"The Jackals are no novices when it comes to the power and control of SIVA. I thought they would scatter with the Jackals once you killed the source... I guess I was wrong. We have to stem the tide of this pestilence before it gets... in layman's terms, out of hand."

— Skorik on the rise of the Jackal Splicers.

The Jackal Splicers is the Splicer sect of the Jackal Syndicate responsible for the creation of new technologies and the repurposing of SIVA. Briefly encountered during the Crusades of the Jackals, they make a more prominent appearance in the Season of Pestilence.

History

Once a minor part of the Jackal Syndicate, the Jackal Splicers helped to create the armaments and technologies that helped the Syndicate advance to it's technocratic state. Once headed by Krathiks, Rabid Archon, this order had a minimal supply of SIVA to further strengthen the Syndicate, but was quickly neutralized by Lion-backed Guardians before they could have expanded their nanoplague-driven enterprise. With the death of Krathiks, following both Seriviks and Dakiliss, the Syndicate quickly fell apart, with remnants establishing themselves on Io and the minor scavengers stranded on other focal worlds with the House of Dusk. However, some remnants of the Jackal Splicers remained, with one sect remaining vigilant over the Jackal's Solitary Prison while others evaded Lion hunting parties within their hidden blacksites. With the collapse of order in the Jackal's Solitary, there was only those who hoped to avoid their hunters. Among them was a young Captain, named Krovnik, who swore revenge against the Lions and Guardians who brought him to this impoverished state. After a coup, with the support of the House of Onyx, he secured a position as Archon and killed the current Archon Draknis, the Hermit. After months of searching, they finally reawaken SIVA, becoming a new military power that rivaled even the technologically superior Jackal Syndicate. As one, the Splicers and the House of Onyx became a force to be reckoned with, with each and every member attempting to achieve Godhood.

Unique Forces

  • Ascended Splicer Dreg
• Splicer Wretch - special, lower caste melee troops graced with the energies of SIVA. SIVA tendrils on their arm allows the Wretch to grapple up ledges and lunge at targets. They now can throw their spears, now creating a SIVA barrier for cover. Headshots may release a tracking ball of volatile SIVA energy.
  • Ascended Splicer Wretch
• Splicer Vandal - common Fallen shocktroops graced with the technological abilities of SIVA. They have a smaller critical spot thanks to SIVA armor and can enter a melee rage that heals the Vandal once entered. Headshots may release a tracking ball of volatile SIVA energy.
  • Ascended Splicer Vandal
• Splicer Marauder - specialist infiltration units graced with the powers of SIVA. Can throw a SIVA-fied device that cloaks all allies in it's vicinity. It's melee ability can disorient their enemies, as well as suppress their weapons and abilities.
