Imperial Barbarian (Dragonstar)
 |
While Imperial Barbarian may seem like a contradiction in terms, the Dragon Empire has conquered many worlds with proud warrior cultures. Most have adapted to the technology of the Empire while retaining some of their tradtions. For a barbarian, it is the honor and skill of a warrior that is important, not the might of the Imperial Legions.
While these barbarian sometimes serve in the Imperial Legions, they are more often pirates and raiders. Barbarians take great pride in their culture and traditions. They never abandon their old gods. They refuse to refer to them by the generic titles of the Unification Church, and they never give up their traditional religious practices.
In a more general sci-fi campaign setting, the barbarian class can be used to represent warrior cultures such as the Klingons in Star Trek or Luxans in Farscape.
