Story notes
Gleaming matte hardbodies scramble over the wreckage of the Palastra VII, their eerie sensor-pits lasering outward to target your compressed atmo cartridges... The techno-mummified geels exist only to kill biological sapients and "liberate" other technical devices. They cannot manufacture ships or 'works, and no known geel can tack or create new cohorts. But these reavers can pilot the ships upon which they find themselves awoken—still programmed to kill after millennia of decay and electronic nightmares.
Variants
- Some war bands, and all frigate crews, keep packs of trained geelish warbeasts. These neon-eyed robotic hellhounds leap into battle upon command, slavering sparks.

Attacks
- Bite, d20 damage
- Claws, 2d4+2 damage plus bleed 1
- Tailswipe, d8 damage plus stun 2
Each round, a warbeast can attack with its bite and either its tailswipe or claws
Powers
- Transcendental flashbang (standard) – Instead of attacking, a warbeast can burn 4 GRT to release a strangely hypnotic burst of smoke, noise, and radiation that automatically stuns d4 sapient targets within 5 M for 1 round
Gear
- No gear, but parts are worth 3d100 gl to an Archivist.
Story notes
They cannot be tamed by the razi power tame, but they can be reprogrammed using jack. (They are complexity 4 code archaetech items and thus cost 12 GRT to temporarily reprogram.)
