Physical information

Distinctions:

Insectoid, with a single eye

 

Wasps are insectoid like aliens and one of the slave client races aboard the Pfhor scout ship, Sfiera. Capable of flight and sporting a single red eye, they hurl some form of an organic projectile as an attack. They are deployed in hordes, likely to overwhelm their enemy with volume of fire.

During the Pfhor attack on the UESC Marathon, two forms of Wasps were encountered by the crew.

  • Wasp Minors - Noted for their brown body and single red eye. They fire one projectile.
  • Wasp Majors - Noted for their white body and single green eye. They fire two projectiles, and have greater health.

Wasps were only seen during the first attack on the UESC Marathon, the species being absent from Battle Group Seven and thus the revolution on Lh'owon. They were replaced gameplay-wise by the Drones

Strategy[edit]

Wasps die fast to any weapons, but the Fusion Pistol can kill Wasp minors in a single hit. More focus should be put into evading their projectiles and not getting cornered by their hordes.

Trivia[edit]

  • Very little is known about the Wasps, as no information about their society or enslavement is given.
  • They do not rebel as the S'pht do after the Pfhor Controller is destroyed. Durandal remarks that they were held in line by fear and force of arms instead of mind control.[1]
