BASE-GAME FACTION RECORD

Cygnus Corporation

A shadowy mega-corporation that plays all sides, dealing in espionage and black-ops technology.

The frame provides its faction’s Chassis Special and Defend effect. The assigned pilot provides its own faction passive; mixing factions is allowed.

Defend effect

LORE PAGE 1

While Horizon represents the public face of corporate power, Cygnus Corporation is the shadow it casts. Officially a neutral entity specializing in logistics and R&D, Cygnus is in fact a ruthless intelligence network that profits from the endless war. They sell their technology—and their secrets—to the highest bidder, manipulating conflicts from the shadows to maximize their bottom line.

LORE PAGE 2

Their technology is sleek, subtle, and deadly. Specializing in stealth, electronic warfare, and bio-augmentation, Cygnus frames like the Spectre and Blackout are designed for assassination and corporate espionage. Their pilots, known only as 'Agents' and 'Assets', are products of intense conditioning, their loyalty bought and paid for.

LORE PAGE 5

Asset designation: 'Null Sector'. A frame so secret, its existence is denied even on the highest corporate servers. Its purpose is not combat, but erasure. Utilizing stolen Zenith phase technology, it does not destroy its targets; it removes them from the timeline. A hostile takeover of reality itself.
