FIREFIGHT: The Asterians at War
18th Jul 2023
Dan Mapleston
Across Asterian space and in the places beyond their borders, Clade fleets have been mobilised. These warrior brotherhoods are intent on cleansing worlds corrupted by the Plague and preventing the ignorant actions of other, less enlightened races from driving the universe further away from its natural balance.
A typical Asterian army will often consist of a solid core of Marionette robots, backed up by a variety of drones and Cyphers. But, despite this reliance on remotely operated mechanical soldiers, it would be a mistake to think of an Asterian army as being either rigid or inflexible.
There is no enemy Asteria fears, no fight it cannot win. The balance of the universe must be redressed and unity preserved. After centuries of holding their peace and hiding their strength, Asteria goes to war.
Asterian Vehicles
From lightweight Sky Razors to the larger Chira transporters and Chroma force platforms, the Asterians bring advanced technology to bear on their foes. New vehicles have been spotted on the battlefield recently, including the sleek Assassin & Escort heavy drones...
