Scourge Fighter

A fighter craft that grew a heartbeat.

Threat Dossier

Small infected attack craft, swarming the skies of Starblight in tight arcade formations before they dive on you. There's no pilot. The hull is just a shell now — rusted metal fused with black chitin, raw tissue weeping from the engine gaps, a toxic-green core where the cockpit used to be. As the run escalates, the formations mutate and the patterns sharpen. Clean sci-fi this is not.

Threat Read

  • Flies in arcade-readable formations, then descends, dives, or fires simple projectiles.
  • Toxic-green core or eye marks the threat at speed.
  • Mutating formation patterns keep escalating as the run goes deeper.
  • Built to stay readable at small scale and high velocity.

Recognize It

  • Chitin fused to broken metal
  • Raw tissue in the engine gaps
  • Living spore pods
  • No clean sci-fi glow
