Background:
Human data on this leader remains sketchy and
inconclusive, as his followers surround him with a larger-than-life
mystique, making it difficult to separate fact from myth. Most sources
indicate he (note: actual gender indeterminate) commanded the Usurper
ship destroyed in the battle above Planet. Certainly he is regarded
with terror even by his own faction members, as implied by his title of
"Conqueror". This honorific is reserved for those who distinguished
themselves in the brutal Succession Wars leading to the
Usurper-Caretaker schism, or so our Xenopsych Corps has deduced. Best
data also indicates that he holds a place of high importance in the
Usurper hierarchy, given his Thrall Command of one of the scout ships
searching for the Sixth Manifold.

Psych Profile:
Although it is important not to anthropomorphize a
race as complex and unknown as the Progenitors, a few conclusions may
safely be drawn from available data. Having found the Sixth Manifold,
this leader will unwaveringly pursue either a Planetary Flowering (best
available translation-meaning unknown) or will attempt to contact the
nearest Usurper Homeworld, bringing unstoppable reinforcements to bear
once the location of the Manifold has been pinpointed and broadcast.
Either such an event would likely mean the end of human habitation on
Planet.
Humans
seem to matter little to this Conqueror, unless they have sided with
his Caretaker enemy. He sees little benefit in interaction with a
lifeform he perceives as inferior. Humans do possess a few scraps of
technology that might be of interest to this leader, which might be
bartered for Progenitor science, or perhaps merely a continued
sufferance of human existence. Happily, the Usurper landing on Planet
seems to have come with little in the way of infrastructure or
preparation, so they do not currently have access to the most advanced
of their weaponry.

 Faction
Summary 
 |
The
Usurper faction belongs to a race of aliens known as The Progenitors,
widely believed to be the creators of the Artifacts, Monoliths, and
other structures found by early human explorers. The discovery of the
Manifold Nexus hints that the Progenitors may have even created Planet,
which itself appears to be part of a larger system spanning the stars.
Since then, however, the Progenitors seem to have entered a period of
violent civil war, costing much of the technological knowledge and
engineering skills of their ancestors. Two factions vie for control of
the core systems-the Usurpers and the Caretakers.
The Progenitors have evolved complex biological systems that can sense
fields imperceptible to humans, including at least electrical and
magnetic fields. The collective term for this sensitivity is
'resonance', and permeates all Progenitor communication, art, and
culture. The sensitivity also confers valuable combat bonuses to
Progenitor forces. For the Usurpers, resonance sensitivity translates
into a 25% bonus in air combat, reflecting their heightened situational
awareness.
The Usurpers also gain a bonuses in Growth and Industry, as they seem
willing to exploit Planet's resources for their own gain. They land on
Planet with knowledge of Progenitor Psych, Field Modulation, and
Applied Physics. |
