"Are you not entertained?!" - Maximus Decimus Meridius, "Gladiator" (2000)
Overview
The gladiators are a fearsome fighting force, despite their main purpouse being to entertain. They are equipped with powerful combat swords, riot shields, a lamp for light, specific equipment for each fighting role as well as varying degrees of armour, ranging from almost nonexsistent to increadibly powerful.
Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered spectators an example of Ancient Earth's Roman martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well, they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim.
Standing Orders
The gladiators are usually given a task to complete, if not, they are expected to simply fight to entertain others.
