Invid mecha and soldiers waiting for the Regent

The Invid Army were the legions of the Regent and Regis, the mecha and robots that conquered or destroyed worlds. It was a force of millions and perhaps billions at the height of Invid power. Which were based at Hives, were they were commanded by either the Regent or Regis, an Invid Brain, or an Invid commander (e.g. Sladek). It was Invid armies that formed the garrisons of conquered worlds, defending the Hives, working the Protoculture farms and processing plants, operating the Genesis Pits, patrolling territory, and suppressing opposition.

The most common mecha were the Scouts and the Armored Scouts. Like worker bees, they patrolled the skies, looking for protoculture and enemies. Next most common were the Troopers and Shock Troopers. Who served as the foot soldiers and strongmen of the army. In addition to combat they were used for heavy labor, guarding and working at protoculture farms and processing plants, capturing rebels, policing and monitoring native settlements, and patrolling hostile areas.

Enforcers were stage 4 invid pilots in power armor who enforced the will of the Regent or Regis. Being intelligent and able to make independent decisions, they commanded units of Invid mecha and Inorganics, served as Hive Guards, worked as specialists, and liaison with invid sympathizers. They answered to the Regent and Invid Brains, and served as Hive Guards. An elite force called the "Red Enforcers" were the Regent's personal guard. Enforcers were outnumbered by the scouts and troopers by 1000 to one or more. They answered directly to the Regent or Regis, or the Hive Brain, who were able to possess and directly control a few Enforcers when needed.

Within the Regent's army were the Inorganics, which were created through Invid alchemy. Robot-like creations that felt neither emotion or pain. It's was an army of drones commanded by Enforcers, an Invid Brain, or the Regent himself. There were no Inorganics in the Regis' army, she had Pincer Command Units and Royal Command Battleloids. The Pincer Command Unit had an intelligent pilot that was able to assimilate data and make decisions. It lead scouts and troopers, who outnumbered them by the dozens. The Royal Command Battloids were piloted by human-like invid pilots, the Simulagent. In the Invid army, they were the deadliest mecha, equal to either an Alpha or Beta Veritech in battloid mode. Royal Command were minority, being only one in several hundred invid mecha.
