Prepare to meet the Necroids, an intelligent species who believe that death is not the end, but rather the beginning of their journey.

      • Reanimated Armies: Allows the deployment of morality-immune, undead armies
      • Memorialists: Erects monuments to the galaxy’s past, improving planetary stability and honouring tomb worlds
