SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Skin Shield: In spite of its skintight construction, the Nullsong Veil offers nigh-unparalleled resistance to energy weapons and lightsabers, while maintaining a high resistance to directed heat attacks. Phrik-terentatek hide composite armorweave, ostrine mineral treatment, mono-molecularly bonded gammaplast, the miniaturized “skintight” shield array, and other systems all work together to lend Qyssiyana excellent protection against these common battlefield threats.
  • Wallflower: Featuring an integrated Taozin skin nodule for concealment from Force detection, a stealth camouflage coating, a Blue Witch system, and various other stealth technologies, the Nullsong Veil offers Qyssiyana an unparalleled degree of stealth, allowing her to hide within plain sight and engage targets with virtually no risk of being picked up on sensors.
  • Synapse Boost: Achieved via ultralight energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the suit, the Nullsong Veil gives Qyssiyana a moderate (twofold) strength enhancement, mainly functioning to lower the energy costs for physical exertions (running, climbing, lifting, etc.). In addition, the Ghost Link allows her to control virtually all of the suit's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. The Ghost Link provides further mental enhancement via the suit itself, enhancing her user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power from the onboard computers. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.
  • Metaphysical Shield: Terentatek hide integration gives the Nullsong Veil a good resistance to direct applications of the Force. The material makes up the bodysuit’s primary construction and is threaded throughout its systems, shielding both wearer and subsystems from metaphysical interference. In addition, a dedicated Force Shield in the collar provides protection against mental attacks and intrusion.
WEAKNESSES
  • Acerbic Affliction: Unfortunately, acid weapons are very effective at eating through the bodysuit’s protective material to harm the wearer directly, potentially inflicting a host of dangerous effects.
  • Tensor: While optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the bodysuit’s defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury.
  • Shield Projector Fragility: The Nullsong Veil is a high-tech bodysuit that depends in large part on its electronics for its defensive prowess. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the suit’s ability to protect Qyssiyana will suffer in turn. In such a case, the miniaturized intrinsic shield array might suffer malfunction. Since this system is a linchpin to the armor’s resistance against disruptors (the protective material by itself is unable to adequately defend against this weapon type as solid materials can not be proofed against disruptors), these weapons will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.
  • Surface Damage: While the bodysuit’s equipped Dream Sight has an extremely advanced surface-integrated passive reception array, any direct damage to the surface may diminish the effectiveness of the system due to the destruction of a number of passive micro-sensors. This can result in blind spots in the passive reception array.
  • Deep Freeze: While the suit is rated to protect the wearer from all environments (including arctic planets the likes of Hoth and Ilum), it unfortunately does not grade well in terms of defense against cold-based weaponry. That is to say that the biting, freezing power of cryogenic weapon systems is far more penetrating than that presented by cold environments. Thus, Qyssiyana must rely on other means of protection should she come to face these weapons.
  • Circumvented: The Terentatek hide provides excellent protection against direct applications of the Force, including (but not strictly limited to) mechu-deru, direct telekinetic influences, and mental attacks. However, indirect applications of the Force (i.e. using the Force to generate bursts of pressurized air, throw rocks, generate elemental effects, etc.) may still be effective against it (depending on the nature of the effect in question).
DESCRIPTION
With her position established in the Dark Court, Qyssyyana was afforded with the means to outfit herself to better fulfill her duties. The Nullsong Veil is a product of this investment. Engineered for stealth, the suit includes a dedicated cloaking suite, with accompanying thermoguard, mirror, and Blue Witch systems that render both suit and wearer effectively invisible to scanners and sensors. The taozin nodule serves in a similar capacity, albeit directed towards concealing both suit and wearer from Force detection.

Covering defense, the Nullsong Veil includes Echani-style “skintight” shielding that is woven directly into its construction. This, along with the phrik-terentatek hide composite armorweave and the shear thickening fluid underlay, confers stunning resistance to lightsabers, energy weapons, directed heat attacks, kinetic attacks, and yet more. The suit is also highly resistant to direct Force attacks owing to the terentatek hide incorporated into its construction. Of particular note, even though the suit does not include a helmet, the energized neck piece has a reactive defensive shield which can intercept attacks to the wearer’s head and neck

In all, as an advanced, exclusive combat bodysuit, the Nullsong Veil is very much the bleeding edge haute couture that First United Astral Engineering specializes in. For Qyssiyana it is a symbol of the nature of the exquisite chains that bind her in service to Darth Virelia and the Dark Court: love, belonging, discipline, beauty, and perfection.

