## Mercenaries (Zombie, Shotgun Zombie, Minigun Zombie) Hired by warlords or working for themselves to plunder items of value, these are Homillid warriors divided into strategic ranks of Grunt, Heavy, and Gunner. Being on no particular side, they'll often oppose each other on the battlefield and mistrust each other more often than they'll work together. ## Serpentipede ## Flesh Worm ## Stealth Worm ## Summoner (Summoner, Deadflare) A construct of the now-defunct Nek'raal empire, who seeded the galaxy with these units to manufacture Deadflare swarms. (out-of-game info: under certain circumstances, large groups of Deadflare can create new Summoners, ensuring their own continued existence) ## Trilobyte ## Pain Bringer (Pain Bringer, Pain Lord) Incredibly resilient warriors of the Bru'al species, they are biotechnically enhanced with armor, weapons, and musculature. They will cooperate with Pain Lords, who are lesser Bru'al warriors. ## Dark Ranger (Dark Soldier) Not much is known about these creatures who often wait in ambush either alone or in groups. They roam the galaxy after their own enigmatic purposes, and are capable combatants who can fight with ranged attacks and in melee. ## Necromancer (Necromancer) Descended from the ancient imperial Nek'raal race, the Necromancer is revered by all species on the battlefield. Even war constructs will not knowingly harm these creatures. A Necromancer will often fortify a strategic location and raise an army, supporting their gathered warriors by reviving them if they are felled. However, this proud magician will not hesitate to destroy any creature that attacks it by casting a devastating fire bomb. ## Combat Slug (Combat Slug) A large construct from Virtrex warmongers equipped with dual fireball launchers. ## Walker, Miniwalker (Large Technospider, Technospider) A powerful war construct created by Virtrex warmongers who also constructed the less-powerful Miniwalker. Simple programming causes it to attack anything identified as a threat. ## Tripod (Assault Tripod) Another construct of the Virtrex considered on-par with the Large Walker but equipped with a missile launcher. ## Wu'val Supersoldier (SSWV/SSWolven) A special rank of mercenary. ## Keen Pod (KEEN/Keen) A chemical suspension pod preserving a vulnerable alien. Destroying all of them will reveal the way forward. ## Boss Brain (BBRN/Bossbrain) A super-intelligent war coordinator. Destroying it will immediately turn the tide of battle in your favor.
