Skitarii of Mjorn

The Skitarii (sing. Skitarius), also known as the Tech-Guard and the Legiones Skitarii, are the cybernetic military forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperium of Man. To a man, the Skitarii are warriors born. Most Skitarii are born into the service of the Mechanicus either as natural-born human Menials of the Cult Mechanicus who are cybernetically-enhanced specifically to serve as Skitarii or they are genetically-engineered clones or vat-born humans who are cybernetically enhanced from the moment of their accelerated "birth," much like certain types of Servitors. Others are repurposed from mind-wiped convicts or warriors handed over as punishment for failure or desertion. The Skitarii of Mjorn are considered chosen of their respective Magos.

Mjorn whose second specialty is in the area of genetic engineering has over the millennia experimented and modified the genetic code of humanity to purpose grow their skitarii in new ways. This genetic manipulation is extensive throughout Mjorn culture and livelihood. Mjorn Tech-priests seek to improve humanity through technology and genetic understanding. Mjorn Augmentation Patterns are used to enhance the standards that are provided to variant classes of Skitarii that Mjorn makes use of. These variants of Skitarii are pinnacles of Genetic and Mechanical augmentation that Mjorn uses subtly to increase their ability to fight the dangers pressing against humanity and the Forge World specifically.

### Skitarii Class Patterns

#### Covenant Class Skitarii

Covenant-Class Skitarii are the shadowy infiltrators of the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mjorn, experts in the art of subterfuge and covert operations. Selected for their unwavering faith and mastery of Adeptus Mechanicus technology, they move undetected among the layfolk of the sector. Whether maintaining voidships, repairing cogitators, or eliminating unsuspecting targets, Covenant-Class Skitarii are versatile and deadly agents of the Omnissiah. Their augmentations are expertly concealed, featuring cybernetic ears for enhanced auditory perception, concealed weapons, and shape-shifting subskin synth-flesh to adapt their facial features at will.

Covenant Class Skitarii are trained in the art of stealth, able to move within plain sight amongst the lay folk throughout the sector. Most candidates are those who have proven both faithful and capable of using the skills of the Adeptus Mechanicus to deadly effect or are crafted that way. So it is that these disguised agents roam the sector, maintaining voidships, repairing Cogitators, unjamming weapons, and occasionally slaughtering their unsuspecting prey. The methods by which a Covenant Skitarii can kill are varied; some value a clean kill at a distance, while others prefer to slay with elaborately created traps or carefully scripted malfunctions. They might stalk his target for months or years at a time, gathering ever more information to be filed away for his grim purpose. Infinite possibilities for murder unfold before a member of the Covenant Class, and finding the best one for an enemy of the Omnissiah is simply his role in the greater Quest for Knowledge.

Both women (A-variants) and men (B-variants) genotype had been selected and shaped for physical attractiveness and for as much in the way of libidinal energy and submissiveness in the genetic code for missions requiring infiltration of imperial society. Developing Covenant Class are subjected to rigorous training which was called the "Class-Test developmental process". Covenant Class prove to be rather intelligent and independent compared to other Class types. Mechanical and most other types of augmentation to this class of Skitarii is fashion in a way to be undetectable by mere observation and in some cases against certain scanners. Ears replaced with cybernetic sonic processing upgrades that allows automatic volume and interference control, filtering of desired sound waves, and integral vox system with encryption/decryption suite. Synth muscle Bionic Arm replacements with integrated Fine Manipulators, Shock Gloves and concealed Widower Wrist Casters for covert assassination. A complex network of micro-servos and subskin synth-flesh dispensers installed in the face to allow the Skitarii to adjust their facial features at will, altering shape and texture in a matter of moments.

#### Spartan Class Skitarii

Spartan-Class Skitarii are the heavy laborers and relentless warriors of the Mechanicus. Engineered for exceptional physical strength, they excel in manual labor and combat alike. Augmented with cybernetic arms, pneumatic pistons, and virtually unbreakable bones, they are formidable in close-quarters combat. Additional enhancements include intramuscular protein injections, skeletal and muscular growth catalysts, and heightened reflexes, making them stalwart defenders of the Forge Worlds.

This Class of Skitarii are bred to do heavy manual labor, so they were designed to be physically strong and muscular. Biological and genetic upgrades for increased muscular density and flexibility in the abdomen and legs, allowing for increased strength, stamina, control, and range of motion. Cybernetic Arms with enhanced pneumatic pistons and synth muscle fibers. Anaconda-class Mechahendrite with Fine Manipulators, Data Plugs, and Plasma Cutter are also generally integrated. Advanced material grafting onto skeletal structures to make bones virtually unbreakable. Some or all of the bones are wrapped with a lattice of plasteel to strengthen them and prevent damage. This implant is commonly provided for ﬁngers, forearms, shins, and ribs both to offer a stronger punch as well as grant more protection in combat. Protein complex is injected intramuscularly to increase tissue density and decrease lactase recovery time. Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. Submergence and boosted blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina to produces a marked visual perception increase. Alteration of bio-electrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction for 300% increase in subject reflexes. Anecdotal evidence of marked increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity. Additional musculature and bone protecting the internal organs from any risk of direct contact.

#### Firebat Class Vanguard Skitarii

The Firebat-Class Vanguard Skitarii are a specialized breed, meticulously designed for frontline combat. Enhanced with advanced visual receptors, circulatory system replacements, and a unique resistance to extreme conditions, they are the embodiment of relentless firepower. Three variants, Balefire, Nightfire, and Hellfire, denote their choice of Mjorn Pattern Flamer Weapon, and they undergo extended treatment to counteract radiation, toxins, and acid burns.

Toxin and Heat Resistant Implants are incorporated after the general genetic manipulation for increased adaptability to augmentation and other general genetic template basic infusions. Luminen Capacitors and Internal Reservoir additional power consumption needs. The skin of the Firebat is wholly unique--whereas we might find 10 to 20 layers of the interwoven cells in a typical human--the outermost epidermal layer of the Firebat is nearly three times that thickness in any given area of their body, with an unusual capacity for both absorption and retention of moisture. Working in conjunction with armor specifically designed to support this function by pulling moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, the Firebat is essentially immune to the oppressive heat generated by their own weaponry.

Beyond the Variation of Gender marked as A or B variant, this class of Skitarii has three variation of standard armament. Balefire, Nightfire, or Hellfire classes of the Firebat Class denote which variant of Mjorn Pattern Flamer Weapon the Skitarii is assigned. The Skitarii then undergoes extended treatment for counteracting radiation, toxins, or acid burns to extend life of use of this class.