    • Mk. V Flexibility Enhancement
    • Dynamic Traction Node Array
      • Traction grip nodes composed of programmable microstructures (nano-scale articulated filaments) are embedded just beneath the suit’s outer layer on the palms, forearms, and soles At rest, these nodes sit flush. However, when engaged, the nodes reconfigure their texture in milliseconds, changing from smooth to high-friction grip patterns tuned to the surface beneath. Passive micro-sensors in the palms, forearms, and soles continuously scan texture, hardness, and thermal conductivity of whatever they touch, to identify the surface type. Profiles include ice (microscopic spike protrusions), polished alloy (micro-suction and gecko-inspired molecular adhesion), loose gravel (splayed, high-surface area treads), and yet more. After contact, the programmable surface resets back to smooth mode, shedding dirt, ice, or debris automatically. Self-cleaning transpires via vibrational micro-displacement, preventing buildup that would compromise performance.
      • The traction grip nodes can bias their friction in one direction, allowing for active grip enhancement.
    • FAE/C-03 BioMedical Support System
      • Life support and medisensor / bioscanner functions only.
      • Triple-Layer Thermal Regulation System
        • The suit features a sealed, closed-loop thermal regulation system that augments the wearer’s natural body heat regulation with advanced heat capture and recycling. A skin-contact microcapillary mesh draws heat from muscles and vessels, transferring it to a phase-change buffer layer that stores it as latent energy. Excess heat is then converted into electrical power via thermoelectric cells, which provides additional power to the suit’s energy capacitors. A non-evaporating thermal fluid circulates through the suit like a second vascular network, cooling hotspots before recirculating.
        • In cold conditions, the suit can reverse thermal flow, releasing stored heat back into the body. It equalizes temperature across core and extremities, harvesting even minimal ambient heat and maintaining a stable skin microclimate. If no heat is banked, the suit taps into the energy capacitors, converting energy into heat for warmth.
      • Liquid Reclamation System
        • The suit absorbs, reclaims, and reuses the wearer’s evaporation sweat mist and ionically conductive microfilm, harvesting the latter’s electrostatic charge for power. An anti-microbial, self-cleaning inner lining keeps the suit sterile and dry for long missions. The skin-contact layer is slightly pressurized, encouraging sweat & mist to wick outward naturally into the absorption network. This maintains a stable microclimate against the skin, preventing discomfort or pruney skin from long-term use.
    • Hybrid AEGIS Nanoarray-Energy Sink System
    • Self-Repair System - Programmable Matter
    • Cybersecurity Suite
    • Magnetic Equipment Attachment Strips
    • D-Baffling System
  • Exoskeletal Spinal Interface
    • Spinal interface acts as a load-bearing conduit, reducing strain on the spine during high-G maneuvers or rapid vector changes. It aids in reinforcing spine and core musculature, improving strength, stability, and endurance. The device contains reactive polymers and nano-hydraulics that additionally enhance sprinting, climbing, wall-running, and sustained high-speed pursuit. The interface is linked to the user via the Ghost Link, ensuring a direct neural connection which effectively allows the interface to prime itself for movement almost before the wearer is fully conscious of it.

h3KdqR9.png

  • Velocity Redline: The Slipstream Zero is designed to enhance its wearer’s physical capabilities. Although it offers only a moderate augmentation to strength, its main function is in lowering the energy cost for physical exertions (namely running, sprinting, climbing, wall-running, etc.) and allowing for markedly increased stamina. In addition, the Ghost Link allows the wearer to control virtually all of the suit's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. This system provides further mental enhancement via the suit itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power from the onboard computer. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.
  • Skin Shield: In spite of its predominantly skintight construction, the Slipstream Zero offers excellent resistance to energy and kinetic weapons, in addition to a high resistance to directed heat attacks. Estrian-ostrine composite armorweave, gammaplast armor padding, the miniaturized intrinsic shield array, and other systems all work together to lend the wearer excellent protection against these common battlefield threats.
  • Mind Shield: A Force shield integrated into the helmet provides excellent resistance against mental attacks, protecting the integrity of the mind against mentalism and other forms of Force intrusion.
  • Low Profile: The bodysuit has a greatly-diminished observation profile owing to its camouflage and polymer coatings, while the D-baffling system renders it nearly dead silent. Both of these systems lower the overall signature, but they do not offer true stealth capability or invisibility. Instead, they serve to make the suit and its wearer more difficult to distinguish from the surrounding environment, harder to track, and less readily detectable.
  • Spine Surge: Achieved via energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the suit and an exoskeletal spinal interface, the Slipstream Zero gives the wearer a twofold strength enhancement. In addition, the Ghost Link allows her to control virtually all of the suit's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. The Ghost Link provides further mental enhancement via the suit itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power from the onboard computers. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.
  • Storm Chaser: The Slipstream Zero is EMP-hardened and ion-reinforced, ensuring that its systems retain their integrity and functionality even during conditions of heavy ionized and electromagnetic interference.

