The Seer Priests are the
overseers of Shadoon’s army of
followers. They are tyrants
who persistently denigrate the
followers, and have no problem
with sacrifi cing others for
Shadoon’s cause. These fanatics
attack your team on sight with
a powerful psychic blast.
Mutants are the downtrodden
minority of Caspian. They are
bitterly enraged by conditions
in their fi lthy slums and
toxic labor factories. They
agitate against the Confed and
its agents, set traps, and
fi ght like cornered rats.
For the past forty years Edward
Kingman has dominated trade in the
Ulysses system through supplying
materials, especially sootrock, to
the Ferguson colonists on Caspian.
He may be rich, but he’s dirty. If
there’s something rotten going on
anywhere in the Ulysses system,
Kingman is probably in on it.
Outcasts are Feral warriors who have
been banished for crimes against
the clan. Some are recruited by
the Seers, who twist the Outcasts’
minds and bodies with their psychic
powers and mind-powered machinery.
As minions of the Seers, Outcasts
are dangerous and vicious killers,
warped to serve Shadoon’s purposes.
Shadoon is a powerful religious fi gure
among the Seers. He believes he is the
messenger of his gods, and that judgment
day for the Confederation is due. He is
a religious zealot who thinks nothing of
murdering his own followers, who gladly
give up their lives to act as living
batteries for Shadoon’s machinery.
Some members of the Caspian Militia
have been corrupted by promises of
wealth and power, and now owe their
allegiance to Edward Kingman. They
are equipped with state-of-the-art
Confederation weaponry, and they are
well-trained in militia tactics, which
makes them both treacherous and deadly.
