Scions
Once at the pinnacle of Cyclosa's societal hierarchy resided the Scions, an assemblage of affluent and influential figures who resided within the city's heart - Arcadia. They were Cyclosa's cream of the crop, with unrestricted access to the finest resources and technological advancements the city could furnish. With the most at stake in the face of the Vynax invasion, surrender was not an option for the Scions.
During the Vynax onslaught, the Scions exploited their wealth and contacts to shield themselves and their kin. They sought refuge in Arcadia, the city quarter least scathed by the invasion, owing to its technologically superior and fortified infrastructure. Equipped with top-tier technology and resources, their resolution was to endure, rebuild, and thrive.
As the conflict between Advent and Cyclosa persisted, the Scions acknowledged their unique position to resurrect the city and reinstate its former magnificence. Amidst the war's chaos and destruction, they discerned an opportunity to grasp power and architect Cyclosa's future.
Their aspirations, however, stretched beyond mere city restoration. Their vision encompassed a more audacious agenda: human enhancement via genetic engineering and cybernetics. They held the conviction that by implementing these, a superior human race capable of surviving and prospering in the altered world could be conceived.
To realise this ambitious goal, they utilised their wealth and networks to amass novel technologies and resources. They erected clandestine research facilities within Arcadia, pioneering research into genetic engineering and cybernetics. Their thirst for knowledge was unyielding, their methods ruthless, with every measure justified in their quest for their objectives.
Their presence proliferated throughout the city's core, leveraging their expertise to augment the infrastructure and life quality. Their resolve was to construct a utopia within Arcada, a city habited solely by the most superior humans. They showed readiness to obliterate any opposition, unperturbed by the ensuing consequences.
Perceiving themselves as Cyclosa's only hope for a prosperous future, the Scions were prepared to resort to any means to fulfill their vision. Their pursuit of power was relentless, unhesitant to deploy their resources and influence to wrest control over the city. Thus, the term 'Scions' came to denote a power-hungry, ambitious faction that would stop at nothing in its pursuit of its goals.
The Scions commenced territorial expansion, annexing other city parts and neutralizing any opposition. Their tactics were ruthless, rapidly propelling them to become one of Cyclosa's dominant factions.
Their ultimate ambition was city-wide control, using their might to mould humanity's future. Determined to create a superior human race, they intended to utilise their technology and resources towards this end.
Additionally, the Scions were resolute in procuring any alien technology within reach. Squads were dispatched to salvage any remnants of Advent technology and infiltrate their vessels. They theorised that by appropriating this technology, their objectives could be achieved more expediently and efficiently.
The Scions, a formidable and ambitious faction, operated under a shroud of secrecy. Their methodologies and aspirations invoked caution among Cyclosa's other factions, with some even perceiving them as a threat to the city's survival. Nonetheless, the Scions remained undeterred in their pursuit, heedless of the costs. They possessed the necessary resources and technology and harboured no qualms about employing them.
