Description
The Seed-Soldiers are the mainstay of the Shasvastii Expeditionary Force. As a race, the Shasvastii do not believe in either upfront engagement with the enemy or in strategies of direct confrontation, and their Seed-Soldiers are a clear exponent of this. Invisible ghost vehicles disperse Seed capsules along the battle-line. Their automatic deploying programs are designed to locate and bury the Seeds in positions well hidden from sight and from satellite vigilance.
There they remain, receiving a stream of tactical information, until their hour comes. In the interior of each Seed, a fully equipped Shasvastii soldier bides his time, patiently acquiring and processing data on the enemy. When the Combined Command gives the order to attack, the Seeds open, firing off a stream of information that fills the enemy’s tactical screens with an array of previously inexistent contact points, thereby at a stroke confounding not only the strategic planning, but redrawing the battle lines themselves. This is the worst battle analyst’s nightmare: everything that has been planned for is suddenly invalidated by false information, because the invasion has already taken place and the enemy is already inside your home.

This is the battle analyst’s worst nightmare: everything that has been planned for is suddenly invalidated by false information, because the invasion has already taken place and the enemy is already inside your home.
Heavily cloaked, nearly undetectable deployment ships bury Shasvastii Seed capsules in remote, hidden locations where soldiers or operatives will be needed. Each Seed contains a Shasvastii who remains hidden inside while receiving a continuous intelligence and information stream from the EI network. The Shasvastii inside deploys from the Seed capsule either on command or time trigger. While the operative moves away from the deployment site, the opened Seed emits electronic interference and false data signals affecting any nearby detection or sensor arrays, effectively covering initial deployment. Seed Soldiers can then wreak havoc in areas previously considered secure.
