16th Sontaran Battle Fleet

The 16th Sontaran Battle Fleet is one of the most infamous Sontaran forces, and were the primary force in the latter parts of the 5th Rutan-Sontaran War.

History
Originally founded in Earth-year 1986, the 16th Sontaran Battle Fleet was one of the great shames of the empire, due to numerous military failures. It was decommissioned approximately 200 years after its founding, and the title of 16th Sontaran Battle Fleet was retired from use, whereas other fleets that were destroyed or retired were replaced with a new generation. In the 288th Century, the Sontaran Empire decided to recommission all Battle Fleets as a show of force against the Rutans in their 5th war, and so the title of '16th Sontaran Battle Fleet' was inherited by a new generation of Sontarans. Upon learning of the shame their predecessors had brought to the empire, the new generation were determined to bring honour to the name.

Appearance
The Sontarans have brown-coloured skin, with darker brown eyes. They don't have a neck, so to speak, instead having a domed head. Around their eyes, they have darker patches of skin.

All members of the 16th Battle Fleet stand at approximately 5' 2", although they each vary slightly. The tallest member of the Battle Fleet is General Mane, who is 5' 2.6", and the shortest is 5' 1.2".

The uniform of the 16th Sontaran Battle Fleet consists of a thick, dark grey suit, which has lighter grey lines running down it. It additionally has blue armour plating and boots, along with the badge of the 16th Battle Fleet. They have a large 'neck guard', which their helmets connect to. In the back of their neck guard is a hole to allow their probic vent to breathe. Their helmets are blue like the plating of their armour, with black ridges on the top and sides. A grey visor covers their eyes.

Trivia

 * All members of the renewed 16th Sontaran Battle Fleet were cloned from the same warrior, but each of their genetics were spliced with samples from other warriors to emphasise different attributes.
