Varkem Hover Rover

By Chief Designer Corpare

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Varkem Hover Rover, or “Hrover” as it is frequently referred to (what a stupid name), is a land vehicle that flies slightly above surfaces using its hull-mounted magnetic thrusters that repel it from the metal-rich rocks of the surface.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If the gravity was any stronger this vehicle probably wouldn’t be as effective, but on this planet, it’s perfect. It can traverse any terrain - rocky, snowy, sandy, watery… or should I say methaney - good luck finding H2O on this planet.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It has some difficulty on dealing with vertical walls or other extremely rugged terrain, but who cares? It’s an awesome vehicle!

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Hover Rover seats up to seven soldiers, though it could probably fit a few more if they stand - no social distancing in that scenario!

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There is a matter manipulator embedded into the back that can be used to generate weapons or other items, but it can also generate a variety of different attachments directly into its back, such as laser cannons.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This gives the Hover Rover a great deal of versatility.
Heavy Chair

The **Heavy Chair** is a powerful weapon that can be found in the City.

### Obtaining

The Heavy Chair can be found in a secret room with a secret code that needs to be entered to spawn in the chair. Entering that code successfully will also make every boss that can drop a heavy weapon have separate 100% chance of dropping that weapon.
The Encounter

**The Encounter** is a fifth section of Chapter 2 where you go to the cafeteria with Lucas.

## Walkthrough

Follow Lucas from the training building to the adjacent building, which contains the Cafeteria, and the Personnel Quarters on the far end. A cutscene will take you through getting some food from the chefs, and then a conversation with Lucas. He leaves to go to the bathroom, however at that same moment some strange purple gas appears in the air.

Approach the purple gas in order to get it to move, then keep following it. It will lead you through the Personnel Quarters, then up some levels, then across a bridge back into the Main Operations Building, then across another bridge to the Matter Manipulation Facility. It will then lead you out the back to a large, open hatch. However, Hyso calls for you on your suit’s comm systems at the same moment that you find the hatch, and you have to choose between going back to him or ignoring him and entering the hatch.

Choosing to enter the hatch shows a brief, fleeting cutscene of what is inside before depositing you back out from the hatch, leaving you free to go back to Hyso. Spoiler: This chooise will affect the endings

Return to Hyso at the same place where you first met him, and you will find him and Utgy standing over a holographic map. They point out that another human that Hyso was tracking, named Narelle, has escaped from the Celestial, but landed on the Crystalline Crater Highlands, much further away than where you and Lucas landed. After the briefing, follow Utgy outside, where he will lead you to a Hover Rover hat will take you there.

## Equipment

There are no new items that can be found in this section.

## Recommendations

* If you haven’t already, check the storage compartment room on level 2 of the Main Operations Building, including the upper section. You can reach that upper section using rocket boots.
* The protein substance given to you by Chef Lasaga can be dropped near the Robot Cat to gain special effects:
	+ Metal-flavored one grants you Resistance I for 99999 seconds. It resets upon dying and is not regiven.
	+ Brocсoli-flavored protein matter grants you Speed I for 99999 seconds. It also resets upon dying and is not regiven.
	+ The Celestial-Drone's-butt-flavored one... slightly changes the Rocket Boots mechanic. This fun feature does NOT reset upon dying and accompanies you until the end of the map.
Varkem Ravager

**Varkem Ravagers** are mobile combat mounts that appear throughout Chapter 4 of the map.

## Appearance

Varkem Ravagers resemble Ravagers from the base game but have a black and green colour scheme.

## Behaviour

Varkem Ravagers always spawn ridden by a Varkem Soldier who wields one of the three Varkem-tier ranged weapons (Plasma Rapid Blaster, Varkem Commando Phaser, or Fusion Energy Launcher) and no melee weapon.

The Ravager itself has a very high amount of health and knockback resistance, and has a powerful melee attack which itself has very high knockback.

It attacks just like in the base game, ramming the player with its head, and emits a roar that deals immense knockback to the player and nearby Varkem Soldiers if it was stunned by an Energy Shield.

## Notes

* If you try to use a Shockwave Gauntlet or Magnetic Repulsor’s slam attack against them, be aware that getting hit by them while leaping upwards can lead to you getting knocked very far back and wasting the attack.
The Dematerialisation Field

**The Dematerialisation Field** is a lore book that tells about the Dematerialisation Field. This book can be found in the armor room in the Celestial Ship.

