The Queen's Guard
There is something... off about those things. They don't move, don't blink, I can't tell if they even breathe. They stand there, looking all made up, for tourists to goof about, take pictures, but I swear, there is something real wrong about those bugs. - Journals of Zan'el Mallar
Structure
The queen's guard are an elite group of soldiers ensuring Zadaikra's safety. They, alongside other parts of the queens inner circle, stand a step above other shirren in terms of need for survival. The Wings of Nakkri are divided into two sub sections:
- The Thk'ka: The closest guards of the queen. They reside on floating plates close to the body of their goddess, and remain there. From this point, they have a good view of everything on the Zadaikra vessel, all activity that can be monitored from there. This part of the guard are the top 1% of shirren, the most physically able males and females who do nothing but watch over the queen.
- The Nagh'orsk: Found on the platforms of the Zadaikra station, these members of the guard, whilst seen by the public have quick access to the queen should they be required. They are her eyes amongst the regular folk. The guards do not move, do not interact with tourists or diplomats unless it is to issue warnings or fire at anyone considered a threat to the queen.
Public Agenda
All of the queens guard live to make sure that the shirren goddess is unharmed; but also that the people basking in her presence act with humility and respect that she deserves. A secondary goal of the guard is to bring in commerce and tourism. When Zedaikra realised her guard was a popular reason for people outside of Coryza to visit her vessel, her guard became much more well dressed and publicly present to bring in extra economical gain.
Assets
There are no expenses big enough when it comes to equipping the Wings of Nakkri. Every member of the queens guard is equipped with top tier laser rifles, light ceremonial armour for ease of mobility and protection, system wide communication units and experimental shirren military technology, including telepathic enhancements, tasers aimed at disabling vesk lung function to suffocate them slowly and painfully. These guards are also in access to locking systems of the Zedaikra ship, meaning they can open any door on the vessel, including private rooms in hotels, storage units in hospitals or even prison cells, should it be the wish of the queen.
In the name of the Goddess.
