Officers
Officers. Humanity has long been preoccupied with understanding the modus operandi of Runes and artifacts – and, most recently, there has been some long-awaited progress in this regard. While scientists have not yet solved the mystery of the Runes, they have learned how to transfer Rune energy into … humans.
The desperate souls brave enough to take part in these experiments came to emit these energies just like the Runes. Despite the fact that such studies were immediately forbidden, some laboratories continued with their experiments. The test subjects were hunted down and had to go into hiding in various parts of the Cloud.
Lords began to seek out these people and take them aboard their ships in place of Runes and artifacts. A new market was established in the Oort Cloud: here, it became possible to purchase people who possessed Rune energy along with the usual artifacts and Runes.
In order to hide their presence on board ship in the event of meeting with the warships of the inner Solar System, these people came to be called Officers.
Officers can be purchased in the Store or awarded for Quests.
