Franco Pike Guard
Franco guards are omnipresent soldiers of the Emperor's army on Zeelich. They can be seen with different weapons, from long pikes to big laser guns. They are seen at any place needing guarding, like the astroport, the gazogem refinery, and on many streets throughout the entire planet. Together with franco technicancs they build the crew of the Emerald Moon base.
Along with the Esmer invasion on Twinsun they can be seen in the streets of Lupin-Burg and Port-Ludo and the secret esmer base.
They are guarding the little harbour at the Island of the Celebration, and are stationed on Island CX.
The military troops of the Emperor attacking the village of the mosquibees was mainly consiting of franco guards and paratroopers.
Due to their omnipresence, Twinsen often can not make a way around the franco guards. Particulary at the astroport, the Island of the Wannies, and Island CX, he has to battle them, sometimes to get a key.
With his rising strength, Twinsen can defeat them more easily, though they are still a threat by their number. For instance, the small streets of the Island of the Wannies are guarded by at least eight guards.
When setting of an alarm in an airlock of the Emerald Moon base, Twinsen is able to lure a guard into it. He quickly takes on his space suit and opens the outer doors. Thus the franco guard, not wearing a space suit, is sucked out of the room into space.