Written by Captain Kelrig

The Dematerialisation Field

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If anyone tried to analyse the effectiveness of the *Celestial* in combat scenarios, the first thing they’d probably point out would be the fact that the bridge sticks straight out from the top and is exposed on all sides, making it an easy target.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Well, I have two things to say to that. First, the *Celestial* was never intended to be a combat vessel, despite all of the offensive and defensive weaponry and drones on here.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Second, the dematerialisation field is in place and it’s a far stronger defence than force fields and armor plating.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It is filled with molecules that actively disintegrate any other molecules that try to enter it. In other words, if a spaceship, projectile, or person goes into it, they’re gone. Reduced to atoms.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The only thing that would take down the dematerialisation field would be if someone got into the Central Power Module and flipped all the switches off. But that’s literally the most highly guarded area of the ship.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There are a hundred Celestipedes and five thousand Bomber Drones down there. It’s basically suicide trying to get in there.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Drone Arm

The **Drone Arm** is a weapon that can be obtained in Chapter 1. It has a 1% chance of dropping from a Worker Drone.

### Notes

* Depending on which type of Worker Drone, orange or blue, was killed, a different variant of Drone Arm will drop, with different lore but the exact same stats.

### Tips

* Because of the Drone Arm's lack of an attack cooldown, it is better than the Metal Sword for taking down small groups of enemies. However, when facing a large group of enemies, the Metal Sword is more helpful because it can deal sweeping damage to all the enemies in one swing and knock them back.
Combat Drone

The **Combat Drone** is a strong melee drone that basically replace Worker Drones in Chapter 2 onwards and commonly spawn throughout the rest of the map.

## Design

Combat Drones wear a full suit of Metal Armor and their right arm ends with a Metal Sword. Like Worker and Ranged Drones, their eye can be either orange or blue.

## Behaviour

Combat Drones behave similar to Worker Drones, walking to the player and attacking with its Metal Sword. Unlike Worker Drones, they cannot be hacked using an Electric Hacking Gauntlet. They have more health, attack damage and knockback resistance than Worker Drones.

'Bulky' Combat Drones hold a shield similar to that of a Shield Drone, however it does not function the same. Instead it gives them more health, knockback resistance, and the ability to jump up and slam the ground. The slam deals 6 hearts of damage, but can be easily avoided.

'Glass' Combat Drones have two glass tubes extending downwards on the back of their head. These have higher movement speed and attack damage, and have the ability of teleporting to the player from a distance of up to 8 blocks away. They can also stun the player's Energy Shield for 5 seconds if it blocks their attack.
Help!

**Help!** is a book written by Lucas where he says where he is and that drones are flying to the "Earth".

Written by Lucas

## Contents

I don’t know where I am or what is going on, but what I do know is that I’m in danger.

Earth is being invaded by robots from another planet! And they’re not like the friendly droids from Star Wars, they’re more like the killer robots from Terminator!

I’m going to die, we’re all going to die! There’s no way humanity will band together and miraculously save the world like in Independence Day, we’re all gonna die!!!

## Trivia

* This page took the least time to write.
Bomber Drone

The **Bomber Drone** is an airborne drone that first spawns in the Crystalline Craters and rarely throughout the rest of the map.

## Design

The Bomber Drone consists of the same head as an Exploder Drone, and 2 cuboid segments below it which have gray and red stripes on them.

## Behaviour

Bomber Drones have a completely custom AI. Basically they randomly pick an ‘attackable’ target (which can be either a player or an ally) and fly to a spot about 10 blocks above their target before dropping a bomb that instantly explodes. Upon doing so they repick a new target and start the process again.

## Strategy

Take advantage of the fact that it also attempts to drop bombs on allies. When it is travelling to another ally to drop a bomb on them, use that chance to land some shots on it.
Heavy Pusher Drone Blaster

The **Heavy Pusher Drone Blaster** is a rare ranged weapon that can be obtained in Chapter 3.

### Obtaining

A Heavy Pusher Drone has a 10% chance to drop a Heavy Pusher Drone Blaster.

### Tips

The Heavy Pusher Drone Blaster is essentially better than the Varkem Commando Phaser in every way, having matching damage. but has increased knockback, can inflict Frostburn and also lacking a movement debuff.
The Uncharted Planet

The Uncharted Planet is a second section of Chapter 2. The planet on which the main base of the Varkems is located.

## Walkthrough

The Uncharted Planet is largely devoid of drones or any other life. Instead, you will need to deal with environmental hazards and your oxygen level. There are some oxygen vents spread throughout the area, including one near the start which Lucas points out. These restore your oxygen by 10% per second while standing in them.

