My notes on the Regen Inf [from my website]
Decades before the Time War officially began, the House Military begins to form after several Houses argue that the Watch and the Chancellery Guard are an inadequate defense force. Under the guidance of the Master, the House Military takes the form of an intimate and exclusive group of the more aggressive and pro-active Houses. This army is commanded by the Time War Council. The War Council is destinguished with a different type of ceremonial collar. The standards for becoming a Junior Time Lord are reduced so that recruitment quotas can be met. Warriors receive only basic training in temporal theory and TARDIS operation. Training now takes less then a century. It is organized into divisions based on time of creation rather then the specialty of skill or field of operation. Each generation is called a Wave. The events of the War are numbered by the number of the Wave involved in them. The First Wave of the House Military is produced. It is made up of Time Lords and Gallifreyans, many of which had served in the Watch or the Chancellery Guard. The newly loomed were designed to be mass produced, disciplined, regimented, and uniform. Cousins of the minor Newblood House Xianthellipse warn against this uniformity. The uniformity of the First Wave will be exploited by the Daleks who are experts at fighting such forces.
When it starts the War in Heaven (from the Time Lord’s point of view) takes the form of bursts of activity followed by long quiet stretches that occur last until the Time Lords have cultivated enough Biodata to produce another Wave of soldiers. Once trained, the entire Wave is sent to the time-front lines in another flurry of attacks.
Four years after the War begins the Time Lords begin actively recruiting Lesser Species into the House Military. Both the Daleks and the Time Lords recruit from non time active species by convincing the recruit that their entire life history is being presented to everyone on their home planet. This is so devastating to the recruit's sense of identity that they beg to serve the High Powers. These aliens are given the Rassilon Imprimatur, healing machines that allowed them to regenerate, and several other "biological advantages." Despite the fact that Time Lords consider nanotechnology to be so matter dependent that its useless as a weapon in the War some nanotechnology (leftover from before the War) is occasionally used. The First and Second Wave relies on nano-tech to “regenerate” the troops bodies when they are damaged. They physically age at a rate of one year for ever 3 to 4 that pass. Troops for Military Regen Missions are primed so that every time that they regenerate they acquire armor and defenses designed to repel known Dalek attacks. After there first regeneration they lose the ability to reproduce. There are thousands (if not more) of aliens who volunteer to serve the Time Lords. The aliens receive a form of brainwashing called a Briefing. The Briefing convinces the subject that supporting Time Lord objectives and goals is essential to their cultures survival. If the subject even thinks about betraying the Time Lords his mind will self-destruct. The field agents are equipped with (at minimum) jammers, a vibroknife, star charts, credit cards with no limit, and a neutron blaster. A Strike Force is made up of 12 Regen-Inf warriors. Soldier sometimes find that their history (past or future) has been altered in such a way to make them incredibly useful in the War. Depending on the nature of their usefulness they will either be promoted or frozen in stasis until needed. When field agents lose access to their own TARDIS an Extraction TARDIS is sent to pick them up.
Five years after the War begins the House Military releases the Second Wave of Loomspun warriors. It is the largest and most destructive of the first eight waves. They are the first Gallifreyans to be engineered to radically alter their physiology after each regeneration. It launched attacks against any culture that could be a threat to the Time Lords and was particularly hard on Faction Paradox and other renegade Time Lords. The Second Wave tendencies to attack non-Dalek targets would later be viewed as a waste of resources.
Eleven years after the beginning of the War the Third Wave of the House Military is created. The biological defenses that Time Lords have against the Great Vampires and the Charon are reconnected in all Gallifreyans. Troops used by the Time Lords are re-engineered by reprocessing their timelines instead of using nano-tech. When these non-Gallifreyans are infected with the Immortality Virus they are able to regenerate, but they will have much less control over the process. They physically age only one year for ever 3 or 4 that pass. Their cells will "evolve" and "improve" themselves. With each regeneration the subject's appearance and abilities will get farther and farther from the species norm. The Time Lords give the agents special drugs that control how they regenerate, turning them into whatever the Time Lords want them to be. They are re-engineered to regenerate into a more "military" form with each regeneration. These troops quickly lose any semblance of humanoid form. The first regeneration produces built in armor. The 12th creates a being that is hardly even organic. Time Warriors can regenerate well over 60 times. The intermediary officers of the House Military object to these modifications but are overruled. The Third (and subsequent) Waves use Temporal Vaccinations instead of nano-augmentation to protect themselves from damage. They work by introducing several small changes in subjects history makes his history resistant to large-scale change. Soldiers who have undergone temporal vaccinations are sometimes called Hybrids.
