Cloud Strider

Cloud Striders are the defenders of Neomuna. They are considered to be an antithesis of Guardians, in that they volunteer, rather than being chosen, to defend. They also have a very short lifespan as opposed to the immortality of the Guardians.

History
During the Collapse, there were many colony ships that attempted to flee Earth. Most were unsuccessful in fleeing Sol, many becoming the Reef. One ship, however, carried a group of people successfully to Neptune, where they eventually became the citizens of Neomuna. The Cloud Striders are citizens of Neomuna who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with their nanotechnology, at the cost of their lifespan, which is reduced to about a decade.

Trivia

 * In the Lightfall reveal trailer, a transforming weapon used by a Cloud Strider appears to be able to attack a Pyramid with a rocket. If this is the case, this would be the first known weapon capable of doing so, as the Pyramids have negated any previous attempts at an attack.
