Orbit

> *"Humanity is a gift, and I want mine back!"*
>
>

**Orbit** is a former astronaut. During the Strafe, while aboard the International Space Station, he was infected with two strains of the Crystalline at once, bringing his body into the borderline state between human and Glasshead. Orbit seeks to reverse the transformation process and regain his humanity.

## Bio

On the day of the Strafe, fragments of Object X bombarded the International Space Station. Dieter was the only astronaut who made it to the escape pod and catapulted away. While he was still in space, his body was pierced with shrapnel containing Black Salt. The astronaut made a hard landing in the heart of one of the Impact Zones, and spent several days unconscious. During that time, Red Salt got into his body as well. The conflict of the two Crystalline strains halted the transformation process, basically stopping it half-way. Orbit preserved his human features and mind, but his body had been modified by the Crystalline. Dieter managed to escape the Zone, and surrendered to authorities. After several weeks of quarantine and all-around examinations, little by little he learned to control the powers that he had acquired.

In March 2028, Orbit learned about the foundation of Shellguard and appealed to include him into the operational force. He intended to work in the field to find out as much as possible about the Crystalline, and try to reverse the transformation process to become human again.

## Personality

Orbit is the exceptional case in Shellguard. He does not possess the V-Gene, but has a set of abilities similar to that of superior Glassheads. Orbit is prone to mood swings and has to block the Voice in his head at all times. For this purpose, he cooperated with Dr. Velasquez and developed a special injection, which helps him preserve human will in his modified body.

Kite

> *"Exploit every weakness. They will exploit yours."*
>
>

**Kite** is extremely intelligent, but hardly sociable. Laconic, often gloomy and withdrawn, this Operative is the quietest (in every sense of the word) member of the team. His motto is ‘deeds, not words’. He is a lone wolf by nature and feels at home in hard-to-reach spots with a good view of his targets.

## Bio

Ciaran was raised by his father; his mother was devoid of parenting rights due to a mental condition. In early childhood, he was diagnosed with the Asperger's syndrome. The boy grew up weak and skinny, but at the same time, exhibited incredible math skills and a remarkably high IQ. Following the doctors’ advice, the father tried to interest his son with a hobby that would help him focus. Of all such hobbies, Ciaran ultimately chose chess and sharpshooting. By the age of 18, he had achieved phenomenal heights in both disciplines.

Seeing no career prospects in his hometown, Ciaran joined the military, where he was assigned to the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. From 2019 to 2024, under the call sign "Kite", he participated in special operations of the British Army in Somalia, Yemen and South Sudan. By the age of 30, he became a renowned specialist in eliminating priority targets behind enemy lines. In March 2028, Ciaran successfully passed the V-Test.

Kite accepted the appointment to Shellguard with caution, as it meant a change in subordination. On the other hand, it was a new challenge, an opportunity to compete with the best military specialists from around the world. Kite's motivation is not fighting the Crystalline threat, but rather raising the “difficulty bar” in the game of life.

## Personality

Kite is reserved, laconic, and a bit ‘out of this world’. He seldom talks, but sometimes—in stark contrast—he produces such tirades that one can hardly believe their ears. He is a brooding, calculating character who likes to outwit his enemies, set traps, and strike from afar.

## Abilities

Crafting

**Crafting** is an in-game mechanic in Shatterline. Crafting is accessed via the 'Crafting' tab on the player's home lobby screen.

## Summary

The crafting station allows you to craft Modifications of weapons with unique cosmetics and perks. You can craft a random Modification with 300 Blueprints. Modifications may then be equipped in the respective weapon's customize screen in the Armory when unlocked.

Unlocking a modification for a weapon that is not owned will result in the player being able to access that weapon's modification in Expedition mode, as well as in PvP and Daily quest equipment load-outs; however, the weapon won't be customizable until it has been properly unlocked.

**How to earn Blueprints**

* Complete daily and weekly tasks.
* Complete objectives in Expedition mode.

The private stash for blueprints can hold 700 blueprints at most, so it is strongly recommended to use blue prints when you can craft 1 or 2 modifications to avoid going over the cap.

Cinetech

**Cinetech** is a weapons manufacturer in Shatterline.

## About

The history of Cinetech is a tale of never-ending copyright infringement scandals. Since its founding, the company has utilized reverse engineering techniques to recreate the world's most popular firearms. Although most copies turned out inferior to their originals, some managed to surpass them. For example, the Zenith automatic rifle, developed on the basis of the Soviet AK, or the M5 submachine gun, recreated from H&K schematics, completely ousted the outdated originals from the market.

