Eidolon Revenants
The Eidolon empire once spanned half the known galaxy: a dynasty of god-kings, logic-oracles, and celestial warforms who ruled through ritual, decree, and science no other civilization has since replicated. Time is a slow poison. Complacency took root. Traditions ossified. Innovation became heresy. Entire star-clades turned inward, forgetting conquest for introspection, empire for ceremony.
Yet even in decay, the Revenants remain vast. Their fleets drift in the void. Their rites still hold power. Their dominion rotted at the edges, but the core endures - mysterious, immortal, and quietly enraged.
Now the galaxy fractures again, and the Eidolon stir. Not as one, but as many. Splintered claimants rise: would-be emperors, seer-priests, rogue war-matriarchs, each declaring themselves heir to the Throne Astral. They do not agree on the future. They agree on this: the galaxy was theirs, and will be again.
Relict Wardens
We arise.
The Relict Wardens are the Revenants' shock-troops: ghostlike warriors clad in psionically-activated exo-armor. They do not speak. They do not run. They march in geometric formations older than language, carrying weapons shaped by will and memory.
Their presence distorts light. Their movements follow celestial alignments. Some say they are projections - echoes of ancient battles still playing out across timefolded memory-cores. Others say they are simply deathless, and have always been here.
They appear where the Revenants reassert control: lost temples, vault-worlds, alien monoliths, derelict thrones.
Relict Wardens are a resilient, self-sustaining squad for players who want to grind down opponents over time. Arise! gives every unit a chance to recover HIT at the start of each turn passively - the longer the mission runs, the harder they are to remove. Technician on nearly every unit makes objective play efficient, and the Aether Scribe provides consistent action economy support through Catalyse and Restore. Defensive Weave punishes enemies who try to move through your lines. Play methodical, hold position, and let attrition work in your favor.
