<p style="line-height:20px;">piercer darts: darts with plasma warheads, so strong, they are capable of piercing power armor.

<p style="line-height:20px;">blink drive: equipment built into the armor that is capable of short warp jumps. it does this by dividing the particles, then ionizing them into plasma. once the drive is fully optimized, it seperates the atoms and leaps them into the warp for a quadrillionth of a second. this would normally kill a person, if they were in the warp for more then a quarter of a milisecond, but as it is it is a mini-warp drive which can zap small things forward around 30 feet.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Accelerator bows: bows fitted with a particle accelerator, that launches piercer arrows (like piercer darts, only longer, heavier, more expensive, and made to be shot from an accelerator) at warp speeds. The arrowheads are super-hard, so they retain their sharpness on impact. Only those within the Serpentshrine guard are allowed to have such weapons.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Lore: Exodite splinter cell. Was right ahead of the Grand crusade when it ended. because of a mixture of this and various political situations, The planet became a part of the Imperium of man, but the exodites planetside were able to leave. While most of the military and population simply went to other exodite planets, a large portion of the military (60-75%) Became a splinter cell, roaming as a nomadic fleet in border territories, the cell transformed in both type and size, as more eldar and exodites joined as time went by. eventually, after a coup of the genetically manipulated High prince Talik vax Elexios,  calling themselves the chryllites, began looking for a planet to lay claim to.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Chain of command (characters):

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">High prince Talik vax Elexios ai centauraus:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Talik has been the High Prince of the Chryllites since the previous commander of the defencive systems of the original planet was deposed by unknown assassins. After he siezed control by recoding the electronic systems of all ships to recognize him and only him as their commander, he elevated those loyal to him to positions of command, and forced the rest of the crew to recognize him as High Prince (a title he himself had decided to add.) After radically changing the power base, organization, and design of the ships, he invested heavily in researching upgrades from his flagship's. As time went on, the soldiers gradually came to accept him as their leader, though some of the old commanders still begrudge him his authority. But after 30 years, they have admitted that it would appear that he is by far the most tactically and psychically adept warrior among their ranks- and that his reign is far from over.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">High Fleet admiral Serock vek Naros:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Serock, a psionically adept pilot, was originally a standard warrior in the ranks before Talik (violently) elevated him to a low position of command. He quickly progressed through the ranks once he had a chance, and soon became the Admiral of the Largest (and second most powerful) ship inside of the fleet- the archon- and with the ship, the title of High Fleet admiral, the commander of the entire fleet while Talik was either occupied or planetside.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Admiral Farentril:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">second-in-command aboard Talik's flagship (only third largest, but easily the most powerful- the Titanstar), he commands its systems as often as talik, as he is placed in command while talik isnt onboard, which is highly common. Was present for the on-ship coup that lead to taliks rise to power.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Serpentshrine Herekrus Numeax:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">the only serpentshrine herakrus, He is the second ground commander planetside. He directs the soldiers while Talik is occupied, and acts as commander of the Second legion (there are three en-total) while talik is present. While he didnt originally support talik, he now acts as his loyal herekrus.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Herekrus narmarscus:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Commander of the third legion. Supported Taliks rise to power.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Herekrus narmarant:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Second commander of First legion. Commands it when Talik isnt present.

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Guardian Hetrak:

<p style="line-height:20px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">The most powerful of the serpentshrine guard (other then serock and talik) he is often sent on assassination and sabateur missions. Commands the Serpentshrine while Talik isnt present.