Designed by First United Astral Engineering (with input from the Vorrik Armatech subsidiary of Malsheem Hypernautics and Manufacturing), the Slipstream Zero Exoskin Mk. I is a limited production combat exoskin designed for the exclusive use of Pursuit Zeros. Synergizing with the hyperaugmented Pursuit Zero physiology, the Slipstream Zero is designed to enhance mobility, endurance, survivability, utility, low-observability, and lethality while supporting the high-speed combat style that Pursuit Zeros are optimized for. To this end, First United Astral Engineering developed a number of new systems for the bodysuit, designed to enhance mobility and thermal regulation.

The most notable and important of these systems is the thermal regulation system, which can recycle and repurpose the wearer’s body heat, ensuring optimal thermal balance even in extreme conditions. The other is the dynamic traction node array, which was developed to ensure that rough and complex terrain does not impede high-speed movement. Utilizing programmable matter traction grip nodes, these units automatically shift their texture based on the terrain, optimizing grip and traction.

All in all, the Slipstream Zero is essentially an intelligent second skin, allowing Pursuit Zeros to maintain peak sprinting speed for longer and press the chase against the enemies of the Sith Dyarchy!

jMIf66P.png

  • Musculoskeletal System
    • Hyperaugmented Tendon Networks
      • Tendons are triple-helical bio-polymers mimicking arachnid silk elasticity, allowing deeper energy storage and release per stride. This lets the Pursuit Zero “spring” forward with each motion, reducing muscular energy costs when running at high speeds.
      • Tendons are reinforced with parallel collagen bundles and synthetic analog proteins, granting increased tensile strength without rigidity. They can tolerate extreme joint angles that would dislocate a normal humanoid.
    • Hyperaugmented Muscle Fibers
      • Pursuit Zeros are engineered with a hybrid of Type IIx and synthetic fast-twitch analogs, granting both explosive acceleration and sustained contraction efficiency. The increased mitochondrial density in muscle fibers provides more ATP production per contraction, delaying lactic acid buildup. Muscle microstructure is coated with collagen-X nanofilaments, which improve elasticity and reduce microtearing during repetitive high-impact strides.
      • Muscles contain a higher ratio of elastin-like proteins interwoven with actin-myosin fibers. This makes their musculature more pliable yet still capable of explosive contraction, so they can extend or twist deeply without microtears.
    • Reinforced Skeletal Architecture
      • Bones are interlaced with woven carbon-ceramic composites for superior tensile strength without added weight. Joints use low-friction synovial analogs with self-repairing micro-lubricants, preventing wear during high-G directional shifts. Finally, the spine and pelvis are reinforced for shock absorption, ensuring spinal alignment remains stable during velocity-induced impacts.
    • Accelerated Muscle Repair
      • Satellite stem cells are programmed for ultra-fast recovery, allowing near-complete muscle restoration within hours post-run. As a result, Microfracture bone injuries heal within days, rather than weeks.
    • Elastic Shock Membranes
      • Thin bio-composite pads layered over joint capsules absorb repetitive ground-strike impact. Knees, ankles, and hips reinforced with cartilage-polymer hybrids that regenerate microdamage between sprints.
    • Hyperaugmented Joint Mobility
      • The joints in the hips, shoulders, and spine are subtly redesigned for broader rotational range, allowing for feline-like mobility and flexibility with seemingly contortion. In particular, extra vertebral segmentation in the thoracic-lumbar region allows a greater degree of spinal twist.
      • The low-friction synovial fluid analogs in the capsule around each joint is engineered with enhanced viscosity control, allowing temporary softening during high-stress movement so the joint can hyperextend safely without structural damage.
      • Accounting for wider joint mobility ranges, minute skeletal interlocks function as a safety system which engages under extreme torque, preventing catastrophic over-rotation while still allowing deep extension.
    • Dynamic Balance Musculature
      • Micro-reactive musculature in feet and calves continuously adjusts micro-tension for optimal stride length and landing force.
    • Reflexive Muscular Micro-Adjustment Capability
      • A specialized proprioceptive reflex loop between the vestibular system and spinal motor neurons allows the muscles to make microscopic posture corrections while moving at extreme speeds, keeping the body aligned.
    • Bio-Lubricating Fascial Layers
      • Between major muscle groups is a low-friction fascial mesh that secretes trace biopolymeric lubricant, similar to synovial fluid. This reduces shear stress when muscles oscillate at extreme stride frequencies and prevents heat-induced tissue sticking during prolonged exertion.
    • Muscle-Spindle Gravity Feedback
      • Modified stretch receptors in muscles can sense orientation relative to a gravitational pull.
  • Cardiovascular and Respiratory System
    • Hyperadaptive Cardiovascular Loop
      • Heart has dual-chamber redundancy per side, allowing pulse-staggering: one chamber sustains stable flow while the other surges under peak exertion. The vessel walls are coated with flexile graphene nanocomposites that resist microtears under prolonged high-pressure circulation.
    • Blood Volume Compensation
