A Trion Soldier (トリオン兵, Torion Hei ?)[1] is a drone made out of and running on trion. Some are sent to the human world by Neighbors to scout, salvage trion glands, and capture humans with high trion capacity.
Concerning their aims, various Trion Soldiers exist, such as those that specialize in bombing, battle, or capture. Depending on the circumstances in the Neighbor countries, the nature of the dispatched Trion Soldiers also varies. The likes of Rads used in order to open gates anywhere displayed Border's Defense Readiness capabilities. Bamsters, Banders, and Rabbits are Trion Soldiers created specifically to capture people alive. There also exist Trion Soldiers made for attack, which either specialize in mass-destruction or combat.
Trion Soldiers with designated roles tend to fulfill their functions better at a given cost.[2] Additionally Trion Soldiers with a lot of abilities end up costing more[2], so for when deploying large groups, generally the trion soldiers will have less abilities and will focus on teamwork.[2]
Trion Soldiers are known to have different brain parts[3]: There are solo types, and team-tactics types.[3] Team-Tactics types have the ability to link up in groups of four or five.[3] with solo types there are standard solo types (Marmods[3]) as well as high-performance types (Rabbits[3])
