Transyllian

A nomadic, vampiric race of mercenaries, the **Transyllians** originally came from their homeworld of Transylia before it was ravaged by solar flares. Fitted with a crystalline Heart Stone, the Transyllians are functionally immortal as the Heart Stone once charged with energy, will cause the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems to be brought back online via a powerful electrical shock. This allows Transyllian warriors to continue to fight even after death. However, should the Heart Stone be damaged or destroyed, the Transyllian will remain deceased. Led by Tomb Lords, Transyllians sweep across the galaxy to absorb the life energies of any living beings unfortunate to be within distance of their silent Tomb Fleets.

## Society

Transyllians are a nomadic race following the utter devastation of Transylia. They operate from vast tomb fleets which they use to drain other lifeforms of energy. Transyllians operate under a military society headed by the powerful Lich class of warriors.

## Biology

Transyllians are humanoid in appearance with a yellowy-white skin colour, knife-like ears and jagged fangs filling their mouths. They have blood-red eyes and bright-blue blood. Surrounding their hearts, Transyllians have a biological crystalline construct known as a Heart Stone. When fully charged with electricity, the Transyllian can revive from fatal damage, provided the stone is not damaged or the Transyllian in question is not damaged beyond repair.

## Military

The Transyllian military is based around the species' vast Tomb Fleets. The forces of the Transyllian Tomb Fleets are armed with devastating Siphoner weaponry, which tear the lifeforce of those unlucky enough to be caught in reach of its beam. Notable Tomb Fleets include:

* Dracun
* Nosferatu
* Draugr
* Vrykolakas
* Orlok
* Empousa

Forces in Transyllian militaries include:

* Revenants-
	+ The rank-and-file Transyllian, the Revenant is the lowest form of soldier. Armed with Siphoner Carbines, Revenants are notoriously resilient for front line forces.
* Moroi-
	+ A form of infiltrator, the Moroi strain have highly infectious blood, which they use to turn non-Transyllians into the Dhamphir strain. Moroi would have previously been sent to a world prior to the arrival of the rest of the Tomb Fleet.
* Strigoi-
	+ An evolved form of Damphir, the Strigoi strain are a second-third generation of the Moroi strain. Copying up to 10% of their host's genetic material, the Strigoi can add new genetic material into their Tomb Fleet's gene pools. However, Strigoi lack a Heart Stone due to the nature of their growth.
* Dhamphir-
	+ Dhamphir are native inhabitants of a world infected by a Moroi strain's blood. Introducing Transyllian genetic material into their races gene lines, Dhamphir fall under the control of the Moroi as the Tomb Fleet arrives.
* Lamai-
	+ Powerful scientific officers, the Lamai release devastating technological marvels upon their foes. Able to manipulate energy by some unknown means, the Lamai can force the reanimation of any Transyllian soldier much to the dismay of the soon to be prey.
* Lich Warrior-
	+ The warrior elite, Lich Warriors act as the voice and will of the Tomb Lords. Wielding weapons of esoteric design, the Lich Warriors represent sheer terror in battle and double as captains in the vast Tomb Fleets.
* Tomb Lord-
	+ The highest ranked Transyllians in any Tomb Fleet, the Tomb Lord wields inexorable control of their kindred with an iron fist. Equipped with ornate armour and weaponry, the Tomb Lord is a terrifying sight in battle.
