update mission objectives - they can be easily caught by surprise, because of their relatively poor hearing, and slightly slowed reaction times. There are estimated to be 18 sub-sqaudrons of these Humadroids existing.
Soldiers
Pi through Omega (the Soldier Squadrons) are basically the expendable foot soldiers in the frontlines. Used for battles where quantity overpowers quality in the fighters amongst the battle. Made from the cheapest materials possible and assembled the quickest - it is obvious what their weaknesses are. Much more human in consciousness (which has to do with the substantial lack of technologic mutation compared to other Squadrons.), they have a strong sense of fear - but are very self-aware and can act better out of self-preservation than other droids. Rather than walking into battle with just an order. They will think for themselves to an extent. But conditioning helps them refrain from mutinous, impulsive and cowardly acts. The average soldier droid last around one to twelve months, (as compared to the Scout's 24 - 56 month lifespan, and the Elite's 95 - 120 moth lifespan) they are not known for their indespensability and long victory reviews. General's atributes are usually used to effect the enviroment instead of themselves. Servicing the higher up droids rather than themselves. (Atributes include a resticted form of telekinesis, and technopathy.) The Sub-Squadron count is not definite, but surely substantially larger than the others.
Uniform Uniforms consist of skin-tight, light grey jumpsuits. Suits are flame-retardant, climate-adjusting, and can withstand great wear and tear during fights for flexibility. Collars and sleeves are trimmed with squadron color. Flexible - but tough - darker grey boots that end just below the knee with Squadron color accents are also worn. Depending on Squadron and terrain, thin armors, insulations, or cooling agents are worn.
Squadron symbol and serial number/barcode are printed on the back.
Squadron General Uniform Generals wear similar outfits, but instead the colors are inverted. They wear much darker jumpsuits with a thin silver lining next to the Squadron color. Collars on the jumpsuits are raised to cover the entire neck. And boots are similar to the color of average droids uniform, instead of the darker grey boots.
Alpha-Squadron Squadron color: Luminous Dark Blue
Eye Design: Triangular irises/pupils