* Traits add power to the Operative's abilities. They do things like give the operative more grenades or shorter cooldowns on their abilities.
* All Operatives have access to Facilitated Recharge
* All Operatives have access to Enhanced Munitions
* Traits are similar to Talents or Skills as seen in other games, but they are closer to Talents than Skills.
Strafers (Species)

**Strafers** is the unofficial nickname for members of the militant wing of the Strafe Witnesses. They are soldiers, stationed and trained at secret bases to perform tactical combat tasks in the Impact Zones.

## History

The Pillar of Wrath, the militant wing of the Witnesses, was founded in August 2026 by Jan-Gerd Pretorius – a former intelligence officer and military analyst, who persuaded Alan Seer to create a private army. Initially, this army was tasked with guarding recruiting centers and on-site sabotage. However, after the Strafe, the Witnesses’ leadership started using it to establish control over Impact Zones, conduct field research, and ship Red Salt to the secret bases.

## Structure

The Strafer army comprises three units: the Destined, the Anointed, and the Chosen.

* **The Destined** are the Strafe Witness ‘militia’. They are detachments of ‘tough guys’ from local Witnesses’ cells, who operate in regions unscathed by the Strafe. Their goal is to protect the underground network from police and counter-terrorist raids, and to arrange riots, takeovers, and acts of terror. The brightest of the Destined become the Anointed and are accepted for regular service.
* **The Anointed** are regular troops. They are what the term ‘Strafer’ is commonly associated with. The Anointed are trained fighters, fanatically devoted to the Witnesses’ cause and ready to sacrifice their lives for the Prophet. Experienced Anointed, who prove their mettle, are allowed to take on the Trial. Should they pass it, they become the Chosen.
* **The Chosen** are the elite of the Strafer military; individuals who managed to overcome the Trial and halt the process of Crystalline transformation of their bodies. No longer humans, but not yet Glassheads, the Chosen have to maintain their borderline state via regular injections of the Essence of Trial. However, in return, they acquire unique superpowers. The Chosen are the first step on the way to a fully-fledged human-Crystalline hybrid.

Shellguard

Shellguard is an international military and research organization tasked with resolving the Crystalline problem on a global scale. Shellguard comprises V-positive specialists from various countries and backgrounds. The declared goal of the organization is to eliminate the Crystalline and restore the planet to its pre-Strafe condition.

## History

Following the results of the Vancouver Global Security Summit, governments of several countries created an organization tasked with countering the Crystalline threat. The organization was named Shellguard. It was intended to be comprised only of V-Gene carriers who could operate in the Impact Zones without the risk of the Crystalline infection.

Survivors of the First Descent became instructors for new recruits. Militaries of 35 countries introduced the obligatory V-Gene Identification Test, and the ‘lucky positives’ were prompted to join Shellguard. This way, soldiers and military specialists from all over the globe combined their efforts to find a way of stopping the Crystalline for good.

## Strategy

Shellguard is looking for a way to counter the Crystalline threat on a global scale. To this end, it deploys field research stations in the Impact Zones and conducts military operations against the Strafers. Unraveling the ‘nature’ of the Crystalline and the motives behind the Strafers’ actions is the first step to developing a global counter-strategy.

## Structure

Shellguard comprises three structural units: Operations, Procurement, and R&D.

* **Operations** is the unit that the protagonists represent. These are strike teams that execute various missions in the Impact Zones. They are also tasked with guarding research stations and collecting primary field data and samples. All Operatives are V-positive, which makes them immune to Red Salt effects.
* **R&D:** Scientists who conduct research in a laboratory environment. They are responsible for biosecurity and development of various countermeasures to the Crystalline.
* **Procurement:** People responsible for infrastructure and supplies: engineers, weapon suppliers, communication officers, pilots, etc.

## Operatives

Shellguard Operatives, also referred to as Immunes, are the story protagonists. They are the characters, controlled by players. Each Operative is a former soldier, with military training or some experience within the armed forces. After the introduction of mandatory V-Gene Identification Test, all identified V-positive military personnel are assigned to Shellguard. The initial set of Operatives will be expanded over time.
Assault Rifles

**Assault Rifles** are a weapon type in Shatterline.

## List of Assault Rifles

* Tier 1: XM-27 Pacifier (The highest stability among Assault Rifles)

Red Realm

The **Red Realm** is a subatomic multidimensional space, created and maintained by the Crystalline to accumulate and preserve energy. The teleportation effect’ is applied to material objects that are placed in the Red Realm, so that in the real world they appear to move at faster-than-light speed. It is due to the Red Realm that Glasships can travel huge distances through cosmic space.

