Reaver Moons

The Reaver system · The behemoth Reaver moons

Pollution-choked industrial moons where most of the galaxy's physical goods are manufactured and Reaver troopers are recruited.

Story so far

Describing Gunnery Sergeant X2, The AI sketches the origin of the Reaver cyborg soldier: a tough childhood in the pollution-choked shadow of the behemoth Reaver moons, where most of the physical goods in the galaxy are manufactured. Drugs, street gangs, eighty percent taxes, no way out — the AI recites the story with mock boredom, noting most recruits weren't bloodthirsty nutjobs when they walked into the recruiter's office, just hungry and without hope or direction.

It is the first time a crawler has bothered to Examine anyone from the Reaver system, which is why the AI bothers with the context at all — before warning that it doesn't mean you should feel sorry for these particular troopers, who serve Warlord Fang's personal defense deployment.
