This article is about the Venezian mercenary super soldiers. For the character, see Janissary James.

A Janissary (plural "Janissaries")[1] is a Venezian mercenary super-soldier.[2]

History

Creation

Venezia uses home-grown mercenaries as candidates for their super-soldier program.[2]

Equipment

Janissaries are known to use the ASSAILER-class armor,[3] BOGGART-class armor,[4] CONQUEROR-class helmet with the Banished Red Cornet Command Network Module,[1] and TASKMASTER-class armor.[5]

Roles

While Janissaries allied with the Banished are rarely given with front-line roles, some of them take those roles as the quickest way to gain access to even more augmentation procedures.[6]

Trivia

  • The Janissaries were members of the elite infantry units that were part of the Ottoman Empire's army.
