The VSI
The Vengeful Spectre of Ississ, also known as the VSI, is a villainous military faction consisting of multiple divisions, its origins lying in the Ississ solar system. The leading division is called the "Xasseir", meaning "Ghost" in a language not longer spoken in Ississ. Each division has its signature colours displayed in the group's logo. The divisions that make up the VSI are:
Contents
The Xasseir (Centre)
The main group, which is in control of all of the other divisions. It consists of machines, augmented humans, and genetically engineered warriors.
Their units can be distinguished by the brown and grey colour scheme, and the fact that they commonly use organic armours instead of conventional ones, unlike all other divisions. They are also known to use genetically engineered weapons, conventional weapons, and energy weapons (Usually semi-automatic). It is also one of the divisions that has the permission to deploy the Warmaster H-097. They are also infamous for their gigantic monsters known as the Xasseir Wargrims, which are genetically engineered to serve as the Vakeer's enforcers. These have SSF weaponry, such as missile pods on their back.
This division is led by 2 people. The supreme leader of the VSI: The Overseer, who controls the Xasseir soldiers as well as the rest of the VSI. And Lower Overseer Helrath, who commands the Xasseir troops as well as the Xasseir Wargrims.
The Xasseir speak in a strange language that scientists have yet to decode. Though, as shown by Helrath at one point, the Xasseir are well capable of speaking English. They likely speak in a different language so they can shout tactics to each other in the heat of battle, without anyone knowing what they are saying.
The VSI originally started out as the Xasseir, making it the heart of this enormous and dangerous faction. Thus, its symbol is depicted in the centre of the collective logo.
The Overseer
The VSI was founded by the person who is known only as the "Overseer", an all powerful humanoid (IF he is even human) with unparallelled psychic powers. His true name unknown to date, The Overseer is a very feared icon of evil throughout the galaxy. He is the supreme leader of the VSI, standing above everyone else. His power is incredible: He is able to create enormous shockwaves of telekinetic energy, wield weapons made out of it, and make highly dangerous projectiles out of it. Even parts of his armour are formed by the power of his mind alone. The Overseer might as well be powerful enough to take on whole armies by himself. What his intentions EXACTLY are remains unknown. He has only been seen by a few, including the other leaders, Vorakk, and commander Razak, and more recently Victor Ardaman from the VSI's minor ally Ardacorp. However, Victor is the only person know to date to have seen the Overseer's true face...
An enigma of the galaxy, the Overseer is a highly dangerous threat, and a wanted criminal throughout the universe.
His most famous quote is:
"The sound of marching soldiers predicted the arrival. Before the reaper flew overhead, and rained down death upon all of us. We were helpless, hopeless, lost to our fates. Death even attempted to claim me, but I have survived. My life only has one sole purpose now. Do you all believe you are innocent? I think not. Your ancestors have tainted you, doomed you, decided your fate long before you were born. The path to retribution will be paved with your corpses. My thirst for vengeance will be quenched with your blood. Death has turned against you. I am the vengeful spectre of Ississ. Garr...Rayera di Xasseir!" -The Overseer to the Chakra'Vi during the Vakeer's attack on them.
The Alpha Strike Force (Right)
The Alpha Strike Force (ASF) is the smallest division of the VSI, but definitely not the least powerful. The ASF's strength lies in its stealthy and tactical approach on situations. Their units can be distinguished by their silver, black, and dark slate grey colour scheme, and their streamlined tech. They always strike where it hurts the most, and are almost always successful thanks to the tactical genius of their leader: Braxyn.
Braxyn
Braxyn is more machine than man. He altered himself thusfar, he became an unstoppable force showing not a single trace of remorse. Braxyn is the tactician amongst the leaders. He usually takes it upon himself to think out battle plans. He shares the same gift as the Overseer: Psychic powers. However, Braxyn uses them less. Instead he relies on his own strength. He uses his psychic powers to heal himself, make his movement quicker, and predict enemy attacks. He uses dual blades in combat, but with his psychic powers, he is able to let 4 additional blades float beside him to aid him. Despite his great tactic ingenuity, Braxyn can be considered insane as he often has head twitches and even talks in third person.
His suit is designed to constantly inject him with a drug that keeps him active and energetic. He won't ever tire. This is, however, his weakness, were his suit to be disabled.
The Omega Strike Force (Top)
The Omega Strike Force (OSF) is the biggest division of them all, and definitely the strongest when it comes to firepower. It's the only division operating in our solar system. It has a bit of everything, ranging from a lot of ground units, to aerial units, to tanks and airships, to carriers, etc. It also is the division which has the permission to deploy the Warmaster H-097, along with the Vakeer. They can be distinguished by their grey and yellow colour scheme, and advanced tech. Their leader is general Vorakk Al'kto.
(For a more elaborate version of this, go to the OSF's own page.)
Vorakk Al'kto
Vorakk is a Ben'Haian who betrayed his people, his parents, and his sister, in favour of him becoming member of the OSF, and eventually their general, to replace the late general Colton Nicoson who fell in the War on Ben'Hai. His past has scarred him forever, he is more machine than Ben'Haian, but this has also worked in his advantage at certain points. Vorakk is a seemingly unstoppable war machine, with built-in weaponry combined with his past as a Ben'Haian warrior. Coupled with the fact he is a great strategist, it makes for a very fearsome general who now is a feared icon of evil throughout Ississ and other systems. Vorakk thinks very highly of himself and often boasts about how great he is, but even then he should not be underestimated. Having a deep desire to be the best, Vorakk's motivation and devotion to the OSF is enormous.
When in melee combat, Vorakk wields two swords which can be folded up and stored on his belt.
His most famous quote is: "I have stared right into the face of Death. I fought it. Conquered it. Now Death is merely my tool of the trade."
The Sigma Strike Force (Bottom)
The Sigma Strike Force (SSF) is a division formerly known as the Terraxis, the military force of the Dynasis species who originate from the Oseris system. It mainly consisting of a few different Marine classes, large exosuit-soldiers and aerial vehicles, mainly VTOLs and larger space vessels like the one carrying the Worldbreaker which a Poltan weapon stolen by the VSI which is capable of destroying planets. They are mainly found in Ississ nowadays, patrolling conquered planets like Poltanusk and Kymore. Rarely are they deployed elsewhere, but there have been rumors of a small section of the SSF being on Earth. Their units can be distinguished by their grey colour scheme, and large bulky tech. Their leader is Cordell.
Cordell
He is formal, he is cold and calculating, and he partially controls the entire VSI along with H.O.L.O.C.O.N., the VSI's main security system. Cordell is the most human of the leaders, having just a few minor enhancements on his body unlike the likes of Braxyn. He is in charge of the SSF, and his office (As well as the main HQ of the SSF) is situated on Poltanusk. He is the main operator of the VSI's radio channel, the GRID. It is his voice that the troopers and generals hear when they get assigned a new task. Cordell isn't really fond of combat, but when it comes to fighting, he is extremely agile and swift, using two Terraxis Tekron Pistols to deal with his foes.
The Tarath Shandtra (left)
The Tarath Shandtra is the latest addition to the VSI's ranks. They are unlike any other division: They are the military force of an alien race from the planet Oztrion called the Tarath. Shandtra is the name of their military force. They joined up with the VSI to become even more dangerous and feared throughout the galaxy, as if they were not fearsome enough. They are technologically advanced and come in great numbers, usually striking once with everything they have got to overcome an enemy. Their units can be distinguished by their dark colour scheme (Represented with the shades of purple), and alien technology. Their leader is Kiyuk.
