Hey everyone! Been awhile since I've updated this thing huh? The entire world has been in a weird and wacky place, due to COVID-19, so I just want to say that I hope you all are staying safe and healthy!

Anyway, moving onto what I have to show you all!

As you can probably tell by the title of this part, I have extra lore to share with you! Specifically, on the separate divisions of the Shadowbyte Army. Recently I was trying to get over some writer's block, so I decided I would make some logos for each division, and sprinkle in some extra info for you all!

Now, let's get to it!

~~~~~

Infantry

First up on the list, we have the Infantry Division! This is the largest division in the entire Army, and rightfully so. Soldiers part of Infantry are sent on almost all missions, and are meant to be right on the front lines. They are some of the most well-rounded soldiers the Army has, due to their training in both armed and unarmed combat, as well as their wide variety of hacking abilities. New recruits are often sent here once their training is complete (if not to the Medical Division) to either stay in the Infantry ranks, or show their potential to be transferred to another division.

Medical

Next we have the Medical Division! People apart of it have a crucial role of missions, offering medical assistance when needed. Although they primarily use hacks to do their healing, soldiers also are given an extensive amount of medical training, getting more complicated as they advance through the ranks. New recruits are sometimes sent here once their training is complete (if not to the Infantry Division) to either stay in the Medical ranks, or show their potential to be transferred to another division.

Science

Double double, toil and trouble! Next up is the Science Division! This division is one of the few that doesn't send its members into combat. Instead, these guys focus primarily on research, experimenting, and things of the like. They work closely with the Medical and Engineering Divisions, developing new and improved items for them to use. For example, they might research and develop more potent potions for the Medical Division, or stronger materials for the Engineering Division to make weapons with. As more code is generated over time in the form of Updates, and new items, materials, and/or creatures are generated in Worlds, the Science Division is researching them as fast as possible.

Engineering

Grab your wrenches and hammers, folks, cuz we're now onto the Engineering Division! These guys are the Shadowbyte Army's main source of weaponry and equipment, from the smallest sword to the most powerful mech. They are skilled in redstone, craftsmanship, and operating machinery. They work closely with the Science Division, getting new and stronger materials in exchange for more advanced research equipment. The Engineering Division also goes hand in hand with the Medical Division, primarily with the development of cybernetics. When sent out into the fray of battle, they primarily operate weaponized mechs, but can also fill in the role of a standard soldier well.

Cyber

Time to go over what is probably one of the most underrated divisions in the Army; the Cyber Division! These guys focus primarily on three different things. First off, they're some of the best informants the Army has, and they can dig up any dirt on anyone from anywhere at anytime. Secondly, they're highly skilled at altering a World's code, making the most powerful Cyber soldiers lethal in combat (if their hacks are used correctly), as well as being very useful when it comes to infiltrating Worlds and getting past firewalls and firms of malware. Last, but not least, the Cyber Division specializes in creating new types of hacks. Every so often, they'll release a new hack for the Shadowbyte Army to use, and usually improve the Army's functionality in some way.

Logistics

This division's role may not be as intense or combat focused as the rest, but it's no less important. Say hello to the Logistics Division! These guys control the flow of raw materials, finances, and supplies that go in and out of each of the Army's bases and locations that they occupy. They also work closely with the Command Division to determine where soldiers will be stationed.

Special Ops

Of course, I couldn't go through this lost without going over my personal favorite of the eight divisions! Yes, everyone, it's the Special Ops Division! The soldiers assigned to this division are the best of the best, in terms of combat and stealth. They're assigned the most dangerous and important missions, from stopping the spread of deadly malware and glitches spreading from World to World, to taking down the most corrupt organizations and governments that threaten the lives of the innocent, Special Ops soldiers do it all. They are considered to be the crown jewel of the Army by many, for their skill, valor, and bravery.

Command

Finally, we have the top dogs of the Shadowbyte Army... The Command Division! The purpose of these guys is pretty straightforward; they command which soldiers are sent out on what missions, and when they are deployed. This is by far the smallest division in the entire Army, but rightfully so. Not many soldiers have the potential to command a large amount of soldiers with minimal problems, and deal with the politics that come with it. At the very top of the entire Command Division is none other than Ecryptos himself, the man who started it all years prior to the present time in the story.

And that's the last of them, folks! Hope you all enjoyed this not-so-little tidbit of extra lore for the storyline! It may not be essential to the story itself, but I'm happy to share it with you all nonetheless xD
