'''Cloud Striders''' are the defenders of [[Neomuna]]. They are considered to be an antithesis of [[Guardians]] in that they volunteer to defend rather than being chosen. They also have a very short lifespan, as opposed to the immortality of Guardians. There are typically only two Cloud Striders at a time, an older one and a younger one. <ref name= "Dev Interview"/>

Overview

Cloud Striders are Neomuna citizens who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with nanotechnology, granting them enhanced strength and agility, and increasing their height, making them as tall as a Cabal Legionary. Additionally, this nanotechnology affords the Cloud Striders powerful weapons, including a compact silver surfboard-like device that both allows the Cloud Striders to quickly move about Neomuna and can be used as a shield, as well as a transforming gun powerful enough to strike a Pyramid.

However, these augmentations have drawbacks. In addition to a shortened lifespan of about a decade, only two Cloud Striders can exist at any given time. Commonly, these Cloud Strider pairs consist of an older one and a younger one.[2]

History

Many colony ships sought to escape Earth during the Collapse. Most failed to flee Sol, and many ended up forming what is now known as the Reef. One ship, however, successfully transported a group of people to Neptune, where they eventually settled and became the citizens of Neomuna. Some of these citizens chose to augment themselves with nanotechnology to protect the city from threats like the Vex and the Darkness.

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[3]. 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.
  • The nanotechnology they use is not to be confused with SIVA, however, the lore tab for the Quicksilver Storm does imply that Neomuna is dependent on technology which can interface with that of Clovis Bray.
