Kin of Sheredyn	Devout Force	Stonework Workshop	An offshoot of the United Empire, the Kin arrived on Saiadha decades ago, but dreams of conquest and glory were quickly dashed against the rocks of this unforgiving ocean world. With their original, inspirational leader lost to the wilds, the mantle of leadership has fallen upon General Shaparenko, who dreams that the Kin will one day do more than merely survive.
Aspects	Coral Chorus	Fencing Voice of the Masses	Their origins lost to the distant past, the Aspects are a symbiotic species, part machine, part coral, with physically distinct individuals who find blissful union in the Chorus—a mind gestalt where all Aspects can psychically come together. Obsessed with preserving the balance on Saiadha through empathy and understanding, the Aspects' peaceful existence has been upended by a devastating dieback of their life-enhancing coral fields. Will Saiadha ever see the Illuminated Realm again?
Necrophage	Hive Society	Fencing Scavenging	Confined to the depths ages past, the Saiadhan swarm have only just emerged to the surface to establish a beachhead on one of the world’s windswept islands. Bitter fighting with the bronze plates has occupied their recent attentions, but they aim to make up for lost time under the command of their Prime, One-Who-Stalks-Afar. Always hostile, always ravenous, the Necrophage are a powerful, menacing presence.
