Warborn (Star Flash Universe)

Warborn's powers and abilities

There are different models of warborn bodies each with a different role in the field. Typically squads of five warborn are sent to combat a specific threat or complete a mission. The variety of threats to Earth since the star flash have necessitated the use of Italy advanced warfare techniques. Numerous alien species and technologies have proven to standard warfare strategy and tactics are ineffective. The Warborn Program leveled the battlefield and gives humans a fighting chance against continued cosmic alien threats. A squad typically consists of one squad leader, two fast attack, one artillery and one sniper.

Squad Leader- designed for all around use. It has a mix of offensive and defensive capabilities while not specializing in any one area aside from battlefield analysis and communications. It is a medium armored machine that’s light enough for agile movement but also armored enough to take some damage.

Fast Attack- a lightweight and very agile machine specializing in fast moving tactical strikes with a subrole of scouting and reconnaissance. It is the smallest and lightest of the warborn and is thus the most lightly armored. Speed and agility are its best weapons as it has very light armor and moderate weapons systems.

Artillery/Demolition- a heavy hitting and devastating warborn packed with large munitions and thick armor. These are the largest and slowest moving models but lack the biggest punch.

Sniper/Support- built off the same chassis as the squad leader and with similar armor and agility. It has offensive systems designed for high ground distance support. It directly feeds information to the squad leader’s systems and provides overwatch sniper duties as well as some scouting and reconnaissance by virtue of his high ground location in the field.

There are currently only 35 Warborn in existence with a total program cost of twenty one billion dollars. Each single warborn, generally speaking and regardless of specific role, is the equivalent of roughly one full platoon (about 20-50) of human soldiers.

Commander Cayden “Spirit of Battle” James is the field commander of the Warborn program and is the most potent and successful operator there is. He has worked hand in hand with Mithion and the other heroes in stopping numerous cosmic threats. His battle capability and combat skills far surpass any other warborn operator. Cayden’s personal warborn, a squad leader model, has been given numerous upgrades and enhancements and has been given the title of Warborn Prime.
