The Warrior caste is one of the most important in the complex dwarven caste system, as they serve many functions and are therefore in great demand. It is also one of the most populous castes. The Warrior caste contains specialized sub-castes: Officer, Soldier, and Guardsman.

| - The Warrior Caste is one of the three Minbari castes and are the traditional defenders of their homeworld.
- According to legend, the Warrior caste was founded by Kiotshett, the eldest of seven brothers, who trained his sons to defend the king. From his children descend the Warrior caste. The Warrior caste is one of the most important in the complex dwarven caste system, as they serve many functions and are therefore in great demand. It is also one of the most populous castes. The Warrior caste contains specialized sub-castes: Officer, Soldier, and Guardsman. These sub-castes are the result of certain houses typically producing officers, soldiers, bodyguards, law-enforcers, etc. In modern day, however, much of the importance of these sub-castes has been put aside in favor of the overall defense of Orzammar. The lot of a Warrior caste dwarf is bleak, as they pay the price for Orzammar's security in blood and lost lives. Warriors lead disciplined lives of drill and practice and marry early, in light of their typically short life-span. They are also notably stoic in public so as not to bring dishonor upon themselves or the houses they serve. Nevertheless, they feel great pride and honor in their duties, and there are many benefits to being a warrior in Orzammar. Each Warrior caste house is sworn to a noble house--even the smallest noble house retains a few warriors and the largest retain over a dozen. The more important the noble house, the more highly regarded is the warrior attached to it. Many noble houses have been founded by successful and powerful Warrior caste dwarves. Those warriors that serve the royal house are considered to be the most elite and are given access to the very best arms and armor, the finest brothels, etc. When a royal house falls on a king or queen's death, the warrior houses attached to the royal family fall with it and their status is transferred to the warrior houses serving the new monarch. In spite of that, a great warrior never truly loses respect even if his or her noble house falls. Warrior houses are also assigned by the Assembly to plan and lead campaigns into the Deep Roads. Those houses assigned to the task appoint officers from those Warrior houses sworn to them. Women have a special role in the Warrior caste, expected not only to fight as warriors but to produce children to bolster the numbers of the Warrior houses. Many women become battlefield medics and some undertake an even more extreme devotion to their duties by becoming Silent Sisters in honor of Astyth the Grey, the first female Paragon of the Warrior caste. Warrior caste members are also the usual combatants of the Provings in which they test their mettle in battle as well as show their skills to the rest of the dwarven society.
- Their role within the Yuuzhan Vong Empire meant that they served as footsoldiers who were fanatically devoted to their leaders as well as their gods. It was known that they never cried out in pain, with fates such as death or dismemberment meaning nothing to them; all that mattered was performing the maximum amount of damage to their enemies. On the battlefield, a warrior often maneuvered themselves as close to their target as possible in order to engage in melee based combat. Surrender was not an option for the warrior caste, and to retreat was a sign of cowardice. If a Warrior was captured, they would immediately commit suicide, rather than shame themselves or their Domain. For warriors, there was only victory or death. They often respected courage and resistance from their foes which meant the more challenging battles only incited them more so in combat. In honor of Yun-Yammka, the Slayer and their patron deity, the warriors would sacrifice body parts, scar, and tattoo themselves, to show Yun-Yammka their pain was in honor of him. Warriors, were trained from birth, to know no fear, show no mercy, and to follow their superior's orders without question. The highest rank among the warriors was the Warmaster. Another elite group was called the Hunters, who were given missions that normal warriors could not complete. Some of the most experienced Chazrach were allowed to enter the lower levels of the warrior caste.

It was only one of several other classes in the Empire, including teaching and science. During Earth's 22nd century, however, the warrior caste began to rise in prominence, even gaining control of the court system. Prior to 2152, Humans were under the impression that all Klingons were warriors. Captain Jonathan Archer shared this belief until informed otherwise by Kolos, whose parents were not a part of the warrior caste and had encouraged their son to become a lawyer. Kolos himself held contempt for the warrior class due to their misuse of the court system and the fact that it had exceeded justice and truth in importance. (ENT: "Judgment") Antaak was born into the warrior caste. When Antaak chose a career in medicine, however, his father disowned him. (ENT: "Divergence") According to the novelization of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (p. 33), Chancellor Gorkon was referred to, by Spock, as not being a member of the warrior class.
