GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: Orphans of Csilla
• Affiliation: Chiss Revengeancy / Zulc'Sarid'endatzu ("Csariden")
• Classification: Irregular Infantry / Zealot Militia
• Description: The Orphans of Csilla are desperate, ragtag conscripts forged from the smoldering aftermath of planetary extinction. Many are true orphans, survivors of bombardment or political purges, while others were born after the annihilation, radicalized by loss and propaganda. They wear scorched remnants of old CEDF uniforms and warpaint made from soot and shattered Chiss alloy. Despite poor equipment, they fight with fanatic courage and terrifying resolve — chanting vows and charging positions meant for trained troops. Often called "Cinders" by their elite counterparts.

COMBAT INFORMATION:

• Unit Size: Large
• Unit Availability: Common
• Unit Experience: Recruit
  • Equipment:
  • Scavenged Charric rifles and slugthrowers
  • Fragmentation grenades (old surplus, high risk of misfire)
  • Ascension guns (limited deployment)
  • Basic body armor or flak jackets (often mismatched)
  • Propaganda tattoos and ritualized facepaint
• Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): N/A

Strengths:

• Fanatical Resolve: They fear nothing. Not death, not pain, not failure — only being forgotten.
• Overwhelming Numbers: Deployed in massive groups to saturate an area, allowing tactical exploitation of chaos and distraction.

Weaknesses:

• Poor Training: Most have minimal combat experience and no tactical discipline; they die in droves when unsupported.
• Instability: Emotionally volatile and prone to infighting, panic spirals, or martyrdom stunts without orders.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION The Orphans of Csilla formed in the wake of the planet’s annihilation by the Brotherhood of the Maw. Lacking structure, purpose, or protection, many Chiss survivors turned to revenge as a reason to live. Csariden gave them that reason. He gave them purpose and in return they give him fire and blood, vengeance and perdition.

What began as a anger-driven mob became a doctrine. The Orphans are organized not by discipline and doctrine, but by cults of personality, those who stir the fury in their respective mobs, armed with salvage, and trained only to kill — not survive. Their first engagements were bloodbaths. But their message resonated: “We die now, you die next.”

Now the Orphans serve as the soul of the Revengeancy — not polished, but pure. Not skilled, but unshakeable. And while most fall, a rare few are taken for enhancement — reforged into Revenants.
