The Ticentec Times

The Aegis school is a sanctuary o discipline, innovation, and legacy. Designed to shape guardians of both knowledge and defense. It serves as the foundational training ground for initiates who seek to master both technical precision and emotional intelligence. Its curriculum blends tactical schematics, symbolic design, and ceremonial tradition, ensuring that every student emerges not just skilled, but deeply attuned to the values of unity, stewardship, and resilience.

Ranks

Ranks are assigned based on the position you are assigned and what status you have achieved. I will be creating more for the rank Sentinel because of different specialties but this is the basic one. These ranks are mostly realted to the Aegis school and what you would find on the grounds.

Aspirant

This is your first step to becoming a guardian. You enter with raw talent and an untested body. You have long days ahead to master all five areas of study

Vowbearer

You have shown commitment to the program. You now have a deep understanding of the creed and what it will mean for you to follow it. Your training now shifts to more physical events

Sentinel

You have proven that you are capable obeying a guardian and are ready to be a member of the Aegis circle. You have survived the Circle Trial, a multi-phase ordeal that tests every fiber of your being. You are ready to defend without compromise.

Custodian

Custodians are guides. They are semi specialists in their area and provide instructions to the trainees that come through the Aegis school. They often have real world experience, and many have been though some impressive fights or challenges.

Warden

These are the legends they have been guardians for a long time and have the most experience. Not all in fighting but each one must have proved their extensive knowledge and experience before consideration.

Areas Of Study

Guardians in the Aegis circle must master five different areas of study before they are assigned a task. The areas aren’t terribly hard to pass as there are tasks for any skill above the base. If you have higher marks, you might get assigned a more challenging task. The go getters can leave a wide offering of tasks while those with lower marks normally have 1 or 2 options.

Tactical combat and breach response

The first area is Tactical combat and breach response. This is the offensive and defensive training portion. If you hope to be a front-line fighter, this is a great area to focus on.

Breach Protocols – Trainees learn how to assess, approach, and penetrate fortified positions using both conventional and advanced methods—explosives, forced entry tools, and coordinated assault formations.

Siege Simulation Full-scale mock battles test their ability to defend under pressure, rotate positions, manage fatigue, and maintain cohesion during prolonged engagements.

Combat Formations & Movement Includes envelopment, infiltration, and flank defense tactics. Every movement is drilled to perfection, with emphasis on tempo, surprise, and audacity.

Support by Fire & Suppression Tactics Trainees coordinate with ranged units to suppress enemy advances while executing breach or defense maneuvers.

Cordon and Security Operations They learn to isolate threats, secure perimeters, and prevent breaches from within—essential for protecting high-value zones.

Every breach drill includes failure scenarios-collapsed lines, lost teammates, compromised intel- forcing trainees to adapt and recover without surrender.

Emotional Resilience

This training breaks down the mental and emotional abilities of the guardians to be and shows them how to deal with the damage. A well-rounded guardian must have a good understanding of how to deal with the non-physical side to remain able at all times.

Memory trials and grief simulation – Trainees relive simulated losses—fallen comrades, breached sanctuaries, moral failures—to build emotional endurance. These trials are designed to teach guardians how to hold pain without breaking.

Vows They craft personal vows tied to their deepest values, then undergo rituals that bind those vows to their identity. These rites reinforce purpose during moments of despair or doubt.

Resilience conditioning – This includes exposure to moral dilemmas and ethical ambiguity, training in self-compassion and recovery after failure and Exercises in vulnerability and trust-building within squads.

Philosophical integration – Trainees are required to use the Creed as a compass for any struggles that arise during their tasks. This creates a solid foundation for anyone returning to the task after failure or for challenging decisions.

Armor systems

Understanding the armor system is integral to protecting oneself from Halion even when you are not on the battlefield. Even the maintenance members of the Aegis circle are required to understand and wear a HALO. Excelling in this area can lead to being offered a position as a maintainer.

HALO system design – Trainees learn about the many different components that make up the system. They learn about mods and research to improve the armor.

Energy Management and Shielding – To keep the HALO from becoming dangerous it is important to understand the system and how to use and release the awesome energy it has. Energy is built differently by each individual set, and this means it is more like bonding with an animal than learning how to control a vehicle.

Integration – Students get to wear their armor and bond with it. They learn to move and fight with the limitations that the armor forces on them. This can be a challenging class as the HALO is restricting, and you must learn to move with the limitations.

Doctrine and Lore

This class is all about why they fight, who they serve, and what they must do.

Historical Archives – This is the study of battles, breaches, and acts of sacrifice that shaped the Aegis Circle’s legacy. Mostly case studies of guardians and their decisions, failures, and philosophies.

Ethical Warfare and Moral Dilemmas – This consists of debates on best practices and theories. Trainees are challenged to defend their choices under simulated moral pressure. This ensures that anyone who ends up on the high circle will be ready to argue for the human sect.

Applied Lore Integration – Mostly ceremonies, rites and doctrine mapping. Memorizing invocation, mottos, and ritual phrases that will make ceremonies flow smoothly. Doctrine Mapping helps to link historical events, emotional symbols, and tactical principles into a system for attacks.

Stealth, Sabotage, and Silent Defense

Easy to participate in but hard to master. Not many take this class seriously. Many guardians find this more useful for playing pranks and the like.

Silent Movement and Terrain Mastery – Movement across all surfaces in the most silent way. Lots of games are played to teach this skill.

Sabotage Protocols – Using managed energy to trick the enemy and distort their Halion sensors. There are some explosives taught but the amount of chemicals lost to thieves makes it rather difficult to justify.

Silent Defense Techniques – This is things like counter-surveillance and evading. Not extremely useful or important due to the lack of enemy coordination on a large scale.

Sorry my post got put out late this week. I don’t plan to make this a habit!