      • Muscle-driven venous valves actively redirect blood during rapid acceleration to prevent hypoperfusion. Splenic micro-reservoirs release oxygen-rich blood during G-load spikes, and arterial walls act as hydraulic dampers to stabilize pressure surges.
    • Hyperefficient Oxygen Extraction
      • Hemoglobin analog in blood has increased oxygen affinity and accelerated CO₂ offloading, maximizing respiration turnover. Blood plasma contains perfluorocarbon carriers which function as secondary oxygen reserves for bursts beyond aerobic capacity.
    • Respiratory Expansion Augmentation
      • The ribcage is highly flexible, supporting enormous tidal breathing during sustained sprinting. Bronchioles are coated with biopolymer surfactants to reduce tissue irritation at extreme breathing rates.
      • Extra intercostal muscle fibers and a reinforced diaphragm allow deeper and faster respiratory cycles without fatigue. Lung alveoli are scaffolded with elastic recoil fibers to prevent collapse at rapid tidal volumes.
    • Vascular Stabilization
      • Vascular smooth muscle dynamically micro-contracts to prevent blood pooling in limbs or head during rapid orientation shifts.
  • Digestive System
    • Hyperefficient Digestive Tract Design
      • Digestive system has a shortened gastric cycle, with accelerated enzyme activity. Their stomach lining produces high-density enzyme cocktails that break down complex carbs and proteins in a fraction of the time a normal humanoid would need. This means that a Pursuit Zero can eat a nutrient-dense meal and have it fully metabolically available within 20–30 minutes.
      • Small intestine has layered absorption folds. Intestinal villi are genetically engineered with expanded surface area, increasing nutrient uptake efficiency by ~40% beyond baseline humanoids. Specialized transport proteins in the gut wall shuttle glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes into the bloodstream at high saturation levels, effectively eliminating bottlenecks during digestion.
      • Auxiliary Glycogen Buffer Nodes
        • Liver and skeletal muscles are modified to store ~2–3x more glycogen than baseline Terrelians. Additionally, secondary glycogen reservoirs (miniature hepatic analogs) are embedded along their abdomen, acting as quick-release energy packs for energy-intensive sprints.
      • Waste Reduction Augmentation
        • Digestive system is optimized for near-zero nutrient loss. Gut microbiome is synthetically optimized to break down and salvage every usable molecule, leaving minimal undigested residue. Specialized colonic absorption reclaims fluids, salts, and micronutrients more aggressively, so waste is significantly reduced compared to that of an unaugmented humanoid. As a result, ~95% of what a Pursuit Zero consumes is converted into usable energy.
  • Metabolic System
    • Bioenergetic Efficiency Augmentation
      • Liver & muscle cells are optimized for rapid glycogen cycling, storing larger quantities of high-density energy substrates. Mitochondria have upregulated oxidative phosphorylation rates, letting muscles sustain power output far beyond unaugmented Terrelian limits.
    • Lactic Acid Buffering
      • Engineered lactate-shunt pathways recycle lactic acid into usable glucose, delaying fatigue. Blood pH buffering is enhanced with synthetic bicarbonate reservoirs, preventing acidosis.
    • Nutrient Replenishment Protocol
      • Post-sprint, autonomic system shifts to hyper-recovery mode, dropping metabolism into nutrient-absorption overdrive.
      • Internal glycogen reserves refill 4x faster than a baseline Terrelian, allowing for faster recovery.
    • Thermal Regulation Enzymes
      • To avoid overheating during sustained, energy-intensive sprints, their liver produces heat-dissipating enzymatic coolants that reduce core temperature spikes. Functioning as a bioengineered metabolic support system integrated into Pursuit Zero physiology to manage the immense thermal loads. These are enzymatic heat scavengers—specialized enzymes in their muscle tissues and bloodstream which break down excess metabolic heat by accelerating localized endothermic reactions. These reactions absorb and redistribute heat into less active regions of the body, preventing localized overheating in core muscle groups.
  • Nervous System
    • FAE/I-02 Hypernervous Reaction System
    • Hyperaugmented Vestibular Architecture
      • Triple-Redundant Semicircular Canal Network
        • Instead of the standard three canals (pitch, roll, yaw), they have three stacked canal sets, each tuned to different sensitivity thresholds. One set detects micro-rotations during fine movement, another handles macro-scale shifts like mid-leap flips, and the third filters out “noise” from acceleration to prevent disorientation.
      • Hyper-Responsive Otolith Organs
        • Utricle and saccule (which normally detect gravity and linear acceleration) are densely packed with specialized otolith crystals made of a biogenic high-density calcium lattice. These crystals are far more precise, allowing Pursuit Zero to sense minute changes in gravitational pull and velocity vectors while moving at extreme speeds.
      • Graviceptive Neurocells
        • Graviceptive neurocells are embedded within the vestibular membranes. These cells contain paramagnetic protein complexes that shift orientation in response to acceleration and gravitational changes. When Pursuit Zero moves, they trigger direct neural firing patterns that give the brain a high-resolution, real-time 3D map of the body’s movement vector. This system is effectively an internal “organic gyroscope.”
      • Endolymph Viscosity Modulation
