Pilgrims

Pilgrims: Genetically engineered inhabitants of the Pilgrim System, these people have been spread across Kobra Sector since the destruction of their star system by a rogue black hole nearly 100 years ago. Dominant chromosomes enable the huge and massively strong Pilgrims to breed true to their genome, even though they are widely scattered and sometimes oppressed. Pilgrims are routinely seen in the Republic Marines, where their incredible size and strength are assets in combat. Pilgrims are often recognized by the red crosses tattooed in their foreheads, which is a symbol of their faith. Kobra World is offering the survivors of the Pilgrim System Disaster to relocate to an uninhabited world of their choice within Kobra Sector, and offer which has not (yet) been refused.
