Dragoon Code of War

All Dragoons, regardless of Clan, are taught the Dragoon Code of War as soon as they enter the academy.

It partly serves as a manifesto for the Dragoon race. But it is mainly a code of ethics for Dragoons to follow, especially in regards to combat.

Dragoon Ten Commandments
The Dragoon Ten Commandments are a focal point of the Code.
 * 1) You are the chosen ones of all creation. You shall seek combat and train yourselves to endure any manner of test. To you, battle shall be the fulfillment.
 * 2) Cultivate true comradeship, for by the aid of your comrades you will conquer or die.
 * 3) Beware of talking. Be not corruptible. Men act while beasts bray. Senseless noise may bring you to the grave.
 * 4) Be calm and prudent, strong and resolute. The valour and enthusiasm of an offensive spirit will cause you to prevail in the attack.
 * 5) The most precious thing in the presence of the foe is ammunition. He, who shoots uselessly, merely to comfort himself, is a man of straw who merits not the title of Dragoon.
 * 6) Never surrender; to you death or victory must be a point of honour.
 * 7) You can triumph only if your weapons are good. See to it that you submit yourself to this law - first thy weapon, then thyself.
 * 8) You must grasp the full purpose of every enterprise, so that if your leader is killed you can fulfill it.
 * 9) Against an open foe, fight with chivalry, but to a guerrilla, extend no quarter.
 * 10) Keep your eyes wide open. Tune yourself to the utmost pitch. Be nimble as a greyhound, tough as leather, hard as steel. You shall be the warrior incarnate.

"One man can be overcome. But two can stand back to back and conquer. Three is even better, for a three-ply cord is not easily broken.""When you run alone, you run fast. When you run together, you run far."
