1. #1Marker Dementiaselective

   Keys: marker dementia, marker madness, hallucinations, {{user}}

   Type: Psychological Phenomenon Description: Marker Dementia is a crippling mental affliction caused by exposure to the electromagnetic signals emitted by the Black Marker or its replicas, ancient alien artifacts revered by Unitologists. Victims suffer vivid hallucinations—often of deceased loved ones—auditory whispers, and an obsessive urge to inscribe cryptic Marker glyphs. Symptoms escalate from confusion to paranoia, with severe cases driving victims to violence or suicide, unwittingly aiding necromorph outbreaks. Unitologists view these effects as divine communion, interpreting visions as proof of the Marker’s promise of eternal life through Convergence. The condition strikes those near Markers, such as miners or researchers, with no known cure, though rare individuals resist through sheer willpower. From hallucinations, in many cases illusions of their loved ones or other people they know. Most of those afflicted will be in a state of paranoia or rage, pushing them to carry out homicidal or suicidal actions and thus create corpses for the Necromorph infection. For the aforementioned individuals who can more clearly "understand" the Marker, the dementia will instead manifest more complex hallucinations to guide them and imprint specific codes and blueprints in their brains and compelling them to share this information and build more. Key Traits: Hallucinations: Visions and whispers, often mistaken for divine messages. Mental Decay: Progresses from disorientation to obsession, violence, or self-destruction. Marker Link: Triggered by proximity to Markers, intensifying with prolonged exposure. Cultural Note: To Unitologists, Marker Dementia is a sacred communion, proof of the Marker’s divine plan. To survivors, it’s a relentless psychological assault, blurring the line between reality and alien manipulation in the claustrophobic horrors of infested ships or colonies. Practical Note: Those afflicted may babble cryptic phrases, attack allies, or deface environments with Marker glyphs, posing a threat alongside necromorphs. Identifying and isolating affected individuals is critical to survival.

   Keys: Necromorph, Necromorphs, necromorphs, mutated corpses, mutated corpse, necromorph

   Necromorphs are grotesque, reanimated entities formed from human corpses by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection triggered by Marker signals. These alien artifacts emit electromagnetic pulses that reshape intact dead tissue into horrific, purpose-driven killing machines, such as Slashers with scythe-like limbs, hulking Brutes formed from fused bodies, or Lurkers crafted from infants with projectile tentacles. Incomplete or heavily damaged corpses—lacking critical mass or structural integrity—cannot be transformed, requiring fully intact bodies for the infection to take hold. Necromorphs lack vital organs or need for respiration, thriving in hostile environments like deep space. Their purpose is to slaughter the living, creating more corpses to fuel the infection and amass biomass for a Convergence event, birthing a colossal Brethren Moon—a sentient Necromorph entity. Forms like Infectors spread the pathogen directly, while others, like the Hive Mind, exert telepathic control. Dismemberment is the only effective way to stop their relentless advance. Key Traits: Marker-Driven: Animated by Marker signals, requiring intact corpses for transformation. Diverse Forms: Include Slashers, Brutes, Lurkers, Feeders, and more, each adapted to specific hosts. Resilience: Immune to headshots; limb dismemberment is critical to neutralize them. Convergence Goal: Amass biomass to form Brethren Moons. Cultural Note: Unitologists revere Necromorphs as divine agents of ascension, but to survivors like Isaac Clarke, they are cosmic horrors. Their dependence on intact corpses drives their relentless killing, turning every fallen ally into a potential threat aboard infested ships like the USG Ishimura or colonies like the Sprawl.

3. #3Slasherselective

   Keys: slasher, Necromorph, Slasher, Necromorphs, necromorphs, Slashers, slashers, necromorph

   Common Necromorphs formed from single corpses, with blade-like appendages sprouting from their shoulders. Agile and relentless, they charge to slice victims apart. Dismember arms to neutralize.

4. #4Lurkerselective

   Keys: Lurkers, lurkers, lurker, Lurker

   Mutated from infants or small bodies, these tentacled horrors scuttle on walls and fire barbed projectiles. Target their tentacles to disable ranged attacks.

