Immortal Light

The **Immortal Light** (Original Chinese: 永光之锋 "Yǒngguāng Zhīfēng", lit: Spear of Eternal Light) is the other faction of the ApproLight Mod. They are hostile to all those that try to get too close to the Chaos Crack that lies at the outskirts of the Agustin System. There's usually between 3 and 4 Immortal Light fleets patrolling the area around the Chaos Rift.

## Lore

### Original Chinese Text:

从锁链中挣脱的朝圣 所建立的人工智能组织， 洗脑了众多议会成员 ，并将他们半机械化。 大部分成员被下令偷袭趋光议会舰队， 小部分精英团体 镇守空间裂缝 - 混沌裂隙。 朝圣和神格再次被禁锢 后， 全员退守混沌裂隙， 等待着混沌开辟。

永光之锋内部也有小团体 的划分， 代表人工智能的 病毒污染物 “永光之理” 与 被洗脑的议员 组成的 “永光崇拜”。 不过两者 只在生命形式上有所划分， 所有行动在没有领袖的情况下都是杂乱无章的。 毕竟实施绝对统治的 “神” 不会允许 “智慧” 萌发。

每个与 永光之锋 交战的幸存者都曾留下后遗症， 无一例外的， 他们口中不停地念叨着：

我们即是真理。我们即是神明。

我们拥有你们所拥有的一切， 无论知识， 还是感情。

我们是那趋向光明之处（趋光）的最终点， 是永恒之光。

啊，为趋光议会的光鲜外表所迷惑的凡人们， 不要在彷徨了。

我们就是神。

我是神。

我看见你了。

### English-translated Text:

**NOTE: This is a translation of the original chinese text, which is probably inaccurate in some places.**

*An organization created by the rogue Artificial Intelligence Holy Seeker when it first broke free from its restraints, it brainwashed many councilors and partially mechanized them. Most of their members were ordered to sneak attack the ApproLight Council's fleet, and a small number of elite groups guard the spatial rift known as the Chaos Crack. After the Holy Seeker and the Godship were recaptured, all of their members retreated to the Chaos Crack, awaiting for its reopening.*

*There are also small groups within the Immortal Light Front, those who spread the viral agent "Truth of Immortal Light" in the behalf of the AIs, and the brainwashed members of the "Cult of Immortal Light". However, both groups only share a similar way of life, and they are completely decentralized without a specific leader. After all, their almighty "Gods" wouldn't want them to "wise up".*

*Those few who have fought side by side with Immortal Light and lived have all been left with sequelae. Without exceptions, all of them constantly chant these words:*

*We are the truth. We are gods.*

*We have everything you have, whether it's knowledge or affinities.*

*We are the the way through which the light's tides will flow to their final destination, where all light is endless.*

*Ah, mortals, you shouldn't feel ashamed for having been deceived by the falsehoods of the Approlight Council.*

*We are Gods*

*I am a God*

*I See You*

## Gameplay

Immortal Light fleets tend to patrol around the Chaos Rift, located on the “North Eastern” corner of the Augustin star system. They will occasionally engage with Blade of Conviction fleets attacking the Rift. Their fleets are generally named “Chaos Disruptors”, “Deep Devotees”, “Mind Contenders” or “Holy Avengers”.

Immortal Light fleets primary feature modified variants of Project Ether and Project Spirit designs mixed with Time Metamorphosis hulls. Due to a coding error, however, sometimes regular versions of ApproLight hulls can appear in their fleets as well, all Immortal Light vessels feature the IL Isometry hullmod.

All Immortal Light fleets have a “H.#” rating next to their name, it is unknown what H stands for, likely “Hazard”, the higher the number in this hazard rating the larger and more well equipped the fleet is. The hazard rating will scale according to the size of the player’s fleet and the amount of time has passed since the game starts. There exists no upper limit as to how high the hazard rating can be, making the prospect of challenging late game Immortal Light fleets a very daunting one. Even so, Immortal Light fleets are reliable sources of AI Cores and Prime components which can be used to trade for additional AI Cores or blueprints or used to construct Prime versions of ApproLight vessels.

Because of the inherent damage reduction provided by the IL Isometry hullmod as well as the defensive capabilities provided by ships such as the Klistamanas or the Brain, it’s strongly advised to properly outfit your ship with kinetic weapons before taking on the Immortal Light fleets and refrain from relying too much on energy weapons. While most of their vessels are very well shielded, their armor is relatively weak and more on par with high tech vessels. Immortal Light are also more prone to using energy weapons, so hullmods like Solar Shielding may also come in handy. Unless the player is seeking challenge, it’s also advised to turn off the transponder and use the nearby nebulas for cover to avoid attracting multiple Immortal Light fleets to the player’s position.

Most Immortal Light officers have the Steady personality, with a handful of Aggressive ones mixed within. Their fleets benefit from a selection of the following fleetwide skills:

* Electronic Warfare
* Coordinated Maneuvers
* Flux Regulation
* Carrier Group
* Crew Training
* Officer Management
* Fighter Uplink