## Laws

The space in the Red Realm is tenuous and blurred; gravity is relative and unstable. The flow of time can speed up or slow down. Stability of a certain sector of the Realm depends on the state of Cores sustaining it. The Crystalline consumes and processes silicon dioxide to produce tremendous amounts of energy that are required to maintain the Red Realm. Each Sprout in any Impact Zone is connected to the overall ‘root system’ that transfers energy to the Cores sustaining the realm.

## Transportation

Crystalline Cores can transport living creatures or material objects between reality and the Red Realm through a network of micro-wormholes within a certain radius. Superior Glassheads also can generate wormholes which allows them to make short ‘leaps’ between reality and the Red Realm.
XM-40 Conciliator

**XM-40 Conciliator** is an Assault Rifle in Shatterline.

## Details

She will not hesitate to jump into the thick of battle to get a teammate out of danger, to help them, and to save them.

## Bio

Zoriana is a graduate of the Military Medical Institute of the Lviv National University. As a youth, she was a volunteer and a climate activist. At age 22, she enlisted in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and helped defend her home country against the Russian invasion. She has a track record of dozens of saved lives – and not only as a doctor, but as a soldier as well. In December 2027, Malva was dispatched on a humanitarian mission to Finland to help the rescuing effort at the Lapland Impact Zone. She became one of the first doctors to have encountered Red Salt, and discovered the unique medical case of Kioni Järvela. During her time in the Zone, the girl did not exhibit any symptoms of infection, so the V-Test in March 2028 only confirmed the obvious. In May 2028, Malva joined Shellguard.

## Personality

Malva is exceptionally selfless. Saving lives is her highest aspiration. Her favorite saying is ‘Fear for others, not yourself – and nothing can harm you.’ She will not hesitate to jump into the thick of battle to get a teammate out of danger, to help them, and to save them.

Bosses

Bosses are an enemy type in Shatterline. Currently there are four different boss enemies in game.

**This page contains material that may be considered to be spoilers by some. The spoilers are not censored.**

## Stilt

While this boss has a lot of health and high damage, you can easily dodge most attacks by constantly moving around. Shooting and destroying the grey crystals that pop out of the ground will prevent them from damaging you if you get too close. Carefully damaging its shield while fighting the Crystalline that might spawn, and then all focusing on the Stilt once the shield is depleted and its chest weak spot is exposed will lead you to victory.

## Cyborg Stilt

This enemy is similar to the Stilt, but will instead have Strafer reinforcements. These enemies have ranged attacks, making them harder to avoid. Keep moving to dodge the Cyborg Stilt's attacks, focusing the Strafers until you feel safe to damage the boss once its weak spot is exposed. Dealing with the Strafers and avoiding the exploding electric areas this boss spawns will help you stay alive and be victorious.

## Behemoth

This boss has very limited ranged attacks, so as long as you keep your distance you should be fine. If it dives underground to chase you, run away until you hear it come up. Shooting its yellow weak spots will make it vulnerable, allowing the squad to damage the Behemoth. Once (or twice depending on squad damage/teamwork) the Behemoth will become invulnerable and rest. During this time the arena will fill with fog and Crystalline will spawn and attack the squad. Its important to damage the boss while its vulnerable so that this only happens once during the encounter.

## Queen

When the Queen starts flying around, avoid getting close to her and dodge her projectile attacks as they deal a lot of damage. She will often stop to spawn Crystalline enemies while protecting herself with an impenetrable shield, making her invulnerable. Dealing with the additional enemies will cause her to start moving and expose herself again. As long as you keep your distance and avoid her projectiles while shooting her exposed human body, you should end up being victorious. The purple orbs that she shoots can be destroyed with weapon fire; they also shoot out damaging arcs of energy that can get nasty. The queen also has a large pink area effect that will annihilate the squad with death rays. Its important to leave the pink area as soon as you see the walls as this ability can end a run.
Brisa

> *"If we survive, drinks are on me!"*
>
>

As well as beauty, **Brisa** has the brains-an honors student, athlete, and sharpshooter. Before joining Shellguard, she served in the Brazilian military police and hunted drug cartels in Amazonian jungle. Brisa is a chronic life-lover. She would save the world only to bring back the parties and bright life.