The first area you will be in has a rock bridge that leads over a river, but shortly after crossing it you will enter an area filled with geysers. Geysers inflict six hearts of damage should you get caught by one as it explodes, and you’ll also take a bit more fall damage as a result. Shortly after it will also begin hailing, which gets accompanied by large ice-balls that fall from the sky and explode. You have to look up to avoid getting blown up, but also look down to avoid stepping onto a geyser. Eventually you will reach an overhang where you can take shelter.

However, at this moment a person wearing a Space Suit drops down in front of you, and yells that the overhang is about to collapse. After narrowly escaping he puts up a force field and introduces himself as General Utgy - Hyso’s right-hand man. After some dialogue the hailstorm subsides and he takes down the force field, and you can keep moving. Utgy and the two other Varkem Soldiers with him move of their own accord, leading you in the direction that you need to go.

Eventually you’ll enter a land covered with black sand, and a sandstorm whips up that inflicts the blindness effect on you. Utgy turns on his suit’s homing beacon, which shows as a green glowing cube above him, so that you can keep up with him. When you reach the other side of the desert the sandstorm clears, and you will see a large lake of liquid methane with a rising mountain-range behind it.

Utgy, Lucas and the other soldiers will dive into the methane. Follow them into some hidden tunnels that lead through a large cave, and eventually you will emerge out of the other side.

## Equipment

There are no new items that can be found in this section.

## Recommendations

There isn’t much to say, really. This section of the map begins to get more story-based.
Metal Armor

## Metal Armor Full

**Metal Armor** is the set of armor that the player wears during most of Chapter 1 and the start of Chapter 2. It consists of the **Metal Chestplate**, **Metal**

**Leggings** and **Metal Boots**, which are all unlocked when being introduced to the Matter Manipulator.

## Metal Chestplate

### Crafting

A Metal Chestplate can be crafted with 8 Metal arranged in the same way as a chestplate in vanilla Minecraft.

## Metal Leggings

### Crafting

Metal Leggings can be crafted with 7 Metal arranged in the same way as leggings in vanilla Minecraft.

## Metal Boots

### Crafting

Metal Boots can be crafted with 4 Metal arranged in the same way as boots in vanilla Minecraft.
Cryo Pods

**Cryo Pods** is a lore book that tells about the humans and cryo pods. This book can be found in the Cryo Ward.

Cryo Pods

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Human beings have such a pitifully short lifespan. The journey from their planet to ours would consume half of a human’s lifespan, during which time they’d have nothing to do.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Well, except maybe live in one of the Bioctagons, but there is only so much space on there. They might be able to handle it for a few years, but decades… I wouldn’t be so sure.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Humans have a tendency to go crazy after extended periods of time. Especially considering the sheer number of humans that we have abducted. Humans also have a tendency to develop unnecessary conflicts and rivalries at the absolute worst situations.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These reasons are why we decided to freeze everyone into cryo-pods, preserving their current organic makeup for the entire journey. This way, they’ll all be the same age when they arrive as they were when they were abducted.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Perfect for everything we have planned for them…

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Electric Hacking Gauntlet

The **Electric Hacking Gauntlet** is a weapon that can be crafted in Chapter 1. It is unlocked after crafting the Laser Blaster, Laser Drill and a full set of Metal Armor, and like them, can be crafted in a Matter Manipulator.

### Usage

The Electric Hacking Gauntlet can be used as a melee weapon, being stronger but slower than a Metal Sword.

However, it also has the unique ability to hack Worker Drones within 5 blocks of the player when used, making them passive and also target mobs you attack. Hacked Worker Drones can also activate Drone Identification Slots. Only one hacked drone at a time can exist, and it can also die.

### Crafting

An Electric Hacking Gauntlet can be crafted with 4 Metal and 4 Electric Cells.
Leader Hyso

**Leader Hyso** is the leader of the Varkem Forces, the resistance against the alien threat.

## Quotes

* (From the second teaser trailer) "We call ourselves the Varkem Forces. We’ve been trapped on this barren rock for many years."

## Trivia

* Hyso first appeared in the second teaser trailer, where he introduced the Varkem Forces and gave an outline of the goal of the map, but his name was not yet known. His name was revealed later in a tweet on July 8th, 2020.
My Robot Cat

**My Robot Cat** is a lore book which talks about Chef Lasaga's pet called "Robot Cat". This book can be found in the Chef Lasaga's room in Personnel Quarters.

