A planetary rebellion from beneath: vast tunnels, mutant hordes, psychic wails. The scout squad must collapse the hive and install subterranean force-beacons to suppress mutation vectors. This is the bloodiest campaign. Underground psychic feedback threatens sanity. The scout must lead and survive as comrades fall.
Droids must dig for fallen scouts. They deploy Drill-Class Excavators, breaking through tunnels to retrieve half-buried soldiers. Medic droids use psychic blockers during recovery, shielding both scout and surgeon. Above, Death Star support is held in reserve—used only as last resort.
Mutations can cause flesh-warping. The body is purged and restructured. Full synthetic nerve lattices are grafted. New limbs use anti-psi alloys to block telepathic control. Internal organs are shielded in black-iron shells. Some scouts develop voice distortion—earning the nickname “Grave Talkers.”
