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...

Getting Started

As a new Asterian commander you're going to need a strike force built around a solid core of Marionettes, plus Cyphers, drones, a commander and a heavy vehicle. Just like this one in fact!

Now you'll just need a copy of Firefight: Command Protocols, and you're ready to go. Want to really strike fear into the hearts of your enemies? It's time to unleash the magnificent Spectra!

There's more to discover in the Asterian list, from the fearsome Kalyshi to their honourable Matsudan auxiliaries. However you get started, you're sure to find lots of interesting tactical options on the gaming tables of FIREFIGHT!

Asterian Kalyshi

The Kalyshi go to war in traditional warpaint, armed with bows and glaives, but only a fool would mistake them for simple savages – the Kalyshi are no less technologically advanced than any other Asterian.

Matsudan Team

One of the few races to regularly treat and form pacts with the Asterians are the Matsudan. This ancient race of large, lizard-like creatures is thought to be almost as old as the Asterians themselves. They have a culture steeped in tradition and honour, so the actions of the profit-hungry corporations of the GCPS regularly come into conflict with the Matsudan’s venerable sense of integrity. To say the Asterians exploit this animosity is perhaps harsh, but they certainly don’t discourage it.
