The Sybaris Rebellion IV - Agents and Bounty Hunters III

 As the insurgency grew in strength, more lethal counter-assets were committed. In these picts; a hunter-killer team of mixed-pattern combat servitors. Above right; a Shashka-400 series unit with an incinerator. Highly sought after for their proficient tactical subroutines.

The Sybaris Rebellion IV - Agents and Bounty Hunters II

A view to a kill.

The lower noble houses and industrial syndicates began to take notice, dispatching operatives to investigate. Seen left is a heavily armed security Servitor automaton. The figure to the right is likely a contract bounty hunter armed with a modified BiR-5 stub carbine. The tattered remains of his uniform suggest he was a former soldier of the ill-fated Vektal Confederacy.

 A rare example of a Zhukov-88 assassin droid. A dangerous technoform possessed of flawed AI sub-protocols, occasionally prone to resultant homicidal fits.

The Sybaris Rebellion IV - The Abhumans


At first dismissed as mere minor organized crime groups and opportunistic feral denizens, things became more serious as larger mutants flocked to their cause. The heavily built individuals depicted here appear to be former labor gang conscripts armed with a variety of work tools and home made armor.

They could not expect to match the local authorities but held the advantage of having safe quarter in the vast Manufactorum complexes where they could blend in with the local populace. The mutant leader as seen in the bottom pict is armed with a sawed-off Jefir Stick, a lever action slug gun popular with these groups, a simple but reliable weapon.

These groups dubbed the "Sub-Sybarians" were typically armed with crude shotguns, pistols and mining explosives. Typically low grade black market reproductions of various designs, but effective in the close quarters of the lower hives.
