Soldiers are simultaneously the faceless minions of states and the warriors of the future. Beginning as mercenaries, soldiers fight for money using modern weapons such as bombs and firearms. They don't have the honor codes of traditional fighters, but are developing their own codes over time, including such things as the difference between war and peace and loyalty to causes or nations rather than a liege lord.