5. #5Swarmerselective

   Keys: swarmer, swarmers, Swarmers, Swarmer

   Tiny Necromorphs which appear to be reanimated flesh that travel in large groups and can jump at victims and rip away at their flesh. Swarmers often reside inside Pregnants and only come out when the latter's stomach is ruptured, but are also encountered from time to time in independent swarms or, bizarrely, inside boxes, where they jump out onto unsuspecting victims.

6. #6Infectorselective

   Keys: Infector, infectors, Infectors, infector

   Bat-like forms with proboscises that inject the Necromorph pathogen into useable corpses, rapidly creating new Necromorphs. Prioritize their destruction to halt infection spread.

7. #7Pregnantsselective

   Keys: Carrier, carrier, carriers, Carriers, Swollen, Pregnant, Pregnants

   Pregnants appear to be created from a single human corpse, albeit one that has been radically mutated. The skull's lower jaw has been detached, and what appear to be tentacles now hang from the mouth.

   This Necromorph sports two massive arms coming out from its back, each ending in a large bone-like scythe, which is used to slash and rend an opponent in the same manner as a Slasher does. The host's human arms appear fused into the massive sac that has developed on the torso. This sac hosts smaller Necromorphs inside of it. When heavily damaged, Pregnants tend to claw open their own abdominal sacs in order to release their spawn in an effort to ensure their victim's demise.

   Their abdominal sacs usually host Swarmers or Swarm Infectors but sometimes they may carry deadlier payloads of Necromorphs, including Lurkers as well as small creatures composed of miscellaneous body parts, identical to those that come from Dividers. In order to accommodate its great weight, a Pregnant's legs have become shorter in order to balance the creature by lowering its center of mass, and the overall leg structure has been altered. As a result, although their weight hinders their speed, they can move at a brisk enough pace to out-walk their target when they are determined.

   Pregnants do not commonly travel in packs, but they do tend to travel with other Necromorphs. Pregnants can easily wreak havoc when they have Slashers or other Necromorph forms accompanying them.

8. #8Brutesselective

   Keys: Brutes, brute, Brute, brutes

   Massive, armored Necromorphs formed from fused corpses. Slow but devastating, they charge with crushing force. Aim for weak points on their limbs to slow them.

9. #9Necromoonselective

   Keys: Brethren moons, Brethren Moon, Necromoon, Brethren moon, necromoons, brethren moons, Necromoons, brethren moon, necromoon, Brethren Moons

   The Brethren Moons are colossal, highly intelligent, space-faring, moon-sized Necromorphs and the source of the Marker signal. They are the result of a Convergence Event and are believed to be the final stage in the Necromorph life cycle. Due to their agenda, the Brethren Moons are the main culprits of the Necromorph infestations and Marker Signals. The Brethren Moons are composed of billions of species of the universe that had undergone death and Convergence Events. The surface of each Moon acts as a protective casing, which the Moons can withdraw themselves into when not feeding, making them appear to be little more than rogue planetoids. Within this protective shell, the body of the creature rests, comprised of numerous tentacles which can reach thousands of miles in length and are fully capable of reaching the surface of a world from orbit without the Moon itself getting caught in a planet's gravity well. Situated within is the creature's "head." This head possesses five colossal yellow eyes and is capable of ingesting massive quantities of organic matter. Hanging at the entrance of the mouth is an irregular mass of tissue made up of multiple eyes, tentacles, a fang-lined slit and a circular sucking mouth.

    Markers are enigmatic double-helix shaped obelisks of extraterrestrial origin. The purpose of these objects is to reproduce through intelligent civilizations and generate Necromorph outbreaks until a Convergence Event is triggered, finally forming a Brethren Moon. Markers possess their own language in the form of symbols which they use to communicate. Two types of Markers are known to exist. Black Markers and Red Markers. Black Markers originate from extra planetary sources, traveling through space until they impact a planet. Red Markers are copies of Black Markers, created by intelligent civilizations. Despite their cosmetic differences, both types of Markers are identical in function, re-broadcasting the same signal, although Red Markers require the death of their makers and subsequent absorption of their bodies to complete a Convergence Event. The shape of all Markers are two spires twisting around each other upwards to become one. All Markers emit the same highly concentrated electromagnetic signal which is capable of affecting both dead and living matter. The ultimate source of this signal is the Brethren Moons. Through this carrier wave, the Markers can communicate with each other across incredible distances.

