Cloud Strider

Cloud Striders are the defenders of Neomuna. They are considered to be an antithesis of Guardians, in that they choose to defend rather than be chosen, and 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. Not many were successful, most of them failing to escape Sol becoming the Reef. One ship (as of yet unnamed), 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 undergone a process to enhance themselves with their nanite technology (Not to be confused with SIVA, although footage in the Lightfall Reveal and the lore tab for the Quicksilver Storm does imply that Neomuna is dependent on and can interface with Bray technology), at the cost of their lifespan, being able to live only a decade after the enhancement.

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.