Forced military Regen Missions become a standard House Military strategy. The Regenerated Infantry (Regen-Inf) troops sent on these missions will be forcibly regenerated into forms that will best suit the mission. Forced regenerations are much more painful then regular regenerations. This is done by introducing mutagens into the regenerative matrix that given them defenses, weapons, and Symbiotic Nuclei These mutagens also make them sterile. They serve as frontline soldiers and siege weapons. Since most of these Time Front troops are recruited from lesser species they often permanently stationed off of Gallifrey.
17 years after the War begins the Fourth Wave of the House Military is created by the House of Xianthellipse. The House is a major advocate of diversity and makes extensive use of Biodata from Lesser Species. The House of Xianthellipse begins actively crossbreeding troops with Lesser Species. The success of their wartime efforts is quite impressive. Much to the distress of the High Council, they are capable of breeding with lesser species. Despite the objections from House Mirraflex the Wave is quite stable and effective. Forced Regen Missions usually carry at least one symbolic D-Mat weapon. The Fourth Wave makes extensive use of “D-Mat” weapons and Killerbots.
25 years after the start of the War the Fifth Wave of the House Military is created. Using the lessons learned on the previous 4 waves the Fifth Wave is carefully created. They are trained at the Gauntlet. This proves to be the most stable, reliable, and disciplined Wave to date. Most of the Wave will still be alive 25 years after creation.
When the Sixth Wave of the House Military is created, the entire Wave defects to join the Daleks and is the High Council has the Wave retro-annulled so that in never existed.
38 years after the War begins the Seventh Wave of the House Military is created by the House of Xianthellipse. This is the only specialized wave. Its soldiers serve as elite assault force for tactical missions. It was trained to deal in psychological attacks and attacks against sapients in general. By this point a schism is developing between the Time Lords on the Homeworld and the House Military in the field as to the proper interpretation of the Laws of Time. The House Military troops believe themselves to be the active defenders of History and resent the Time Strategists' aloof plotting. For this reason the Seventh Wave of the House Military are all assigned Officers of the Quintessence whose job it was to act as a go-between between the Time Lords and the troops of the Seventh Wave.
44 years into the War the Eighth Wave of the House Military is created. They serve in defensive positions and as reinforcements for the previous Waves.
By the time the war has been going 50 years very few members of the House Military appear to be remotely humanoid. The Ninth Wave of the House Military is created by House Tracolix and deployed. To combat pardox anxiety, and other stresses of the War, troops, agents, and officers are given the ability to reboot their personality to an earlier state of being. This is done by overlaying a previously saved personality matrix on the mind of the psychologically disabled individual. At this point almost all off-world Time Lords are either classified as Field Agents or they are assigned to Boundary Posts.
By the time of the 10th Wave Occupation, the War Looms produce hoards of new Time Lords. Most [of not all] have a moment of conception. These freshly minted Regen-Inf warriors are called Newborn. By the end of the Time War the Matrix is linked to almost every Time Lord and every TARDIS in the Universe. Time Warriors get upgraded vision via a Headcam with built in heads up displays. The Headcam's grid is fused to the warrior's neural receptors. It downloads all of its info into the brain of the warrior using a small part of their brain as a storage hard drive. The warriors have much of their training loaded directly into their minds. While many time warriors believe they receive premonitions of the future when the grid is fused to the receptors, the House Military maintained that they were just hallucinatory side-effects of the process. The Academy side of their training includes torture and fighting in the Death Zone (possibly at the hands of a restored Borusa or War Chief). 30,923 words have been created by the Gallifreyans to deal with the War. Priority Omega is one of the highest ratings in the House Military coding. “Change is good.” – “Local situations require local measures.” – These are both mantras from the Academies during the War with the Daleks. They also teach that there is no skill more important then the ability to get out of tight corners. The Time Lord troops are able to defy chronology and act faster then would be possible. They are force regenerated into forms that will blend in on whatever planet they go to. The veterans of the First Wave are the only officers allowed to keep humanoid bodies. Only 1 out of a 1000 Time Lords survive more than 15 missions. If the warrior dies the memory will removed from their cortex and uploaded to their family's drives. Any events that would be unsuitable for children will be tinted red. A language filter distorts video and audio whenever swear words are encountered
