Crimson Shroud
It began with relics. Impossible artifacts recovered from forgotten worlds, inscribed with patterns that whispered when studied. Those who looked too long began to change. They saw through the boundaries of individual will, through the walls between species and flesh. They heard the Song beneath the Stars.
Now the Crimson Shroud spreads silently: a cross-species cult of altered psionics, indoctrinated zealots, and sleeper agents embedded in governments, militaries, and populations across the galaxy. On some worlds they preach transcendence openly. On others they are invisible until it is too late.
To outsiders they appear fractured. They are not. Beneath the scattered cells and shifting faces lies a single rhythm, a single doctrine, a single crimson thread binding all who have surrendered to the Song.
Silent Choir
We were always here.
The Silent Choir is the Shroud's militant arm: psychic agents and ritual assassins deployed to neutralize resistance and purge those who cannot be turned. They are surgical, terrifying, and eerily calm. Their movements follow sacred geometries. Their words alter memories. Their weapons hum with resonances older than the factions they hunt.
Where they strike, confusion follows. Friendly fire. Hallucinations. Minds collapsing under pressure no armor can stop. Their role is not just to kill - it is to unmake belief, destroy identity, and prepare the ground for the Shroud's next advance.
Silent Choir is a disruption and control squad for players who want to manipulate the battlefield rather than fight through it. Your units hit hard in melee, but the real threat is psychic pressure: Misdirection swaps unit positions mid-activation, Compel turns an enemy into your weapon for one attack, and Pulseshriek forces repositioning without triggering opportunity attacks. Fragile if caught in a straight fight, devastating when you control the terms of engagement.