My Robot Cat

By Chef Lasaga

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When I was home, I had a pet. A pet who was very, very dear to me. Sadly, there are no animals on Desolend. There isn’t enough life on this rock to fill a space cruiser.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Fortunately, you can create anything with matter manipulation, so I decided to create a robot cat. He doesn’t really have a name, but I programmed him with all the behaviours and mannerisms I have come to expect from cats.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Things like sitting around doing nothing and incessant begging for food.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I also programmed him to believe he really is a real cat and isn’t a robot.

Don’t tell him he’s a robot.

He won’t like that.
Absolute Zero

The **Absolute Zero** is a Celron-tier weapon that has the ability to beam a laser like the Extreme Beam, but has higher damage, range and the ability to slow enemies, essentially being an upgraded version of the Extreme Beam. Its recipe is unlocked at the beginning of Chapter 4, at the same time as every other Celron-tier weapon.

### Crafting

An Absolute Zero can be crafted using the same resourses as an Extreme Beam, but with Celron materials, that is, 4 Celron Metal, 1 Celron Grip and 2 Celron Energy Cores.

### Usage

Like the Extreme Beam and Laser Drill, a beam that can destroy highlighted blocks can be fired from the Absolute Zero by holding the mouse button. However, it has a longer range than the Extreme Beam, deals double the damage and also slows enemies.
Antigravity Surger

### Lore

When this core is slammed down it unleashes an aura that messes with the laws of physics

The **Antigravity Surger** is a rare weapon that has a chance to drop from the Aerial Assault Drone in the Crystalline Craters on defeat.

### Usage

When used, the Antigravity Surger unleashes an antigravity burst that damages and levitates all enemies within 8 blocks of the user for 5 seconds. It has a 15 second cooldown between uses.

### Tips

* The Antigravity Surger can stun a lot of drones at once with its levitation, making them ripe for picking off with an Extreme Beam or Plasma Rapid Blaster, though allied Varkem Soldiers may have trouble hitting levitating drones themselves.
Subspace Rapid Blaster

The **Subspace Rapid Blaster** is a Celron-tier endgame ranged weapon, essentially being the upgraded variant of a Plasma Rapid Blaster. Its recipe is unlocked in the beginning of Chapter 4, at the same time as every other Celron-tier weapon.

## Usage

Subspace Rapid Blaster has the same mechanics as the Plasma Rapid Blaster, being able to be constantly fired by spamming right click. However, it now has the ability to pierce through one enemy and hit another enemy behind them.

## Crafting

A Subspace Rapid Blaster can be crafted using 3 Celron Metal, 1 Celron Grip, 1 Celron Barrel and 1 Celron Energy Core

## Tips

Subspace Rapid Blaster can be used in situations where you need to run and shoot at the same time, then this weapon is perfect for this
Angry Birds McDonald's

**Angry Birds McDonald's** was a game released on September 28, 2012. It comes with the regular powerups. This game is made to promote McDonald's. It comes with 4 new items: A Burger, French Fries, a Drink, and a Big Mac.

The game is in Chinese and was made to promote Mcdonald's' Angry Birds promotion in China. There are 6 levels, but one can only play 2 of them. However, to play the other 4 levels, you need to register with your email.

The game can't be played anymore and its homepage is now redirected to the Angry Birds homepage. It can be accessed here.

## Background

4 levels are set near a McDonald's snake bar in a city and the other 4 are on a similar setting to the Angry Birds Seasons episode, Mooncake Festival (Moon Festival), but with a few altered changes in the backgrounds such as white clouds on the theme and rocks on the river.

Taken from Angry Birds Wiki
Heavy Pusher Drone

The **Heavy Pusher Drone** is a drone and the stronger variant of a Pusher Drone.

## Design

Heavy Pusher Drones look nearly identical to Pusher Drones other than the fact that they are slightly taller and have slightly larger shoulder pads.

## Appearances

The Heavy Pusher Drone appears at a few places throughout Chapter 3 of the map.

## Behaviour

Like Pusher Drones, they shoot bolts at the player at a range, dealing heavy knockback. However, like Heavy Ranged Drones, their shoots inflict Frostburn.

They have the same level of Projectile Protection on their armor as Bulky Pusher Drones, but don't have the ability to levitate into the air unlike Glass Pusher Drones.
Frostflame Arm

The **Frostflame Arm** is a melee spam weapon that has a 2% chance of dropping from Experimental Drone C-470.

### Tips

* The Frostflame Arm deals more damage than the Varkem Switchblade, and the same amount as the Varkem Energy Blade but with no attack cooldown. It also sets enemies on fire. It does not give you movement speed upon hit, however that’s not such a big deal.
Gravity Gauntlet

The **Gravity Gauntlet** is a powerful melee weapon that has the ability to levitate all nearby enemies. It is one of the four weapons that can drop from Colonel Spanner on defeat.

