“They're the best of the best and the baddest of the bad. Short of a centurion or praetorian, they don't come any tougher. You come across a pack of them, weigh your options carefully.”— Chief Hanlon
A veteran decanus (plural decani) is an officer in Caesar's Legion in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.
