The Battle Brothers are superhuman warriors that have been empowered through gene-mods and special training to bring about their Founder’s vision of an uplifted humanity.
Their pursuit of this vision at any cost led to a violent civil war which nearly destroyed humanity itself, and in pursuit of their enemies fleeing this conflict, they found themselves lost in the Sirius Sector. The Battle Brothers have not relented however, and they go to any length to unite and uplift all of humanity.
Background Story
The Battle Brothers were created by a visionary scientist, known as the Founder, who used a series of gene-mods in order to enhance soldiers beyond their human limits. The Battle Brothers were soon deployed to maintain unity and peace over Earth and its nearby colonies, with the gene-mods proving wildly successful, and many seeking to join their ranks.
The Founder revealed his vision of a united and uplifted humanity, capable of thriving throughout the galaxy with the use of advanced gene-mods. In order to overcome political obstacles to his vision, the Founder led a daring coup to seize control of humanity’s colonies. Many Battle Brothers followed him, overtaking the previous administration in order to improve the lives of many within the colonies, whilst other Battle Brothers rejected the Founder’s ambitions, and soon a civil war erupted that engulfed all of humanity.
The civil war proved to be incredibly destructive. On Earth, the fighting was particularly fierce and some feared that it might render it uninhabitable, and a portion of humanity chose to flee the situation, commandeering one of the Founder’s fleets. The Battle Brothers pursued these refugees, eventually meeting them in battle at the edge of known space. They were met with a surprisingly fierce resistance, with the Founder losing his life in the ensuing battle shortly before a massive wormhole engulfed both fleets, and left them stranded in the Sirius Sector.
Scattered by the wormhole, the Battle Brothers have moved quickly to establish themselves in the Sirius Sector. Stranded far from the rest of humanity with their Founder slain, the Brothers still hope to carry out his vision. Even as advancements are made in gene-sciences, the Battle Brothers remain steadfast symbols of the Founder’s dream for humanity, and the their unwavering faith has turned them into a symbol of humanity’s potential and resilience.
The Battle Brothers now serve as the highly elite army of the Conduit, a genetic and mental duplicate of the original Founder. They seek to reunite the shattered human factions in Sirius under their rule, finding a means of recontacting Earth and enforcing their vision of a united humanity. Other factions and species are viewed as little more than impediments to this goal which the Battle Brothers will overcome, and nothing will cause them to relent in their pursuit of the Founder’s vision.
How will you unite humanity?
Detachments
Battle Brother Detachments are elite battle companies of superhuman warriors with highly specialized training and tactics. Stranded in the Sirius Sector, the Detachments settled a number of worlds which they have adapted to their unique needs.
The Detachments changed over time as well, becoming more distinct and developing their own ideas of how best to serve their Founder. Now, Detachments struggle to maintain a sense of unity and purpose as they become more distinct.
Following the genetic innovations of the Founder, the Battle Brothers were soon deployed to maintain unity and peace over Earth and its nearby colonies. Early space travel had proven an expensive and difficult process, and as a result, Battle Brothers were assigned to each colony as a permanent garrison. These garrisons were formed into the first Detachments, serving as their world’s first line of defence against insurgency and civil conflict.
Detachments rapidly adapted to combat on their respective worlds, developing unique tactics, equipment and roles to excel in localized conflicts. By the time that the first wave of recruits had been fully trained, most Detachments had already developed their own unique culture, skills and traditions, which set them apart from the original Battle Brothers. Many Detachments became symbols of stability and cultural identity on their respective home worlds, gathering respect and political influence as their reputation grew.
At the height of the Detachments’ influence, the Founder revealed his vision of a united and uplifted humanity, capable of thriving throughout the galaxy with the use of advanced genemods. In order to overcome political obstacles to his vision, the Founder led a daring coup to seize control of humanity’s colonies. Detachments moved quickly, with some declaring their loyalty to the Founder while others opposed him. This division sparked a long and destructive civil war which soon engulfed all of humanity.
On Earth, the fighting was particularly fierce and some feared that it might leave the world uninhabitable. A portion of humanity chose to flee the situation, commandeering one of the Founder’s fleets. The Founder drew a number of Detachments from the front lines to pursue these refugees, but a massive wormhole left both fleets stranded in the Sirius Sector.
The Battle Brothers moved quickly to establish themselves in the Sirius Sector, with each remaining detachment tasked with gathering their surviving members and settling on a world in order to best achieve the Founder’s vision. Their time in Sirius has given the detachments time to further specialize and hone their skills, building upon their predecessors in new ways. This has fostered a strong sense of independence and even rivalry among a number of detachments, united only by their loyalty to the original Founder and his successors, the Conduits.
How will your detachment adapt to the Sirius Sector?
Play Style
Battle Brothers are highly resilient and versatile, armed with a variety of special weapons.
They are one of the easiest factions to play, because they are able to survive against even the toughest of enemies, giving you a chance to retaliate before your models go down. Since they are expensive, it's best to maximize their use by having a clear plan for each of your units, and stick to the plan.

Miniatures
Battle Brothers are massive genetically modified soldiers in power armor.
To represent them on the battlefield large and bulky soldiers with heavy armor are best. Since they fight in all types of environments, they should generally have helmets on, but without helmets they should all look the same since they are clones.
