Soldier Type: Gladiators.

Gladiators are melee-focused super soldiers of the Paragon military, the result of Project Spartacus.

Gladiators have been physiologically enhanced with a drug injected into their bloodstream. This gives them enhanced speed, enhanced strength, agility, durability, reflexes, endurance, survivability, etc, even regeneration. They wear thick body armor as additional protection against damage, and their helmets are exceptionally durable, able to withstand incredible amounts of force, and specially designed to block mentally/neurally focused attacks.

Gladiators are trained from birth in many forms of hand-to-hand combat, and can wield a variety to different melee weapons, such as dual swords, bladed gauntlets and electric quarterstaffs. Some Gladiators have wrist-mounted blasters as backup, but can also have retractable wrist swords and energy shields. A single Gladiator can be as deadly has an entire army.