        • The inner ear’s balance fluid can instantaneously change its viscosity based on detected G-forces. When sprinting or leaping, it thickens, preventing the fluid slosh that normally causes motion sickness. During freefall or mid-air rotation, it thins, enhancing sensitivity to subtle orientation shifts.
    • Neurovascular Reinforcement
      • Elastic Arterial Sheathing
        • Brain and spinal arteries are encased in an additional elastic collagen-elastin matrix that expands and contracts to absorb sudden pressure spikes, preventing microaneurysms or vessel rupture.
      • Perivascular Shock Damping
        • Capillary beds in sensitive neural tissue are suspended in a gel-like extracellular matrix that cushions against mechanical shear, reducing the risk of microbleeds during abrupt motion.
      • High-Density Neurocapillary Mesh
        • Cerebral capillaries are denser, shortening the distance oxygen must travel to neurons. This ensures uninterrupted neural function even when brief drops in perfusion occur during extreme velocity shifts.
      • Myelin Integrity Stabilization
        • Nerve axons are insulated with a reinforced myelin analog that resists shear stress, maintaining conduction velocity during high-impact or high-vibration events.
      • Cerebral Flow Modulation
        • Specialized baroreceptor clusters in the carotid sinuses detect rapid acceleration and redirect blood flow accordingly, ensuring brain perfusion remains stable even under G-force extremes.
    • Cerebellar Augmentation
      • Cerebellum is optimized for motion correction. Motor-control brain regions have 5–6x the synaptic density of a baseline Terrelian, meaning the body can auto-correct orientation almost instantaneously. In addition, their brain can calculate where the body will be mid-leap or mid-sprint milliseconds ahead of time, allowing for a “preemptive balance adjustment” effect.
    • Adaptive Hearing Dampening
      • Tympanic membranes can tense under high noise pressure, filtering wind roar and shockwave noise. Cochlear hair cells selectively amplify key frequencies.
    • Neural Thermostat Regulation
      • Hypothalamus is tuned for microsecond-level thermal feedback, dynamically increasing or decreasing enzymatic activity based on muscle load and environmental temperature.
    • Visual Cortex Motion-Blur Filtering
      • Eyes and optic nerves have adaptive processing to cancel out blur during extreme velocity.
    • Dual-Layer Ocular Membranes
      • Beneath the eyelid is a transparent nictitating membrane that auto-deploys at high wind velocities. The membrane is tear-film coated, so it resists desiccation and particle abrasion. The cornea secretes glycoprotein microfilms that reduce drag and prevent microtears caused by air friction.
      • Blink reflexes are suppressed at speed. Visual clarity is maintained by tear gland overproduction tuned for high evaporation.
  • Integumentary System
    • Subdermal Thermal Wicking Lattice
      • The subdermal thermal wicking lattice is a biological heat-distribution network integrated beneath the skin of Pursuit Zeros, designed to prevent localized overheating caused by extreme exertion. The lattice sits between the dermis and the superficial fascia, woven like a biological mesh that covers the entire body. It consists of hyper-dense capillary arrays paired with engineered thermal vesicles—small, fluid-filled channels lined with thermoregulatory cells capable of absorbing and transferring heat away from hotspots. The vesicles contain phase-change proteins, which temporarily shift state when heat loads spike, acting as a living coolant gel that absorbs thermal energy and then releases it gradually when the body cools.
      • The lattice has a directionally porous structure and is anisotropic. It actively pulls heat away from deep muscle bundles toward surface layers, allowing faster dissipation through the skin
      • Instead of isolated “hot zones,” the lattice spreads thermal load evenly across a larger surface area, preventing tissue damage or fatigue spikes in one region.
    • Ultraefficient Perspiration
      • Ionically Conductive Microfilm
        • The microfilm is a thin, invisible electro-reactive layer that coats the skin during high exertion. It is secreted by modified sweat glands in trace amounts alongside the evaporative mist. Its primary function is to distribute ionic charge evenly, dissipating thermal pockets more uniformly across the skin to prevent localized overheating.
      • Evaporative Mist
        • Sweat glands give off a fine aerosol sweat, intended to pull excess heat away from the skin. The mist is an ultra-fine, fast-dispersing vapor, lighter than normal sweat. Its primary role is latent heat removal via rapid evaporation—when it flashes off the skin, it draws thermal energy away.
        • The mist contains heat scavenger enzymes which are synthesized by the liver, then circulated through the bloodstream to the sweat glands. Thus, the mist cools not only via evaporation, but also by actively scrubbing thermal buildup chemically, making it far more efficient than baseline sweating.
    • Cutaneous Graviception Capability
      • Nerve endings in the skin detect subtle pressure gradients, allowing orientation even without ear input.
  • Universal Body System
    • Visceral Suspension Network
      • Internal organs are surrounded by gel-like biofilms that absorb and redistribute blunt-force energy. Elastic micro-ligaments tether organs to prevent dangerous displacement under violent movement.
      • The peritoneum and thoracic linings are laminated with reinforced collagen layers to prevent rupture from repetitive impacts.