### Usage

The Gravity Gauntlet possesses slightly higher attack damage and the same attack speed as the Magnetic Repulsor. However, it now has the ability to levitate all nearby enemies similar to the Antigravity Surger but more powerful.

### Tips

At this point of the map, you will likely be facing large groups of enemies at almost all times. The Gravity Gauntlet can help throw every enemy within range off of you and allow you to more easily take them down and focus on other enemies.
Repair Drone

The **Repair Drone** is a flying drone that appears throughout Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the map. It first appears in the Fusion Engines area, and appears a couple more times as support.

## Design

*Shield Drones can project a shield over nearby drones, but they can't regenerate any damage that said drones may have suffered. That is what Repair Drones are designed to do. Stored inside them is a blueprint of every type of drone on board the ship. When repairing a drone, some matter is teleported from the ship's stockpiles to inside the Repair Drone. This matter is then beamed out into the drone it is repairing, regenerating damage and restoring it to optimal functionality. There is only so much it can repair in one go due to the size of the drone, and it also takes time for enough matter to get teleported into the Repair Drone before it can beam out a repairing pulse.*

Repair Drones resemble Electric Drones, but with a green eye instead of yellow.

## Behaviour

Repair Drones are different in that instead of attacking the player, they will follow nearby drones and repair them. Repair Drones beam a green ‘repair beam’ that repairs a drone by restoring health and providing a little bit of Shield Health.

Tier 1 Repair Drones heal 4 health and provide 4 Shield Health.

Tier 2 Repair Drones heal 4 health and provide 8 Shield Health instead.

Tier 3 Repair Drones heal 8 health and provide 8 Shield Health.

## Notes

* Repair Drones can heal most rare and boss mobs.

## Strategy

* Repair Drones can often get stuck against walls if they are trying to reach a far-away drone, letting you easily defeat them.
* It is a good idea to destroy Repair Drones quickly so that they don’t heal up drones that you are fighting. This can sometimes be difficult if facing off against a large group of melee enemies, but some weapons such as beam-weapons can make them relatively easy to take down.
* It is possible for a Shield Drone and a Repair Drone to form a somewhat difficult combo, where the Repair Drone keeps healing the Shield Drone while the Shield Drone’s shield prevents the player from destroying the Repair Drone.

## Trivia

* There was a point in beta-testing where Repair Drones would heal drones back to full health and provide 20 Shield Health. Because of this, a Shield Drone teaming up with a Repair Drone would mean losing the map and having to restart it.
* The Repair Drone has ended four separate runs from beta testers due to the above circumstance.
Flying Drone Head

The **Flying Drone Head** is a flying drone that functions similar to an Electric Drone. It only spawns in the Experimental Lab.

## Design

The Flying Drone Head looks similar to a Hopping Drone Head, but have 3 small tubes on the back of their head and can either have a blue or orange eye.

## Behaviour

Flying Drone Heads behave similar to Electric Drones, flying towards the player's head and inflicting electrical damage upon contact.
Fusion Grenade

The **Fusion Grenade** is a weapon that can be thrown and explodes on impact. Its recipe is unlocked at the same time as the Varkem Space Armor.

### Obtaining

Fusion Grenades can be crafted using 1 Fusion Cell, 1 Combat Drone Parts and 1 Timer. From Chapter 4 onwards, 1 Varkem Metal is required in place of the Combat Drone Parts.

Fusion Grenades can also sometimes drop from Bomber Drones in Chapter 3 and Experimental Drone R-0C4.

### Usage

Fusion Grenades can be thrown like eggs and snowballs. Once it hits an enemy or a block, the grenade will blow up and damage all nearby entities.
Varkem Energy Blade

The **Varkem Energy Blade** is the basic Varkem-tier melee weapon, equipped by members of the Varkem Forces. Its recipe is unlocked after finishing Utgy's training session in Training Time.

### Crafting

A Varkem Energy Blade can be crafted using 3 Varkem Metal, 1 Varkem Grip and 1 Varkem Energy Core.

### Tips

You may wish to skip the Varkem Energy Blade, since melee weapons aren’t hugely vital for the rest of Chapter 2, and you will unlock other melee weapons to craft in Chapter 3 that you may wish to spend your resources on instead.
Celestial

The **Celestial** is the ship that abducts the player in Celestial Protocol. It is the size of a city.

## Information

The *Celestial* is a large spaceship the size of a city. It appears to have a design consisting of four large octagon-shaped pieces at each corner, with a fifth on top of all of them, and a tower extending upwards to a large orange sphere.

