Type M

"They say that we are here to civilize the Thulians. Well, I will tell you this: it is much like teaching a tiger to play the violin. They lack both the interest and the capacity for such things, and the very practice itself is as foolhardy as it is dangerous." - Cpt. Lionel Mandrake, HRMNMA, Charon.

***

• Mage type unit w Scout Buggy. Recruited from Thulian psionics either loyal or indentured to Charon: often a bit of both. Truly fearsome opponents, these savage fighters use power of their minds to attack from a distance, ignoring both space and cover to attack the minds or bodies of their foes.
• These creatures are often as feared and reviled by their own allies as they are by the enemy, and it's not uncommon for Thulian operatives to expire during 'training exercises' before entering active duty.
• Not being reliant upon weapons that jam and/or run out of ammunition might seem to be ideal, but the effort of using energies beyond current mortal comprehension can impose a heavy strain upon an all-too-human mind and body. This 'Psychic Strain' has been seen to cripple Mage units on the field of battle, sometimes at moments where their unique skills are crucial to success and survival.
