UNIT
Military alien fighters
A unit is a single thing considered as part of a larger whole: a unit of soldiers, a housing unit, the family unit.
In measurement, a unit is a standard quantity used to express amounts: units of length, monetary units.
A unit can be a self-contained section of something larger—an apartment in a building, a lesson in a curriculum, a piece of equipment.
In casual speech, calling someone a unit means they're impressively large or formidable: That guy's an absolute unit.