## Bio

Adriana was born in a large family of mixed Portuguese and Native Brazilian descent. In her younger years, she practiced archery and won a junior varsity State Championship. At age 22, together with her elder brother, Luis, she enrolled in the police academy. In 2024, Luis was killed in action during a raid on the Norte Familia cartel. Driven by vengeance, Adriana transferred to the spec-ops, took some rigorous training, and, under the alias 'Brisa', executed a special operation, which ultimately brought the cartel down.

Awarded for her exceptional skills, Brisa was invited to work as an undercover agent, free to use any means and methods to get close to criminal leaders, and assassinate them. In the following five years, several criminal lords fell victim to her ingenious mixture of intrigue, blackmail, and seduction.

After the Strafe, Adriana passed the V-Test, and was seconded to Shellguard. She treats her new colleagues with a touch of arrogance, and the idealism of people like Strix or Malva is alien to her. But at the same time, she cannot deny that the world is in danger, and in order to bring back parties and bright life, one must do their best to stop the Crystalline.

## Personality

Brisa is a chronically cheerful person, who can turn any mundane situation into a party. She has inherent irony and an aggravated sense of humor. She often speaks in a deadpan tone, making it hard to know whether she is serious or joking.

## Abilities

### Active Abilities

#### Tactical Cloak

* Experimental multi-spectral camouflage, which makes the operator barely visible to the enemies.

#### Glass Mine

* Anti-personal mine that encases an enemy into a dense Crystalline outgrowth.

* Stationary electronic device that shocks enemies in the area of effect with electrical discharges
* This ability replaces Glass Mine when equipped on the Equipment screen

### Passive Ability

Maidie Hughes

### Occupation

Cadet, British Royal Signal Academy Yeoman signal operator, 43 Reserve Squadron of the Royal Corps of Signals, Head of Communications, Shellguard

Maidie Ann Hughes is the Head of Communications and Electronic Warfare at Shellguard. She acts as a dispatcher for the strike teams and coordinates ground operations. She is responsible for preparing briefings, mapping routes, arranging evacuations, and in exceptional cases, providing UAV fire support. Maidie joined Shellguard to help the Strafe-afflicted and prevent field casualties as best she can.

## Bio

Maidie was born in Swindon, UK, in 1999. Her father left the family soon after her birth, and her mother suffered from a menacing chronic disorder. Hence, the load of responsibility for the family fell upon Maidie’s elder brother, Grant. Grant Hughes was a capable young man who gave his everything to ensure Maidie and mother would never be in need. In 2004, he joined the British Royal Signal Corps, and was re-commissioned for field duty to Iraq. During the next two years, he served in the joint task force under then-Lt. Nathan Phillips. In 2006, during Operation Iron Triangle, Grant tragically died while saving his squad, and in his last minutes, asked Nathan to take care of Maidie.

Nathan fulfilled this promise. After the end of the Iraqi campaign, he visited Maidie and her mother, told them about Grant’s heroic deeds, and became a family friend. Inspired by Phillips’s war stories, Maidie decided to follow her brother’s footsteps and enrolled in the British Royal Signal Academy. In 2025, she acquired the specialty of Communications Operator and was seconded to the 43 Signal Reserve Squadron.

In April 2028, after his appointment as Commander of Shellguard, Phillips offered Maidie the position of Head of Communications. Determined to pick up where her brother left off, Maidie gladly accepted the offer and joined the team.

## Personality

Maidie is a lively young girl with a knack on computers and technology. She is able to handle stressful situations and calmly react to unexpected problems.

## Bio

Dominic was born in Hong Kong, along with his twin brother Jimmy. In childhood, the brothers were inseparable, but in their  youth, they chose different paths. Dominic joined a street gang, and made a name for himself in the underground MMA tournaments. Jimmy graduated with honors and enrolled in law school. It was Jimmy who always pulled his brother out of trouble, tried to influence him and make him settle down. But Dominic's violent nature was relentless. At age 26, he decided to organize his own tournament - and borrowed money from a criminal boss.

The tournament successful at first, but was soon shut down by the rival gang. Mongoose was required to repay the debt, and, fearing his creditor’s vengeance, decided to turn himself in to the authorities and serve a short term for organizing illegal  sporting events.

