The Tenno Vanguard

[Atra255]

Tenno,

Although the struggles we face are exhausting, do not give up hope.

During the rise of ALAD V, one of our scientists managed to decipher a code fragment that hinted at something previously unknown.

During the past few months a specialized team has been working almost non-stop to trace its origins. The ongoing war has served us well as a cover, allowing several operatives to go off-radar and pursue this ancient knowledge.

The dedication of these teams in their pursuit of knowledge lost has finally paid off.

This discovery may not be able to turn the war in our favor, but we will definitely be able to strike harder and more precise. The ancient orokin texts speak of a strike team only known as ‘The Vanguard’.

These specialized warriors were sent into the most dangerous locations to strike hard and fast, fulfilling their objectives with extreme prejudice. Although we are still deciphering more data, this is what we have found so far.

The Vanguard was a team of 3 Warframes, each featuring a set of abilities unseen so far.

Warframe ‘***’ - The Defender.

This specialized warframe utilizes a plethora of shielding technology to defend its team as well as indirectly assault the enemy. A few abilities have already been unveiled.

- AEGIS

Envelops all team member with a powerful shield that absorbs damage, making them impervious to all damage. After reaching a certain threshold, the shield violently explodes, damaging and pushing back assailants.

Several log files report that this shielding ability has an aetherial wing-like appearance.

Warframe ‘***’ - The Crusader

The warframe’s name and location has yet to be decoded, but fragments reveal some the terrible esoteric powers it wielded. It is clear that this warframe was the one who engaged the enemy combatants.

- IMPALE

The ability creates deadly spires of energy that burst forth from underground in a wide area, impaling their victim. Those that don’t die right away will bleed out slowly as they are writhing helplessly in the air, crucified.

Addendum: There was one warrior, whose name stricken from record, known to have a mutation of this power. Instead of a spike of energy, it had a twisted shape similar to the Orokin Tree in our dojo’s. As such, the nickname ‘Forest of the dead’ was appropriate when all that was left in his wake were entire divisions of grineer impaled by his strange power.

Warframe ‘***’ - Drone Command

‘***’ comes equipped with 6 regenerating drones. These drones are attached on the back of the warfame and supply additional shield when not in use. Each ability the warframe executes, uses one or more of these drones. After several seconds, a new drone will materialize in place of the used ones.

- SWARM

All 6 drones teleport to the designated location, assaulting everything within their range like a swarm of mad hornets. Mad hornets with lasers.

Although this is a powerful ability, it leaves the user with significant reduced shield power.

-------------

This is a short intro into new 3 character classes.

I haven’t given each one a complete set of skill because I think a group of people can come up with better ideas than a single person.

Anyone who likes is free to suggest ideas for their names and abilities.

Here are the themes of each ‘frame:

Warframe ‘***’ - The Defender.

Utilizes shield is different forms, shapes, sizes and properties.

Warframe ‘***’ - The Crusader.

Shapes and changes energy into physical objects.

Warframe ‘***’ - Drone Command.

Uses an army of remote drones to do his bidding.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Copypasted it from Google docs and it decided to take the text color along with all the formatting.
