Lore[]
A fearless Necrophage, Strikes Far quickly rose in the brutal ranks of his nest's soldier-caste, taking command of larger and larger fighting cells, and bringing home many victories. One fateful sun-cycle, however, Strikes Far became lost many leagues from the nest. Unbeknownst to the party of Necrophages that Strikes Far led, catacclysmic earthquakes deep in the Aurigan interior had altered the planet's magnetic fields, scrambling their pathfinding abilities.
Knowing only the way of battle, Strikes Far and his band of vicious fighters carved a path of death across the land, until they came deep into Vaulter territory. With his numbers finally whittled down to only himself, the Vaulters captured and imprisoned Strikes Far, curious to learn the secrets of the Necrophage's deadly combat. After being force-fed a Dust-enhanced draft, Strikes Far found himself "uplifted" and eventually able to relate his battlefield tactics to his captors. After forging an unlikely friendship with one of their captains, Strikes Far later escaped to become one of the few Necrophages plying the surface of Auriga as a hired sword.
