I'm Sorry Dave
- Intent: Like your mooks more faceless than the average Legionnaire? Look no further!

- Role: Fodder for the Sith-Imperial war machine.
- Permissions: I hereby give myself permission to use my own subs.
- Links: The Hollow Hungerers | The Gormak Irregulars | Technobeasts
- Unit Name: The Reforged, also known as the Legionem Mortis
- Affiliation: The Sith Empire (Majority) | The Primyn Group (Minority)
- Classification: Reanimated Cyborg Infantry
- Description: Broken by the war and claimed by death they may be, but through obscure (and thoroughly unethical) techniques the Reforged are rebuilt to further the goals of the Empire in death as they did in life... or more often to do battle with former allies in the name of the ruthless regime they died resisting.
- Unit Size: Large
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Trained
- Equipment: As cybernetic warriors destined to "live" and die in service to the Sith Empire, the Reforged are frequently outfitted with integrated weaponry of some kind, ranging from blasters, to vibroweapons, to slugthrowers and more unusual armaments still, such as integrated grenade launchers; likewise, armour-plating is often grafted directly onto their bodies, especially around vital parts such as the chest and head. In addition, they can generally be assumed to have access to the following:
- "Judicator" Adaptive Battle Rifle
- Gurreck Heavy Shotgun
- PX-26 "Hellflare" Plasma Rifle
- PX-36 "Annihilator" Handheld Energy Torpedo Launcher
- "Extinguisher" Precision Pulse Cannon
- EWR-52 "Purge" Flamethrower
- Various grenades, especially frags and Firestorms.
- If external melee weaponry is needed, power maces and vibromachetes are favoured.
- Combat Function: The Reforged are not known for their creativity, mercy, or hesitation, but for their relentless advances unheeding of risk and uncaring of any damage their bodies may sustain; they are most effective in a seize and hold role, pushing out enemy forces through ruthless determination and sheer unadulterated grit before hunkering down and holding the line to the last man. Because they do not field vehicles of their own, air and ground support by other elements of the Sith-Imperial Legion is often advisable.
- Perfectly Expendable, As All Mooks Should Be: Created from mostly intact corpses (preferably from soldiers, as the techniques used are decent at preserving muscle memory) and spare metals/tech, the Reforged are about as expendable as they come.
- Combat Subroutines ≠ Intelligence: The Reforged are ruthlessly efficient, if uninspired, combatants, but that's about it. While additional programming can be added in order to make them capable of, e.g., maintenance functions, they are otherwise woefully limited.
- Need That Nanogene: Unlike the Technobeasts of yore, the Reforged need a single dose of specialised nanogenes each, limiting their numbers without secure supply chains heading to and from the few laboratories capable of synthesising such chemicals.
Born of cooperation between the Pyramids of Scientific Advancement and Military Command and Alchemists affiliated with the Primyn Group, the project that would become the Reforged was initiated on the request of
Telis Taharin-Zambrano
as a result of the heavy losses suffered during the war with the New Imperial Order. Rendering "spare materials" such as corpses and scrap metal into a form fit for combat through a blending of fringe science and alchemical substances, the project has proven to be an important step towards "zero waste warfare".While ethical concerns have been raised about the "desecration of the fallen", they were quickly assuaged by the assurance that any Legionnaire could ward off such a fate by filling out a simple form and that enemy combatants were "practically asking for it".
