The Scarran military was the most powerful known. It maintained numerous Dreadnoughts and Strykers in space while Scarran troops were feared for their great physical strength and thick hide that could withstand small arms fire to a certain extent. The Scarran empire was also known to employ large numbers of Charrids as footsoldiers. High placed Peacekeepers including the Scarran-Sebacean hybrid Scorpius believed the Scarrans could easily overrun the Peacekeepers in a conventional war, this threat was what drove Scorpius to try to acquire wormhole weapons for the Peacekeepers at any cost.
