Cyber Knight Class[edit | edit source]
One of two essential (and single-character) classes for your crew. The Cyber Knight is considered the main character, the leader and a required squad member for many heists. Cyber Knights originated as data couriers for the quantum age, carrying a cutting-edge quantum-secure computer surgically implanted into their spine. During the Quiet War, as the quantum technologies arms race soared, their abilities were enhanced to levels far beyond what was originally intended. Now outlawed, Knights are hired under the table, able to operate as a walking quantum countermeasures & tactical calculations hub on the battlefield.
When a Cyber Knight is implanted with a quantum rider in their spine, it changes them forever. The integration of the quantum tactical computer is deep, and it makes them extremely fast, tough, and at times, nearly prescient. Their preternatural coordination and signals processing gives them Talents to buff their squad, manipulate the Initiative order, predict enemy movements, disrupt drones, and generally serve as a force-multiplier for their squad.
Another benefit of the Quantum Rider is that a Cyber Knight's body responds exceptionally well to new cybernetics. Their recovery time from cyber surgery is half of what it is for a normal merc.