It is commanded by Captain Kelrig, and is defended by many drones.

## History

It is known that the player and "several others" are abducted from Earth by the *Celestial*, and that the objective of the map will be to fight back in order to go home to Earth.

## Trivia

* A spaceship resembling the *Celestial* first appeared in Hidden Mission 5 of Assassin of Steve 3. It bears some differences compared to the ship seen in the second teaser trailer, such as being less detailed, and being made from regular iron blocks instead of the custom grayish iron blocks.
Shieldestipede

The **Shieldestipede** is a flying drone that appears in Supreme Celestipede boss fight.

## Design

Like Celestipede, the Shieldestipede consists of 20 segments which includes one head segment and one tail segment, with the rest being body segments, but they are covered with a shield.

## Appearances

The Shieldestipede appears in Supreme Celestipede boss fight as a mid drone. Two Shieldestipedes spawn on either side of the Supreme Celestipede, which shield it fully from damage.

## Strategy

* The best weapon against them is the Quantum Energy Launcher, which can do a good amount of explosive damage to them.

* Sky Laser Beacon can also deal huge damage to them if activated above them.

While onboard our decades-long mission from our homeworld, the extreme length of time is a good opportunity to utilise evolutionary algorithms in an attempt to create brand new experimental drones to excel at new applications.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Some of the results were successful, others not so much.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

C-001 - Nothing but a pile of inanimate matter.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

C-007 - This drone’s training data was a bunch of human films featuring a human actor with the ‘secret agent’ occupation. It insists on wielding a human pistol generated from a Matter Manipulator.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

C-117 - A fairly successful drone that has the ability to split some of its atoms away into four groups to create ‘illusions’, while retaining its true core systems and weapons in an invisible section in the middle. A cheaper form of this drone was then generated and given the designation C-177.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

C-148 - Does nothing but stand still and repeat the words “I don’t need you to agree with me” over and over again.
Heavy Aerial Drone

The **Heavy Aerial Drone** is a drone and the larger and stronger form of an Aerial Drone.

## Design

The Heavy Aerial Drone has an identical design to regular Aerial Drones, with the difference being that it is way larger.

## Appearances

Heavy Aerial Drones first appear in the Crystalline Craters and rarely throughout the rest of the map.

## Behaviour

Besides the abilities that a regular Aerial Drone has, Heavy Aerial Drones have the ability to pick up the player should they get close enough and shock them in their electric jaws. This deals a considerable amount of damage, often enough to kill.

## Strategy

If you place a Varkem Force Field and are inside it, a heavy aerial drone will not be able to get close to you and pick you up. The best weapon against them is either the Varkem Commando Phaser or Plasma Rapid Blaster.
Magnetic Hovercraft

The **Magnetic Hovercraft** is an item which can be placed on teal-outlined blocks to spawn a hovercraft that is controlled like a boat, except it floats in mid-air. Magnetic Hoverсraft can be crafted in the Central Databanks of Chapter 3 and is used periodically throughout the rest of the map.

## Magnetic Hovercraft

### Crafting

A Magnetic Hovercraft can be crafted using 5 Varkem Metal and 3 Levitry Magnets.
The Final Hub

**The Final Hub** is a post-game place where the player ends up after completing the Celestial Protocol. It is situated in an area that resembles the part of The City that was outside the cinema.

## Walkthrough

After the end credits, you end up back in the cinema in the City where you first fought the Heavy Worker Drone. You will then find Cavinator1 standing next to you holding a broom, who tells you to leave so he can scrub the floors. You then get put back in adventure and are free to explore the Final Hub.

## The Final Hub

The Final Hub itself contains a fair bit off secrets. For one, you can find various voice-acted characters of the map in here, and can push the button next to them to reveal the voice actor and also initiate some dialogue. There are quite a bunch of other secrets hidden in the Final Hub, so try to find them all!
Exploder Drone

The **Exploder Drone** is a drone that appears throughout much of the map.

## Design

*Exploder Drones are a type of drone used for combat situations. They can be sent in to quickly disrupt enemy forces thanks to the fact that they... um... explode. It's in their name, after all. Each Exploder Drone has a miniature nuclear cell inside of it which is primed to detonate at any moment. It normally takes a few seconds to explode but it is very powerful and can easily wipe out groups of foes, especially when a swarm of them are sent in all at once.*

Exploder Drones resemble Worker Drones but their eyes are bright red.

## Appearances

Exploder Drones first appear in the Exploder Hallways in huge numbers, and infrequently throughout the rest of the map.