  • Pursuit Supremacy: Hyperaugmented tendon networks, elastic muscle fibers, and dynamic joint mobility allow sustained sprinting at speeds in excess of 80 mph for minutes without structural breakdown and slower paced speeds (~45 mph) for hours. As a result, they can outrun any infantry and many types of vehicles on foot, making them ideal for the interception and termination of high-value targets that are attempting to retreat.
  • Extreme Burst Acceleration: With their enhanced tendons and fast-twitch muscle fibers, Pursuit Zeros accelerate in an effective instant, allowing for an incredibly explosive movement style that allows them to close distance or reposition often before others can react.
  • Inertial Awareness: Even without a clear visual reference, Pursuit Zeros effectively always know their orientation, even in low light, zero-G, or visually obscured areas.
  • Thermal Stability: Owing to multi-layered thermal regulation augmentations, Pursuit Zeros can maintain maximum velocity output in hot environments without succumbing to overheating. Prolonged sprinting does not trigger the same overheating that often cripples unaugmented runners.
  • Vector Shift: Pursuit Zeros can change direction mid-sprint or reorient in mid-air with feline precision. These unpredictable vector shifts make them nearly impossible to track with standard targeting solutions. Complex 3D environments, such as urban spires, wrecked structures, dense forests, can be navigated with inhuman speed and grace.
  • Surgical Velocity: Motion-blur filtering in visual cortex, adaptive auditory dampening, and cerebellar augmentation for predictive motor control, allow for ultra-precise movements at extreme velocity. As a result, they can shoot accurately and strike precisely while moving at full tilt, with no visual distortion or balance loss even at high velocity.
  • Explosive Power: Although not built for heavy sustained lifting power, Pursuit Zeros have immense short-burst power, making them as powerful as elite unaugmented humanoid power lifters in terms of raw upper body strength performance. In this, they can bench press ~250 kg and punch with bone-breaking force. Their lower body strength is especially robust, with significantly stronger musculature due to sprinting biomechanics. Capable of deadlifting ~400 kg, their kicks have enough power to crumple reinforced doors or shatter heavy bone structures.
  • High Tempo: Pursuit Zeros can sprint repeatedly within the same operational window, owing to deep glycogen reservoirs and ultra-fast nutrient absorption. Their ability to recover from extreme exertion far surpasses that of baseline humanoids.
  • Jump Out the Gym Athleticism: Reinforced triple-helical tendon networks, hyperelastic muscle fibers, and extra spinal articulation allow for massive energy storage and release during jumps. As such, standing vertical jumps typically reach 12-15 meters, running vertical leaps range from 20-25 meters, and horizontal bounds can clear over 40 meters in a single motion. In addition, they can make subtle adjustments to mid-air trajectory by spinal twist and tendon recoil timing, allowing them to chain leaps through complex environments, make subtle shifts to their aerial angle mid-jump, and make precise landings in complex terrain.

