Cabal Psion

Hailing from a distant interstellar empire, the Cabal are an industrious, militaristic society devoted to conquest and expansion to initially satiate the hedonistic lifestyle of their civilization as a whole whom themselves worship their emperor as a deity in the flesh. It is customary for the Cabal that any military force sent on expedition is, under their centuries-old laws, to be in effective exile and are unable to return to their home borders until victory was assured. That gave the army in question extra incentive to complete their objectives and return to the empire with spoils of war and new territory. Much of their architecture and technology have a heavy industrial feel to them as the Cabal military as a whole prefer defense in depth and to bore their fortresses into the sides of mountains to not only allow easier access to mineral resources but for added protection within. However, there are some whom theorize that the Cabal are so desperate for territorial expansion initially not to support their lifestyle, but rather to have a fallback position from an enemy they now flee….

The Psion are a cyclopoid, client species to the Cabal whom are naturally gifted with clairvoyance and psionic abilities that proved their utility upon the battlefield. Though physically weak, they are never the less more maneuverable and agile compared to the patron species of the Cabal, yet they serve the Cabal as an auxiliary unit. Though the psionic abilities of any individual Psion varies depending upon the rank, power, and position, they are never the less a lethal adversary to the unweary and overconfident.

Pincers

A strange, Cyclopoid creature that resides mainly in pit falls and similar sink hole environments, the Pincers prefer to strike at potential threats by jumping out of their lairs and strike through unknown means. Abnormally resilient for creatures of their scale, they are none the less vulnerable to an Explosive Cloud. The Pincers also regularly miss due to their singular ocular organ.

Bunny Lurker

A leproidae-like Lurker, it is thus named for its abnormally powerful jumping ability relative to its size. It is unknown if the Bunny was artificially created by Gol and Maia Acheron through their experiments with Dark Eco, a corruption of its snow variation, or both. What is known is that they are exceptionally powerful when deployed en mass for they naturally gravitate towards swarm attacks if they are unable to attack their foes through subterfuge and ambush through environmental adaptation due to their weak physical disposition.

Cabal Legionary

Hailing from a distant interstellar empire, the Cabal are an industrious, militaristic society devoted to conquest and expansion to initially satiate the hedonistic lifestyle of their civilization as a whole whom themselves worship their emperor as a deity in the flesh. The primary species of this extrasolar empire are massive, bipedal carnivores with wrinkled and leathery tan-grey skin, tall skulls, dark wide-set eyes with slit pupils and their upper lips are in the shape of an inverted V that exposes their gums and fangs. They also hail from a warm and humid environment and, while a resilient species, cannot survive within dry environments without climate-controlled gel suits. This may stem from the fact that there is little, if any, fatty tissue upon their bodies to which nearly all of their mass is musculature.

It is customary for the Cabal that any military force sent on expedition is, under their centuries-old laws, to be in effective exile and are unable to return to their home borders until victory was assured. That gave the army in question extra incentive to complete their objectives and return to the empire with spoils of war and new territory. Much of their architecture and technology have a heavy industrial feel to them as the Cabal military as a whole prefer defense in depth and to bore their fortresses into the sides of mountains to not only allow easier access to mineral resources but for added protection within. However, there are some whom theorize that the Cabal are so desperate for territorial expansion initially not to support their lifestyle, but rather to have a fallback position from an enemy they now flee….

The Legionary forms the backbone of any Cabal Legion and are the basic frontline infantry force any legate is able to wield. Their heavy armor and internally integrated jump jets allow the Legionary to perform a bounding advance wereas one group provides covering fire while another closes the gap or locate new firing positions to support the former in their advance. In fact such equipment make the Legionary the most formidable baseline threat any Guardian can face, but due to their doctrine the Legionary tend to cluster close to their comrades which make them especially vulnerable to area effect weaponry.

Archers

Elfin Amazon-like beings, the Archers make their home in the forests and deserts of Sequin Land and in particular ruins. As their name suggest, they are quite skilled with the Bow and Arrow and are able to fire three rounds in rapid sequence, though they are not as helpless as one might expect of archery-centric warriors.
