No Limits Science Fiction Wargames – The Grymn

Introduction To The GrymnNot all species in the cosmos have developedthrough natural evolution. Some are created bythose wishing to play the part of a deity. Othersare created by those requiring a subservient racethat can be used as slave labour.

Light Infantry Grymn Sergeant

GenesisThe Grymn are a race originally bred for servitude.Many centuries ago, they were genetically createdby the Sleiti, a powerful Elven race with expertisein bio-engineering and controlled mutation.

The Sleiti have created numerous geneticallyenhanced species over the millennia. One of thefirst were the Zoads, a large and powerful multi-limbed creature with the dexterity belying its sizeto allow it to use semi-organic technology. TheZoads were used as heavy infantry by the Sleiti,but they were unsuitable for use as a day to dayworkforce.

Rather than dabble in the re-engineering theZoads, the Sleiti decided to create a new smallerrace based on the humanoid DNA pattern. TheSleiti wanted a stout and durable race capable ofworking in the confined spaces or the TorilliumMines

After several failed attempts, experiment #14 wasthe first subject embryo to be taken full term in thecyro accelerant vat. In a mere 160 days, a fullymature subject was birthed in a moment of terrorand pain. The Sleiti dubbed their newest creationa “Grymn”.

The Sleiti used their advanced teachingtechniques to quickly progress experiment #14 toa stage where he could be evaluated for futureuse.

Experiment #14 proved quick to learn and tirelessin his work. Deemed harmless, due to his placid

nature, he was given tasks in the main Sleitilaboratory working under the technicians whowere creating more of the new race. The placiditywas a deception for experiment #14 had morecunning than was given him credit.

Lack of security in the Sleiti laboratory allowedexperiment #14 to steal the new Grymn embryo’sand escape into the uncharted depths of thecosmos.

New BeginningsIn the centuries that have passed, the Grymn havedeveloped their own culture and their owntechnology. They started by simply hiring theirmuscle to anyone who could pay. As time passed,the Grymn accrued enough resources to start torun their own operations. Their exceptionalintelligence has allowed them to manufacturemany advance weapons and vehicles.

Although they have settled on some worlds, manyspend their entire lives on the Generational Shipsthat traverse the stars.

The Sleiti remain their sworn enemies with theGrymn taking any opportunity to attack outpostscontrolled by their former masters.

A New EnemyFollowing the failure of the Grymn experiment, theSleiti turned their hand to creating anotherhumanoid race, the Bohkin. These weregenetically engineered hunters and bredspecifically to hunt down and eradicate the Grymn.

The Bohkin, like the Grymn, use conventionaltechnology. Both ballistic and energy weapons areutilised although the Bohkin prefer to use theloudest of weapons.



Weapons And TechnologyThe Grymn have proved themselves to be mastersof developing new technologies. Their engineershave become renowned as weaponsmiths andarmourers.

Grymn armour is a perfect blend of strength anddurability. All Grymn models wearing armour witha value of 3 or higher, automatically gain resilience(+2) for no additional points cost.

The array of weaponry and vehicles available tothe Grymn have made them a powerful force inonly a few centuries.

Operating as mercenaries, or fighting for their ownfledgling race, the Grymn must never beunderestimated by assuming their height reflectson their ability.

The Grymn are well trained and well disciplinedsoldiers. Their reliable weaponry andcommunications allow them to lay downsuppressing fire to enable close combatspecialists to quickly advance on enemy positions.

More often than not, heavy weapons teams andsnipers will operate as individuals, positioningthemselves in the best location to command astrong view across the battlefield.
