The Imperial Soldiers form a defensive line around the Paragon, protecting them while the Paragon buff the soldiers and rain strong ranged attacks down on their enemies. Will you help support the Paragons' need for luxury, despite their skewed sense of priorities?īecause of the unique divide in their units, fighting the Paragon faction can be quite challenging. The Paragon are a bit snobbish and elitist in their dealings with other factions, but for those that are willing to indulge their posturing, diplomatic relations can be established. They are led by self-proclaimed prophets which see themselves as rulers over their own little cult of Paragon, preaching about bringing civilization where there is none left. In the ruins of their once great empire, clusters of Paragons formed into potent groups, often taking control over the remnants of Imperial elite forces. The Paragon still hold onto their elite status with fanatical devotion, even after all else has decayed. Overtime, the disconnected augmentations that gave them eternal youth and super human abilities started to falter, with many Paragon descending into madness and decay. They were no longer able to connect with CORE, the administrative heart of the Star Union with the Emperor at its center.

The upper-class Paragons (named after the company that provided their cybernetics, Paragon Augmentations), fell from boundless hedonism to a state of survival.

After the Collapse, all interstellar trade and communications ended, leaving the surviving citizens marooned on their worlds. The Paragon once were the elite citizens of the Star Union empire.
