Terran Integrated Experimental Response: TIER
The Terran Integrated Experimental Response Corps The
Terran
Integrated
Experimental
Response Corps or
TIER, unlike other military units within the SPA, is a Semi Type-5 Tech, top-secret, special task force established by the current circle of SPA leadership during the wake of the M-S War, which severely devastated the local sector and destroyed a considerable portion of the SPA's central command structure. Known only to the SPA's highest circle of leadership, TIER was designed for highly aggressive counter operations against "Them" and other high level threats. Because of the extreme challenge inherent in their task, TIER is authorized to employ the latest reverse-engineered Terran-Ixian military technologies available to the organization. In line with this, they are capable of tapping the immense potential found within the ancient art of Terran-Ixian Programming.
Also, due to the highly advanced nature of the corps, only the best of the best within the SPA are ever given the golden opportunity to be a part of the organization. This is partly one of the reasons why TIER, for it's place in the military heirarchy, is one of the smallest organizations in the SPA.
Another thing to note is that TIER is predominantly Choro Deidalus, due to their races' innate interest and skill in highly advanced technology. They still haven't gotten the hang of eating metallic sandwiches, however, much to their dismay.
ARSENAL

Left: TEC Trooper. Right: SPA Standard Choro Deidalus Combat Trooper. A highly augmented TIER version of the SPA Standard Choro Deidalus Combat Trooper, the
Terran
Enhanced
Combat Trooper is clad in Program imbued, flight-capable power armor and sporting a large, multi-purpose energy cannon, they are able to storm into the battlefield and take out enemy forces with a high level of precision, power, defense and overall flexibility.

Mobile
Particle
Cannon
System or MPCS is TIER's main battle tank. As it's name implies, it is a mobile platform for TIER's medium-scale
Particle
Cannon
System or PCS. Run almost completely on Terran Programs, it is one of the most advanced vehicles in the SPA's arsenal. However, it's advancements are completely overshadowed by the other more advanced weapons in the corps technologically centered arsenal.

Left: MPBS. Right: MPBS creating a particle barrier. The
Mobile
Particle
Barrier
System or MPBS is the defense-oriented counterpart to TIER's main battle tank. When broken down to it's primary components, the MPBS is completely identical to the MPCS, save for it's primary function. The MPBS is equipped with a high-strength, medium-range
Particle
Barrier
System used to shield other units in the battlefield.
A single MPBS can mean the difference between life and death for a group of TEC Troopers surrounded by extremely thick hostile forces.
- Laviuon Multi-purpose Fighter Unit

Left: Laviuon Multi-purpose Fighter Unit. Right: Laviuon firing it's weapons. The Laviuon is TIER's multipurpose fighter unit. It is capable of reaching extreme levels of combat flexibility and is rumored to outmatch even an entire squadron of Orealyianis Variable Armors.
Named after an Aguilarian avian which performs *controlled self immolation when threatened, the Laviuon's fiery dogfighting skills doesn't disappoint.
*Just goes to show the lengths Aguilaria's fauna will take to prove to other fauna in the sector how garish they are.- Athanatsu-class Command Carrier

Left: Athanatsu-class Command Carrier. Right: Prototype version. Fashioned in the image of the late Starship Athanatsu, the Athanatsu-class Command Carrier is, simply put, a miniature version of a standard Terran-Ixian Starship. Externally, it is more or less ten kilometers in diameter. However, inside the ship's interior, the carrier is more or less ten times as large as that, utilizing Terran-Ixian compression programs to achieve this end. The voluminous space is used to store all kinds of military assets utilized by TIER.
Using one of it's three Athanatsu-class Command Carriers, TIER can quickly project it's power wherever it is needed in the sector, and if necessary, beyond it.
Despite it's massive potential, the Athanatsu-class Command Carriers have never been fielded in actual combat due to the lack of targets with a high enough threat level.

Left: The Illuminator. Right: Prototype version. The crowning glory of TIER. The physical manifestation of their very purpose. The Illuminator.
Named after the pivotal metaphysical process of enlightenment in Terran-Ixian philosophy, the Illuminator is the ultimate means of unrivaled power within the SPA's arsenal of weaponry.
Sporting five processor-embedded legs capable of calling forth wave upon wave of devastating programs with each of it's massive steps, it leaves in it's wake a battlefield littered with whatever may remain of surface-based opposition. With it's three massive articulated hands, it welcomes airborne threats with a flurry of destruction, wiping them off the skies from whence they came.
For those who were lucky enough to escape, there is little reprieve for them as the machine is also capable of short to medium-distance Hyperlinking.
However, it's most devastating instrument of all does not come from it's colossal feet nor it's monstrous arms. It comes, of all places, from it's "eye". The Illuminator's "eye" is actually but a minor protrusion of it's massive central processing unit. A data processing matrix that is phased out and compressed by a multistage system of programs to allow the machine a much more stable frame while retaining it's devastating combat capabilities.
For all of it's greatness, however, there is one kink in the system which has yet to be resolved by even the greatest minds of the sector: The machine
chooses it's pilots...
The Illuminator's main control system was reverse-engineered from Terran-Ixian mind-operated consoles. It is the only known way for a biological organism to be able to pilot such a complex machine. Whether the selective nature of the system is due to Terran-Ixians being the only ones suitable for it or for some other reason is still quite unclear. Regardless, there seems to be a trend for people following philosophies bearing great resemblance to the Terran-Ixian Universal Law to have a higher level of compatibility with he system. Unfortunately, even for those within the plausible criteria of pilots, only a select few are capable of reaching a level of compatibility over ninety-five percent, the minimum level of required compatibility. This small pool of fortunate pilots are the ones tasked with piloting TIER's pride and glory.
TIER only produced one Illuminator, for fear of the device causing untold destruction if not kept in check. In line with this, the Illuminator's complete blueprints and lone prototype are stored within the deepest confines of the SPA's labyrinthine arsenal.
That's about it, for now, I guess.
