posted this in the vote thread as well, but figure with might as well do it here too for more exposure

well dragoon gets my vote. as stated earlier there are already nightsister dragoons in game, so why not pikeman with the title too? it sounds better than the others (regardless of the final fantasy reference) and on that note what about lancer? that one is just lame (reminds me of the old robotech/macross series with that singing purple haired guy/girl), halberdier? no that just sounds lame (i would leave my sentinel tag up for sure if we get that one) and well striker all i can think of when i hear that term is soccer

From the dictionary.
Dragon= a Calvary soldier. They used pistols and sabers.

Lancer= a mounted soldier that uses a lance.

There is not mounted combat in SWG at the moment so no Dragoon or Lancer. Dragoons would be a fencer more of a pikeman. We could be a lancer if we could use a lance while mounted.

Striker= some one that strikes. There were a lot of definitions for this one but that is the one tha applies to us.

All melee profesions are strikers. I rather not have a title that fits all of the melees in thegame.

Haberdier= some one that uses a Halbard. A Halbard is an ax on a long pole.

Since the Long Vibro Ax (LVA) is a basiclay a futuristic halbard then we are halberdiers.

Ironicaly Halberdiers were used historically to break up formations of pikemen on the battlefield.
