Eliksni



We have butchers at our gates-four-armed and eager to slaughter.-unknown.

The Eliksni, more commonly referred to as The Fallen, are a race of scavengers and pirates divided into separate factions, or houses. The Eliksni are humanoid in appearance, with the obvious exception of possessing four arms(Two in the case of Dregs) and their exceptional agility.

The homeworld of the Eliksni is unknown, as they never permanently settle in any one location except for their Ketches. There is evidence to suggest that the Eliksni were once a powerful and noble species before their current state. (This is possibly the reason why they are known as The Fallen.)

The Eliksni exhibit numerous positions in their hierarchy in combat:

Shank
Small drones used for scouting and patrol, Shanks are simply robotic drones armed with shock pistols. Though they are on par with Dregs in terms of weakness, Shanks can be modified to use protective shields, reinforced armour and even wire rifles.

Dreg
The 'cannon fodder' of the Eliksni, Dregs have their lower arms removed in a humiliating ritual. Only when they prove themselves worthy to be promoted to Vandals will they be allowed to grow these arms back. Dregs most often wield shock pistols and shock daggers in combat, but sometimes fight with shrapnel launchers.

Vandal
The foot soldiers of the Eliksni, Vandals are slightly stronger than Dregs but clearly more of a threat. Vandals often use shock rifles or wire rifles. Vandals sometimes wield shock blades, but most often as Stealth Vandals. (invisible Vandals)

Captain
Commanding units of the Eliksni, Captains are defended with a combination of strong armour and energy shields. They are often armed with either dual shock blades or shrapnel launchers. Earning the most respect and rations of most Eliksni, Captains are also known to ruthlessly kill or seriously wound their subordinates for even the slightest of infractions.

Servitor
Spherical robots left over from the Eliksni's collapsed civilization, Servitors convert matter and energy into a substance called Ether, which members of the Eliksni species depend on for life. In combat, Servitors are able to fire a blast of void energy from their 'pupil.' Servitors have also been known to hack machinery for the Eliksni and have an apparent religious significance to them.

Archon
Eliksni serving as high priests, Archons are revered among the Eliksni for their connections to the High Servitors. They are almost always encountered armed with Shrapnel launchers and are extremely durable.