  • Terrelian Exclusive: The Pursuit Zero Biotype is exclusively for Terrelian Jango Jumper recipients. It can not be adapted for the physiologies of other species.
  • Demanding Metabolism: A hyperefficient metabolism, massive glycogen storage, and lactic acid recycling allow for extreme bursts of performance. However, these systems burn through energy at a staggering rate. Thus, Pursuit Zeros require a constant, high, high-density caloric intake to enable their performance. Prolonged periods without resupply rapidly degrade their speed, power, ability to physically exert themselves.
  • Sensitive Biomechanics: The Pursuit Zero sprinting style is finely tuned to optimize joint mobility and tendon recoil. However, joint damage, tendon cuts, or musculoskeletal injuries disproportionately cripple them because even a slight loss of elasticity breaks stride mechanics.
  • Lower Load-Bearing Capacity: Although optimized for speed, Pursuit Zeros can lose this advantage under certain conditions. Their skeletal and joint architecture is optimized for flexibility and impact absorption, not heavy external loads. Thus, they cannot wear heavy armor, heft large weapons, or carry bulky gear without significantly degrading their speed.
  • Recovery Phase: Even with accelerated nutrient absorption and repair cycles, Pursuit Zeros still need brief cooldown phases after maximal exertion. Pressuring them immediately after a high-speed engagement (before glycogen stores refill) may catch them at reduced output.

Conceptualized by the alchemists of the Alchemarch and the organic augmentation engineers of the Medicae Directorate, the Pursuit Zero Biotype Mk. I is an augmentation suite and strand-cast template designed for the Terrelian Jango Jumper genetic template. Leveraging the species’ natural hyper-athleticism, Kainate geneticists were able to amplify these innate advantages. For the Pursuit Zero Biotype, the emphasis was on optimizing speed and athleticism, creating an augmented bioform capable of sprinting at speeds in excess of 80 mph.

Designed primarily to fill the role of a high-speed interception and pursuit unit, the Pursuit Zeros are the fastest organic ground units in the Kainate Immortal Legions. Tactically, they are used for hunting down retreating enemy units, eliminating fleeing VIPs and enemy commanders, and in engagements over difficult terrain where vehicles are slowed or useless. In this, Pursuit Zeros are blitz predators. They can accelerate and close distances faster than most vehicles in urban or obstructed terrain. On the battlefield, the Pursuit Zeros’ speed makes them akin to ghosts. Often the only reported signs of their presence on a battlefield is a faint whistle of displaced air, followed by the location of cleanly neutralized bodies miles away from their last known position.

All in all, the Pursuit Zeros are organic interceptors optimized for high-speed combat and pursuit. They are the pursuit predators of the Immortal Legion, ensuring that there is no escape from the Qoritdras, no matter where or how fast its enemies flee.