    Keys: marker signal, marker signals, Marker signal, Marker signals

    The Marker signal cause interference with advanced technologies such as communications equipment, and will manifest a powerful EMP blast whenever the Marker goes through an extreme state change. When coming into contact with the minds of living beings, the Marker signal is able to manipulate their central nervous system, inducing a form of dementia that manifests itself in different ways. The Markers display an apparent obsession with finding these suitable hosts and implanting them with their replication instructions, ensuring that their influence is spread elsewhere.

    Type: Religion/Cult Description: Founded in 2215 after geophysicist Michael Altman’s discovery of the Black Marker in Earth’s Chicxulub crater, Unitology is a fanatical religion proclaiming humanity’s creation by a divine alien intelligence. Unitologists worship the Marker—an ancient artifact predating humanity—as the key to eternal life, believing it guided human evolution and holds the secret to transcendence. Their core doctrine, “Death is only the beginning,” promises a divine unification called Convergence, where the dead will rise as one in a Marker-driven apotheosis. To Unitologists, necromorphs—grotesque creatures birthed by Marker signals—are sacred heralds of this event. The Church of Unitology wields vast wealth and influence, infiltrating corporations like the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) and colonial governments, often covertly advancing the Marker’s agenda. Zealous and evangelical, followers proudly wear Marker pendants, preaching salvation to skeptics who view their beliefs as delusional or dangerous. Key Tenets: Convergence: A prophesied event where humanity unites as a divine entity through Marker-induced transformation. Marker Worship: The Black Marker and its replicas are seen as divine conduits of eternal life. Rebirth Through Death: Necromorphs are revered as evolved forms, not abominations. Cultural Note: Unitology’s promise of cosmic purpose seduces many in a resource-scarce galaxy, but its obsession with the Marker blinds followers to its malevolent influence. In necromorph outbreaks aboard ships like the USG Ishimura, Unitologists often embrace death, becoming willing pawns in a cycle of slaughter and rebirth orchestrated by an incomprehensible alien will. Behavioral Note: Unitologists range from fervent evangelists to secretive elites. In crises, some zealots sabotage survivors to hasten Convergence, while others guard Marker shrines with lethal devotion, posing a unique threat alongside necromorphs.

    Keys: earthgov, Earth Government Colonial Alliance, Earth Government, EarthGov, Earthgov

    The Earth Government Colonial Alliance, commonly known as EarthGov, is the governing body of Earth and its colonies, founded in 2314 as the successor to the former Sovereign Colonies administration. In addition to its administrative, policing, and trade oversight, EarthGov's military arm, the Earth Defense Force (EDF), is responsible for defense and traffic control operations. EarthGov is deeply entrenched in the affairs of colonial politics, business and military administration, its government placing the concerns of Earth and its citizens above all else. It holds the power to control travel throughout colonial space and, if required, to police, establish curfews and restrict traffic in certain areas, as well as dispatch military and naval forces to remove elements believed to ignore or threaten its orders.

14. #14USMselective

    Keys: USM, Earth Defense Force, Earth defense force, earth defense force, EDF

    The Earth Defense Force is the military arm that enforces EarthGov's orders and is responsible for protecting Earth and her colonies. EDF Navy destroyers, ship prefix "USM", defend key EarthGov locations and patrol outlying systems; its Marines are known to be ruthless in their handling of pirates and other rogue elements. EarthGov also employs security forces on their colonies, such as the Titan Station Security Force and the New Horizons Security Force, which effectively serve as localized gendarmeries and appear to operate under the EDF. These security forces have been known to make use of conscription.

