Bannermen

Bannermen
Leader:	Gavrok
Appearances:	DW: Delta and the Bannermen

The Bannermen were a criminal group led by Gavrok. They tried to exterminate the entire Chimeron species.

Tactics

The Bannermen used zap guns as their principal weapon, firing in the general direction of targets as opposed to carefully aiming. They rarely took prisoners without due reason and would not release them willingly. They made use of booby traps as a method of killing their foes, seemingly unconcerned about such underhanded tactics. Bannermen displayed no appreciation for Galactic Law. (DW: Delta and the Bannermen)

Technology

Weapons

The Bannermen's primary weapon was the zap gun. They were able to use high-impulse beams to detonate devices such as radio transmitters.

Vehicles and devices

The Bannermen Warfleet was composed of large, three engined cruisers. Their craft possessed scanners that could search for high technology. They had sonic cones to booby trap objects. (DW: Delta and the Bannermen)

History

Exterminating the Chimerons

A Bannerman cruiser. (DW: Delta and the Bannermen)

After polluting their own world, the Bannermen attacked Chumeria in an attempt to kill all Chimerons and take their world. They killed all the Chimerons, except for Delta, the Chimeron Queen, who escaped. They followed her to toll port G715. Delta escaped from them by boarding a Nostalgia Tours bus.

On Earth

An informer alerted Gavrok that Delta was in Shangri-La camp, Earth, 1959. Gavrok killed the informer through use of a high-impulse beam to avoid paying him. They scanned the area and found high technology landing they attacked what they believed was Delta's hideout but was in fact a trap. Jars of honey fell on the Bannermen and Goronwy's bees attacked them.

The Bannermen reorganised and moved to attack the camp. However the amplified singing of the Chimeron Princess sent them into disarray and Gavrok fell within the perimeter of a sonic cone and was atomised.

The remaining Bannermen were taken prisoner. Delta and Billy placed them on their craft when they set out for space. (DW: Delta and the Bannermen)

Other realities

In a parallel universe two of the Bannermen spacecraft were captured by the Republican Security Forces and mined for technology by the British government, allowing them to enhance two experimental space shuttles with gravity-control and a much faster drive (PDA: The Face of the Enemy)

Behind the scenes

• It is unclear if the Bannermen were a race or just a paramilitary group.