## Behaviour

Exploder Drones are reminiscent of Creepers in terms of how they attack, with some differences. They activate their detonation sequence if the player gets close enough to them, causing their eyes to quickly flash red and white and also emit a loud, high-pitched beeping noise. Their movement speed also sharply increases as well, before exploding 3 seconds later. They are also capable of attacking the player via melee before they explode.

The only way to stop the detonation sequence is to destroy them.

## Strategy

* Unlike with Creepers, their detonation sequence will not stop if the player gets far enough away, however this means if a player sets one off they can simply try to run away to avoid the impending explosion.
* They drop Drone Parts, Deuterium Cells, Tritium Cells, Fusion Charges, and Timers upon being defeated, making it very worthwhile to take them down before exploding. They can also rarely drop the Exploder Drone Arm.
Customer Complaint

**Customer Complaint** is a lore book that tells about the last thursday. This book can be found in the Pearl Baker building in the City.

## Contents

At about 10:17am last Thursday, a woman struggled to open and get through the front door, opting to try to squeeze right through the centre of it, which isn’t technically meant to be opened.

After she managed to struggle her way inside she came up to us and said, quote, “Your door is the worst thing ever! I demand to see your manager!

The manager was not around, but I noted down her words and asked what she’d like to order.

Things escalated from there.

Research #3

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

C-626 - For some reason the drone came out with a shape resembling an Earth animal known as a ‘dog’. With spikes on its back. I decided to name it ‘Switch’, because it seems to have a fascination with switches.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

DUD-3 - This drone was trained on data that consisted of a lot of human movies featuring events known colloquially as ‘wild parties’ and types of humans with the ‘surfer’ occupation.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

H-U76 - A drone that is armed with sonic blasters on the ends of its arms that are capable of launching its targets far away. It is also plated with projectile-resistant armor.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

However, it has a strange glitch where the movement speed of its legs randomly fluctuate between very fast or almost immobile. This unpredictability could be of some use for throwing off foes, however.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

L-337 - This drone was created by blasting a huge amount of liquid nitrogen at it as it was forming. However, the whole process froze. Both figuratively and literally.
Assembler Drone (Book)

Assembler Drone

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Assembler Drone is essentially a drone that makes drones. Some could say that is perverse, on the basis that a matter manipulator can create a drone all on its own without needing to be a drone itself.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

That solves the Earthling dilemma over whether the chicken or the egg came first.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Or does it?

Never mind, I’m going off-topic again, aren’t I?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Varkem Commando Phaser

The **Varkem Commando Phaser** is a Varkem-tier ranged weapon that acts similar to the Laser Blaster, but does more damage. Its recipe is unlocked after Hyso finishes his briefing in the beginning of Chapter 3.

## Varkem Commando Phaser

### Crafting

A Varkem Commando phaser can be crafted using 1 Varkem Metal, 1 Varkem Grip, 2 Varkem Barrels and 1 Varkem Energy Core.

### Tips

The Varkem Commando Phaser can be useful for quickly taking down singular targets, as it deals a hefty amount of damage, though the Plasma Rapid Blaster will also suffice. If you get a Pusher Drone Blaster or Heavy Pusher Drone Blaster, they will also work, and could be considered to be better in a few ways since they don’t slow you down as much.

## Episode Breakdown

### Intro

(Brief summary of the intro/pre-numbers banter.)

### Wrap-up

(Where any additional info necessary after the numbers/during the plugs would go.)

## Notable Segments/Bits

(Where anything that is notable, unrelated to numbers resides. Further tangents, stories, deep-cuts should also go here.)
Varkem Rocket Cannon

The **Varkem Rocket Cannon** is a powerful homing ranged weapon, being one of the four items that can drop from Colonel Spanner on defeat.

### Usage

The Varkem Rocket Cannon functions similarly to the Aerial Missile Launcher, being able to shoot homing rockets, but deals more damage and also has a shorter cooldown, making it essentially an upgrade of the Aerial Missile Launcher.

### Tips

Like for the Aerial Missile Launcher, ff you get your hands on a Varkem Rocket Cannon, it can prove to be the most helpful weapon for the next few parts of the map, as you can just spam the launcher in one place and watch it kill every other existing enemy. You do have to be careful about using it though as if an enemy is in close quarters when you fire it its missile will instantly explode and probably kill you.
Assembler Drone Arm

The **Assembler Drone Arm** is a powerful melee weapon that has a chance to drop from the Assembler Drone on death.

### Notes

If Chair Mode is enabled, then the Assembler Drone will have a separate 100% chance to always drop the Assembler Drone Arm on death.

