Infinity: Combined Army
And while humanity devours itself a new threat, perhaps the most terrible of all, has managed to form a bridgehead in the heart of the human sphere. A combined army of alien races, united beneath the dominance of an evolved intelligence, an ancient but supreme artificial intellect with hegemonic aspirations with respect to any race that crosses its path. An expeditionary force equipped with technology far superior to that possesed by humans, that has managed to withstand everything the Sphere has thrown against it, and appears to be awaiting reinforcements.
The present is a critical and decisive moment... Will humans become fully aware of what they are up against? Will they continue with their internecine struggles for larger slices of power? What will be the destiny of mankind? The Chinese cutse has come to pass and 'Interesting Times' are fast approaching...
In times of peace, they search around for possible settlements for future colonies of the Shavastii Continuum. In times of war, they turn into a nightmare for the intelligence services of their enemies, devoting themselves to causing trouble and extending misery. The Shrouded are specialists in surveillance, guerrilla and sabotage missions, and their equipment is most efficient for these activities. Their combat suits are an awe-inspiring example of quantronic miniaturization. They consist of an overlapping series of fabrics, composed by tissues made from bio-quantronic compounds that reduce their infrared signal, avoiding terrestrial sensors. The exterior layer is equipped with mimetic and wave absorption cells to merge with their environment and remain unnoticed. The final look of the combat suit of the Shrouded is similar to a shroud, prompting human troops to give them their name.

The Speculo Killers are the pinnacle of the Shavastii infiltration corps. The Continuum has created the perfect spies and assassins. Their advanced technology of genetic development can duplicate, from a generic biosynthetic body, an almost perfect replica of the person to be supplanted in less than 36 hours standard. Their clothes are made from a sophisticated holographic tissue, able to metamorphose and adapt itself to any new shape. To all effects, after eliminating their objective, they will turn into him, carrying on with his life as if nothing ever happened, until they are close to their main target. At that moment, the sleeping agent will wake up. The Speculo Killers act with a creepy efficiency, almost beautiful but perfect and lethal.
