Infinity: Faction Review Ariadna
Andyman is back! This time we take a look at our past, glorious or otherwise, in the forces of Ariadna. Lets go!
These guys are the only link between what we (presently) consider our history and then shoot them forward a few centuries. It’s the little details that make these guys an awesome faction! Did you know they are the only humans in the Human Sphere who can still produce Coca-Cola(r)? Claymores with rifles? Check. Russian infantry with bazookas? Check. Werewolf-like soldiers with dual-wielding chain rifles? Wait…what…?
Ariadna; the Human Sphere’s only living link to its past. Descendents of the survivors of Humanity’s first attempt at colonization of space. Living and growing using the same technology for centuries, these rugged individuals have endured on a hostile planet cut off from a home-world that left them for dead. Now the Human Sphere appears and considers the planet rich for the taking. The people of Ariadna have but one response; come and get it…
The last image anyone saw of the crew of the fateful ship was it being engulfed into a wormhole. From the view of the rest of Humanity, they were on their way to greatness and would report their findings within weeks. Weeks turned into months and turned into years; nothing. Written off and with no way to effectively communicate to them, these pioneer ships were given up for dead. The crew and cargo of the colonization ship Ariadna had no idea they would be cut off and be forced to survive in an alien and unforgivable environment.
The world that the Human Sphere would name Ariadna was rich with fertile land as well as cunning natives. The Antipodes are dog-like creatures possessed of limited intelligence that attacked the colonists of Ariadna en mass. Despite several waves, they were fought back and before it was all over it was discovered that pregnent humans infected with Antipode saliva would produce a hybrid breed. This new species would be integrated into the fighting forces of the Ariadna although in many cases they are treated as lesser citizens…
Years roll on and the people of Ariadna continue their existence wondering what is in store for their future…the Human Sphere answered. It did not take long before the various industries of Earth saw Ariadna ripe for the plucking but it was when the major factions became involved that the truth was revealed. For the Human Sphere a footnote in history was discovered and finally closed; for Ariadna, it was a time of reckoning…
The Merovingians are quick to deploy and fast to move about the field. “Minutemen” forces in the extreme, these guys pack a great punch for being so mobile. Combining speed and light weapons, they can still be a match for any force currently on the battlefield. Several select forces specialize in hit-and-run tactics that utilize camouflage and surprise. Sneaky and resolute, they are required to deploy at any time all over Ariadna!