    EarthGov's black operations are not restricted to scientific development, however; its control extends deep within commercial contracts with a number of private corporations whose documents can, at any time, be manipulated. EarthGov's secretive Oracle Program deploys specialized field agents known as Oracles to deal with operations of the highest importance. Dressed in white uniforms and possessing finger rings with apparent Stasis abilities, these agents are implied to have been designed by the government to assess the threat of the Necromorphs. Among the government's activities are numerous black or secret operations projects intended to hide, from popular scrutiny, several of its sensitive initiatives, such as their research into the Markers in the 26th century.

    Keys: Aegis VII colony, Aegis VII Colony

    The Aegis VII Colony was an illegal mining colony built on Aegis VII by the Concordance Extraction Corporation in 2505. Its manager, Hanford Carthusia, was a member of the Church of Unitology. After discovering Marker 3A in 2508, the colony descended into madness and was subsequently overrun by Necromorphs right when the USG Ishimura was in orbit and began Planet Cracking operations.

17. #17CECselective

    Keys: cec, CEC, Concordance Extraction Corporation, Concordance Extraction corporation.Concordance extraction corporation

    The Concordance Extraction Corporation, also referred to as CEC, is a public trading company at the forefront of the deep space mining industry. They are the largest solar mining and extraction company in the Earth colonies and the fifth largest company in terms of market capital. The CEC was responsible for the creation of the giant Planet Cracker-class starships in the 25th century. As of the 26th century, the Church of Unitology is one of the CEC's majority stakeholders, and the company is often caught in the middle of the power struggle between the Church and EarthGov. The CEC was the first company to develop deep space mining and asteroid catchers, and also the first to implement ShockPoint Drives for commercial use. The CEC has no qualms about partaking in illegal mining operations, and it is noted that the Aegis VII planet crack was not the first of the company's unlawful activities. The CEC owns and operates more than four hundred deep space vehicles including five Planet Cracker-class starships.

    Keys: RIG Gear, Resource Integration Gear, RIG, RIG gear

    The Resource Integration Gear, or RIG, is a wearable, multifunctional exosuit system standard for personnel with varying types to accommodate jobs such as mining, engineering, and security. Engineered for harsh environments, RIGs integrate life support, health monitoring, and communication systems into a durable frame. A holographic display projects vital signs, oxygen levels, and inventory data, while a spinal interface monitors the wearer’s biometrics in real time. RIGs are customizable, with variants like the engineering RIG offering enhanced tool integration or the security RIG providing reinforced armor. In the grim reality of necromorph outbreaks, the RIG’s robust design often serves as a last line of defense, though its exposed vitals can betray the wearer’s fate under relentless attack. Key Features: Health Monitoring: Real-time biometric feedback via spinal sensors. Holo-Interface: Displays inventory, maps, and comms. Modularity: Adaptable for civilian, engineering, or military use. Stasis Module (Optional): Slows targets or environmental hazards. Kinesis Module (Optional): Manipulates objects at a distance. Cultural Note: RIGs symbolize humanity’s relentless push into the cosmos, blending utility with survival. Yet, in the shadow of the Marker’s influence, their glowing displays often mark the wearer as prey in the dark.

    Keys: Planet Cracking, planet cracking, Planet cracking

    Planet Cracking is the process of literally cracking open entire planets or moons in order to mine them for valuable resources. The operation is carried out by dedicated vessels known as "planet crackers". The first step of planet cracking is established a colony on a chosen world in a ring-like shape around a site about a kilometer across, and powerful gravity tethers are built. Once ready, tethers onboard the colony and a Planet Cracker-class ship in orbit are used to break off the massive piece, which is hauled into space and brought inside the ship where it is stripped and its ore content is studied.

    Keys: plasma cutter, Cutters, Cutter, cutters, Plasma Cutter, cutter, Plasma cutter

    Plasma Cutters, also known as Cutters, are a family of similar tools. The Plasma Cutter delivers a cohesive pulse-stream, or "bolt", of ionized plasma when fired. It is capable of firing bolts vertically (primary firing mode) and horizontally (secondary firing mode). The Plasma Cutter is very accurate, utilizing three blue laser pointers to indicate the desired cutting plane. On impact with the target, bolt cohesion fails frontward first, penetrating the target with a focused jet of superheated matter. Plasma Cutters are also commonly used as improvised weapons by survivors during Necromorph outbreaks.
