## Workers and Soldiers  


Workers are used in the building of all objects in the game and act as planet defence against Invasion. Your planet will naturally grow population at steady rate until your housing is filled.

An Army Barracks is required to begin Training Soldiers.

Soldiers are used to Invade hostile planets during the game and also act as planet defence against Invasion.

See [Invasion page](https://manual.darkgalaxy.com/books/interface-gameplay/page/invasion "Invasion") for more details.
