History
"TEMPLARS ONWARD!"

-The order given by Fergus, the first Templar, in the famous forlorn charge. Which later on became the battlecry of the Templars

Armored in the finest powered armor the UCA offers, colored grey as ashes, with a sword as long as their wielder is tall, their guttural yell as they charge shaking the resolve of their foe and their charge strong enough throw men and women off their feet as they sword easily cuts through their ranks like wheat before a scythe, their blades said to be so sharp that limbs sever at mere sight. The Templars are the pride of the UCA, where it's known that when a squad enters the battlefield, victory follows.

Despite being known as one of the UCA deadliest infantry forces its history is rather recent, assuming one ignores the greatsword soldier that had formed the base of the Templars.

Back in the beginning of time they were simply known as shock troopers, who wielded iron clubs that was roughly shaped like a sword, who were tasked with breaking apart a rival clans shieldwall, and back then didn't wore any armor, some records even say that they fought with nothing but their sword, due to its bulk. But were simply known as specialist soldiers.

The Templar truly began to formed when the Tuatha Empire came into being. As during this time the first emperor had began to turn these clans of soldiers into a proper army, from setting up forges to give these men and women standardised weaponry and armor to training them to fight in larger formation, he began to look into the shock troopers and found them quite lacking.

At first he disbanded them, as with the invention of the musket these warriors became more of a liability, until midway through his campaign to unite the clans he came to conquer the Stoneshield clan. At first he thought the Stoneshield was easy to capture only to find out that they had managed to create steel armor and shield, back when the other clans had to make do with raw iron, where his forces guns and cannons harmlessly bounced off the warriors shieldwall as they advance while under fire, before charging in and decimating his less experienced soldier. And it had seemed like his empire would fall, as his army was pushed back and the other clans began losing faith in him. Until the fateful battle came.

It all started with Finn Mac'Roich, the chieftain of the Blackblades clan, who was angered by the decree, for his clan was famous for their shock troopers, and as he saw the emperor losing ground he saw an opportunity to show him the wrath of the shock trooper.

(insert rest of lore here at some point)

But the Templar truly became what they are now by the famous forlorn charge.

As the Reclaimer began bombarding the remnants of the empire with their hyperion the remnant had soon found out where the control center was, in the heart of the Reclaimers new base in their former capital, and realized that if they could take control of it, even for a second, they can easily overload the satellite and turn the beam against them, thus stopping the bombardments. But it was heavily defended, covered in many walls and killzones manned by thousands of clones that it was considered a suicide mission. nd yet a man volunteered.

Fergus, once serving the dead empire, then the Reclaimers under Desmond, and finally the remnants, took up the mission. And with 200 of his most strongest Linebreakers he marched towards the capital, knowing that they will die, but giving their people a chance to survive.

And during that moment is a famous tale, spoken through history and among Templars. As Fergus and his forces charged, their yell drowning out their fear, as they began carve a path to the control center. Even as Fergus witness his soldiers, brothers and sisters he fought through this bloody war, fall before him, his sword beginning to dull with the blood of clones, and his armor began breaking apart until he, alongside 49 soldiers, had manged to breached into the relay station. And as the remant began to hack the hyperion his forces held out against the oncoming forces. And by the time the Hyperion was hacked, its beam now pointing directly above the Reclaimers base, Fergus was the last survivor, too wounded to stand, his sword broken, and reduced to his bodysuit he smiled. Knowing that his action had gave his people a chance to survive, before being reduced to ashes as the Hyperion fired. Destroying the Reclaimers surface base, maiming three of its infamous commanders, and sending the hyperion crashing backdown onto Kalran.
