Eugenics Cult

Main > Rules > Faction Rules > Faction Tags > Eugenics Cult

The forbidden maltech secrets of advanced human genetic manipulation are known to this faction, and they use them with gusto. Slave-engineered humanoids and “deathless” leadership are just two of the more common alterations these unstable scientists undertake.
Effect: Eugenics Cultists can buy the Gengineered Slaves asset; it’s an asset requiring Force 1 with the statistics of 6 HP, 2 FacCred cost, tech level 4 required, with an Attack of Force vs. Force/1d6 damage and a Counterattack of 1d4 damage. Once per turn, the Eugenics Cult can roll an extra d10 on an attack or defense by a Gengineered Slaves asset, regardless of the stat being used. Gengineered Slaves can count as either a Military Unit or Special Forces, determined when the cult first creates a specific asset.