### Tips

The Assembler Drone Arm can be great for hit-and-run tactics. Hit a mob, then run and wait for it to recharge, then run back and hit another mob.

Experimental

Research #4

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

L-453 - A drone that emits a laser beam out of its eye. Why I never thought of attaching one of these to every drone on the ship, I have no idea.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

R-0C4 - A modified Ranged Drone that is armed with a Fusion Launcher instead of a Blaster. Has immense destructive capabilities but no sense of avoiding friendly-fire incidents.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

S-W4M - A cheaper form of a Worker Drone that only needs 5% of the matter normally required to generate one. However, as a result it is extremely brittle and I’m sure in most combat scenarios it would be easily destroyed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Still, the fact that I can create such an immense number of them opens up an opportunity for some swarm robotics…

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

S-14K - Similar to S-W4M but I decided to code in the ability for them to stack themselves on top of each other in order to intimidate opponents. The structure is still brittle however…

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Heavy Combat Drone

The **Heavy Combat Drone** is a drone and the stronger variant of the Combat Drone.

## Design

Heavy Combat Drones stand taller and have much more health than Combat Drones. They possess the same shield as Bulky Combat Drones.

## Behaviour

Heavy Combat Drone have movement speed similar to Glass Combat Drones, and can use the jump-slam, teleporting and shield-disabling abilities of the Bulky and Glass Combat Drone variants.

## Strategy

In most cases, shooting it down from a far distance can take it down easily.
Captain Kelrig

**Captain Kelrig** is the menacing alien captain of the *Celestial,* the ship that abducts the player.

## Quotes

* (From the first teaser trailer) "Humanity… so unaware of what is out there."

## Trivia

* Captain Kelrig first appeared in the first teaser trailer, where he spoke some expository dialogue. His name was not revealed until a tweet on July 16th, 2020.
Angry Birds Google+

**Angry Birds Google+** was a special version of Angry Birds that was only available on Google+. It was quite similar to Angry Birds Chrome, featuring a special episode called Teamwork. This episode required you to invite friends to unlock new levels.

Google+ Gaming Service closed on June 30, 2013 and one of those games for Google+, was Angry Birds Google+.

## Episodes

* Poached Eggs
* Chrome Dimension
* Teamwork
Angry Birds Tazos

**Angry Birds Tazos** is a web game released on January 7, 2013. It is based on Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Vuela Tazos. There is a Power-up called Tazos Power. This web game is like the Weekly Tournament. It ended on February 17, and that was the day that the promotion ended. The game is in Spanish, like Angry Birds Telepizza.

## Tazos Power

* Tazos Power is the Red Bird, but his abilities are like the Black Bird.

Varkem Dropship

By Chief Designer Corpare

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Varkem Dropship is a spacecraft designed for carrying troops into battle. Its rear-facing door can open out onto any terrain and enable all troops within to rush out into battle as quickly as possible.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For a ship of its size it doesn’t have much offensive power, being more designed as a transport, but it does have two sets of phasers on either side to provide cover fire when approaching landing sites.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Its propulsion comes in the form of two thrusters on each side of the ship that are capable of rotating, enabling this ship to perform vertical take-offs and landings as well as boasting a very fast horizontal acceleration.

-[ ∀]-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Just make sure you’re strapped in when the ship accelerates so you don’t go splat- I’m kidding, the inertial compensators prevent things like that from happening. Mighty convenient, eh?

## Trivia

* In total, Varkem Dropship is mainly a transport ship, not a battle ship
Shockwave Gauntlet

The **Shockwave Gauntlet** is a powerful Varkem-tier weapon, with high damage (although it also comes with lower attack speed), and the ability to jump up and slam the ground. Its recipe is unlocked after Hyso finishes his briefing in the beginning of Chapter 3.

### Crafting

A Shockwave Gauntlet can be crafted using 6 Varkem Metal and 2 Varkem Energy Cores.

### Usage

The Shockwave Gauntlet can be used like a melee weapon, sporting pretty high attack damage but low attack speed. But, it also has the unique ability that when used, the player will jump up into the air and land with a powerful slam, damaging and weakening all nearby enemies.

### Tips

* The gauntlet's area attack can easily hit drones even if allied Varkem Soldiers are in the way - ordinarily, normal melee weapons and ranged weapons that shoot physical bullets can often find themselves getting blocked by a Varkem Soldier inadvertently getting in the way.
* The gauntlet's initial jump can also work as a mid-air jump, and can be used for extra mobility that can be done in likely unintended ways.
