The Athor Combined Defense Command (ACDC) is the combined militia of Yast and Exib in the Athor system. Each planet rules itself but they cooperate to present a unified system militia.<br /><br />For a long time it was a strictly non void capable militia, operating fighters, shuttles and the yakka class sloop.<br /><br />The uniform colors of the ACDC warriors is black with silver trim. they more than stand out planet side and this makes performing your civil service obligation in the militia very desirable. BDU is alternately a black with gray trim skein suit or a camo pattern optimized for the outback of Exib or Yast.<br />An important part of the warrior's kit is his kahdan honor sword worn on the side or across the back. Warriors are allowed to use a kahdan presented by their clan if it's "honor" is significant but most take immense pride in carrying a kahdan emblazoned with the militia coat of arms or crest.<br /><br />Thus in the Warrior's theme song "Back in the Black" there is a double meaning: back in the black uniform and back in the black of space which both refer to a return to service.<br /><br />The yakka bear is their mascot, a territorial omnivore <br /><br /><b>"Back in the Black"</b><br />Set to the tune of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA<br /><br />We're back in the black cause the odds are stacked,<br />Against our worlds, there aint no turning back.<br />We've been set loose <br />And we cannot lose.<br />We heard the warrior call <br />And stand or Fall we'll give our all.<br />There aint no dishonor to die<br />No one will take our sky<br />The Battle Rage has us running wild.<br /><br /><i>chorus:<br /></i>Cause we're Back in the black<br />On the Yakka Attack<br />We wont turn our back<br />No matter how the odds are stacked<br />Well, we're back, back<br />Yes we're back in the black<br />We wont turn our backs.<br />
