Origin

The Destroyer-Class are the rarest of the Engineered and the most extreme. They were created from Prince Daer's deepening paranoia and fierce drive to protect his brother, Emperor Varethis'Auren Kel'varesh, amid rising threats during the Era of Late Conquest. The other classes were designed for conquering terrain and environments that natural biology could not survive; the Destroyers were created solely as a response to threats that the other classes could not answer. Their frames amplify Assault-Class capability beyond what any other living thing on the planet can match, rooted in Frost Sentinel resilience and scaled past anything the other classes approach. They are repulsed by violence, seek isolation, and want nothing more than to be left alone, which is remarkable for beings whose entire existence was justified by the expectation that they would be used.

Physicality

Destroyer-Class individuals have been known to reach over 9 feet in height. Many who encounter them for the first time assume their deployment armor exaggerates their size, but the size is their own and the armor only adds to it. No version of a Destroyer-Class individual appears manageable or ordinary, and on first contact natural-born humans are forced to recalibrate what they believed was physically possible for a living being.

The smallest recorded Destroyer hybrid was a female who stood 7'7" and weighed 510 lbs. She could leap and sprint with full deployment gear as if she were an Assault-Class individual, so the smaller hybrid frame concentrated Destroyer output at full strength.

Genetics and Reproduction

The Destroyer-Class carries dominant genes with a 100 percent conception rate, meaning any union involving a Destroyer will produce a Destroyer-lineage child regardless of the other parent's biology, so the template propagates without dilution. However, their gestation period is six times longer than the typical natural-born term, and their desire to both fight and reproduce is extraordinarily low. They seek neither partners nor conflict, and the traits that make them unstoppable also leave them uninterested in producing more of themselves, so they exist in the smallest numbers of any Engineered class despite the genetic certainty of their propagation. Fewer than 10,000 are alive, and their young are so rare they are almost never seen.

Deployment

They deploy in tight squads of two to five and overwhelm strongholds and forces across any terrain. Fewer than 100 have ever taken a contract in recorded history. Those who did acted only due to circumstance or to protect someone else, and none have ever continued contracting. They are repulsed by warfare and violence, though they were engineered to excel at nothing else.

Temperament

Post-battle, they shun contact and seek remote solitude, and they rarely form bonds with natural-born humans. The only companions they tolerate in their isolation are Assault-Class, and this tolerance appears to stem from recognition that Assault-Class impulsivity is harmless to them in a way it would be dangerous for natural-borns or other classes. They seek peace.

Ice Bear Territory

The Destroyer-Class are the only group on the planet known to live in the same territories as the Ngorrhali ice bears and survive without issue. They occupy the same glacial valleys and high altitude ice fields that no other population, natural-born or Engineered, will enter voluntarily. No one knows whether this coexistence comes from mutual recognition, mutual disinterest, or something else entirely, but the Destroyer-Class settle in these territories and the ice bears do not contest their presence as they contest everything else that enters their domain.

Brannok'Drekan

Brannok'Drekan is the most famous Destroyer-Class hybrid in recorded history, and he made the general population aware that Destroyer-Class hybrids existed at all. His actions at Auren's Tributary are the most viewed broadcast in Vinscel's career. He died of heart failure after the Warlord Eras ended, because the natural human side of his biology could not sustain the output his Destroyer heritage enabled. His death confirmed that the Destroyer template cannot be safely diluted: it functions at full expression or it destroys the vessel that carries a partial version of it.
