The Armies of Light and Darkness

The Armies of Light, from Prospit, and the Armies of Darkness, from Derse, are classified and shaped like chess pieces, though both armies field far, far "more "pieces" than any single chess board would have.

=The Pawns=



The Pawns of the two armies are, like in chess, the most abundant unit in the field, though they appear to be more versatile than the title "pawn" would make them appear to be. For example: They are capable of battlefield insertion via repelling from a high-speed flying vehicle. They have been seen carrying swords and spears as weapons, but in their battlefield scenes, the background effects make it seem that some groups of Pawns may carry firearms.

Curiously, the Pawns seem to have minds and wills of their own, as evidenced by many setting aside their differences and allying with the Warweary Villein in order to overthrow the Black King.

=The Rooks=

The Rooks appear to be horrifically mutated Pawns, with ripped Pawn uniforms and grotesquely miss-shaped muscular bulges all over their torsos. Most noteable about the Rooks are the enormous, castle-shaped hunches on their backs. Whether intentional or not, they share visual similarities to the Left 4 Dead Tank infected.

=The Bishops=

Only seen standing near the Black King, it is uncertain what the Bishops are capable of. They are dressed like mages to some extent.

=The Knights=

The only Knight seen so far in the Armies was fielded by the Dark Army. The Knights seem to be ENORMOUS war-horses, whose hoof-steps can knock smaller units off their feet, and crush several.

=Un-named Units=

Humanoid
Fighting the Black Knight and seen in a silhouette behind the Black King is a humanoid unit that does not seem to match up with any chess piece. As seen fighting the Black Knight, the humanoid has all the Prototyping traits the Kings, and as seen in the background, it is even larger than the Knight units.

Dropships
Both armies fielded gray, trapezoidal vessels with the Skaia symbol printed large on their undersides. These vessels have been seen both dropping combat troops via-repelling line, as well as having dogfights with one another. Most peculiar about these ships is that they look exactly the same on both sides of the conflict. There are also several other gray ships visible in the aerial battle, but their shapes and sizes are difficult to determine.

Capital Ships
Among the two fleets active in the skies of the battlefield, several enormous purple and yellow colored vessels are visible, presumably the carriers or battleships of the two fleets.
