Enhanced Primary Invasion Conscript

Enhanced Primary Invasion Conscripts (E.P.I.Cs) are tougher, more powerful versions of normal Bane troops.

Official writeup
From Feedback Friday 14th November 2008: In response to over a year of AFS successes, the Bane have improved upon their conscription process and are enhancing their army with a new kind of super-troop. Recon reports indicate that these troops have shown up sporadically in recent attacks on Foreas and Arieki. Intelligence suggests that these troops are suited to heavy conflict - such as that found on Earth. These conscripts are being used to hunt down and eliminate the remaining scattered survivors of mankind.

What we know:
 * They hit hard
 * They travel in small groups
 * No single receptive has encountered a group and lived to tell about it

E.P.I.C. Bane (simply reduced to ‘Epics’) will need to be confronted by a full squad of prepared and highly coordinated Receptives of the highest rank. They are not to be taken lightly. Caretakers, Technicians, Pistol and Rifle Soldiers as well as Thrax Grenadiers have all been sighted.

These new conscripts represent the foremost threat to our survival. Receptives, it is up to you all to work together to confront this menace and defend the last of Humanity.
