HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Emberborn were formed in the crucible of the Battle of Muunilinst, where Diarch Reign led a strike force into the heart of the Financial District against overwhelming odds. During the battle, Reign issued a call for volunteers to accompany him in a speeder-lance charge against the enemy commander, Detritus Ren of the Dark Empire. Those who survived that hellish assault—through smoke, fire, and the crash of steel—were forged into legend.
Recognizing their unshakable resolve, Reign personally awarded each of them a golden-orange cape—a symbol of loyalty, valor, and flame-tested unity. Since then, the Emberborn have accompanied Reign on dozens of operations and stand as the First Cohort of the Myrmidons. They answer only to him and carry out missions ranging from deep infiltration to ceremonial guard duty. Their names are known to every soldier of the Diarchy—and whispered in fear by its enemies.
Known Members:
- Intent: To submit the Emberborn as a unique elite command cohort within the Myrmidon Guard of the Diarchy, led by Varlo Finnall, to be used in narrative, combat, and ceremonial roles in Diarchy-aligned threads.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- Unit Name: Emberborn – First Cohort of the Myrmidons
- Affiliation: The Diarchy, Diarch Reign
- Classification: Elite Black Ops / Honor Guard
- Description:
The Emberborn are the First Cohort of the Myrmidons—a legendary unit forged during the Battle of Muunilinst under the direct command of Diarch Reign. Clad in matte black phrik-alloy armor with golden-orange capes, they are the blade of the Diarchy's will, known for their silence, loyalty, and unshakable unity. Each member is a survivor of the infamous Muunilinst speeder joust engagement and handpicked by Reign himself. Their armor bears subtle personal modifications but remains ceremonially uniform—black, gold, and fire-marked.
COMBAT INFORMATION:
- Unit Size: Small
- Unit Availability: Unique
- Unit Experience: Elite
- Equipment:
Phrik-alloy Mandalorian-inspired Myrmidon Armor
Custom-configured blaster rifles, carbines, and railguns
Vibroblades, shock batons, flamers, and suppression tools
Deployable shields, signal jammers, trauma kits - Combat Function:
The Emberborn act as a multi-role elite strike team, functioning as command support, breaching vanguard, sniper overwatch, heavy suppression, and trauma extraction. They often operate autonomously in high-stakes operations, but may integrate with other cohorts as fire-team leads. On ceremonial occasions, they serve as the visible guardians of Reign. Each member possesses a distinct specialization (e.g., recon, medic, heavy weapons, sniper) allowing them to operate without external support. - Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): N/A
Strengths:
- Legendary cohesion: Years of training and survival together has made the Emberborn an unbreakable tactical unit.
- Versatile specialists: Each member brings unique expertise (sniper, recon, CQC, medic, demolitions, etc.), allowing them to operate flexibly and independently.
Weaknesses:
- High-value targets: Their fame and proximity to Reign makes them priority targets in battle and assassination plots.
- Resource-intensive: The Emberborn require rare phrik, specialized weaponry, and constant tactical support—difficult to replace or reinforce. Small in number and highly elite, the Myrmidons are hard to replace.
