Homebrew Abyssal unit Species Details

"We are your origin, we are your end, and we are what you shall be when all is said and done. So, surrender your lives and world and join us in the deep abyss." ~ Abyssal Empress Unit, upon reaching the now ruined city of Navkradan.

 

Appearance

The Abyssals are a strange species of interstellar machine-like creatures. usually all being female with white or black hair and luminescent eyes. The abyssals often have some form of mechanical limb or body part that denotes them from something like a war forged, being that is leaps and bounds above the tech available at the time. Those that are converted into Abyssals are often turned into horrible mechanical flesh monsters or into a female if not one already. No one, not even the Abyssals are sure why they are all female, nor do they care.

Culture
Abyssals travel the stars and universes, conquering planets and turning them into a vast ocean of data before leaving and conquering the next. Abyssals function on a sort of rank system consisting of things like, Drones, Attackers, Defenders, Knights, Colossi, Hunters, Paladins, Sirens, Observers, and Royalty. All units follow the ones higher then them, without questions, unless of course they are defective or allowed to do so by an even higher-level unit.

Corruption
Abyssals all have a corrupt instinct to try and make more of their race. To do this though they use an item known as an Abyssal Resonance Cube. These are often black, light blue, or deep blue in color.  To do this they place the cube upon the chest of the individual in question. such individual has a 25% chance of dying upon this process.