While Dominic was already in custody, thugs looking for him mistook Jimmy for “Mongoose” and killed him. Dominic found out about this when he was already in jail. In January 2028, Dominic tested positive for the V-gene and was offered parole in exchange for service at Shellguard. He left his criminal past behind with a firm intention of finding a real purpose in life, at last.

Episode: Red Lake

***This page contains uncensored spoilers.***

**Red Lake** is a Shellguard operation in the Faroes Impact Zone. The objective is to investigate the crash of Shellguard's science plane, which carried samples obtained from Object X. During the mission, it turns out that these samples sowed the soil of several islands in the Faroe archipelago, thereby creating a new, artificial Impact Zone.

## Plot

Dr. Lily Queen, colleague and partner of Karin Velasquez, proposed to send an aircraft to the upper atmosphere to study the Object X. Dr. Queen and her team successfully accomplish this task, but on descending, the plane crashed under mysterious circumstances. Commander Phillips dispatches a squad of Operatives to investigate the cause of the crash, search for survivors, and collect viable scientific data.

Upon arrival, it turns out that a battalion of Strafers is already operating on the island. At the same time, the Crystalline quickly reaches a critical mass, and creates a new Impact Zone in a matter of hours. Dr. Queen managed to survive, but she is infected with Red Salt, and slowly transforms into the Glasshead Queen. The operatives manage to neutralize the Strafers and extract the research data, but they are unable to help Dr. Queen. She has to be taken down.

Ram

> *"This better be a challenge."*
>
>

**Ram** is an armored juggernaut- a human tank reinforced with an experimental exosuit. A former combat engineer, he lost both his arms in a battle and replaces them with high-tech robotized prosthetics. Ram is an energetic daredevil who fears nothing and lives each day as his last.

## Bio

From a young age, Mason demonstrated fearlessness, if not recklessness. Motorbike racing, rafting, paragliding – he was always up for the challenge, and never backed away from a fight. After school, he tried several professions, but none brought him the desired level of adrenaline. At 24 the young man enlisted in the US Marines, and after basic training, chose to undergo combat engineer training. From 2020 to 2024, under call sign ‘Ram’, he participated in special operations of the US military in Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. During one of the missions, he failed to disarm a mine, and it went off, severely injuring both of his hands. The forearms had to be amputated.

Mason could not make peace with his disability, and decided to bring back his normal life, no matter the cost. He learned about an experimental military program of advanced combat prosthetics, and volunteered. After a series of arm injuries, he was reinstated in service. During the following three years, Ram participated in field tests, and learned to control his new, improved limbs. By 2027, the prosthetics became a fully functional replacement for his lost forearms. After the test identified him as V-positive, he committed himself to Shellguard’s cause without a moment’s hesitation.

## Personality

Ram is an energetic daredevil, for whom scaling a mountain (or jumping off one with a para-glider) is as easy as riding a bike. He fears nothing and lives each day as his last. If Mason flies into a rage, it is best to move aside.

Strix

> *"Follow my orders and you'll be fine."*
>
>

**Strix** is a former U.S. Army Sergeant. She specializes in heavy weaponry and experimental warfare. Being a daughter of a renowned Army General, Strix exhibits leadership qualities and assumes command in emergencies. She is driven, rational, and ever devoted to Shellguard's cause.

## Bio

Kyra is the only child of Damarcus Whitmore, a renowned U.S. Army General. In her early years, the family never stayed in one place for too long. They moved from state to state, from deployment to deployment, wherever her dad’s thriving military career took him. As a child, Kyra had a hard time making friends or getting attached to places. The very concept of home was alien to her.

Kyra began her training early. She had rifles instead of dolls, and drove a Humvee when she was 10. She took athletics, swimming, and boxing, in which she was always years ahead of her class. All this, combined with rigorous Army propaganda in the family, turned Kyra into the first woman ever to be accepted in Delta Force. She beat the boot camp easily, and went on to take part in the experimental warfare program, where she chose the call sign "Strix".

After the Strafe, Kyra took the V-Test, and it turned out positive. Raised in a patriotic environment, having rained all her life, Kyra took her immunity as a calling. Strix became a perfect Shellguard poster symbol. She embodies everything Shellguard stands for.

## Personality

Kyra is a natural leader. In her dialogue, there are many orders and inspiring remarks, such as ‘keep your eyes on the prize’, ‘follow my lead’, ‘on my command’, etc. Behind this desperate need to command others, however, she may be hiding the lack of her own desires and dreams.
