Byron Army

From 30 Minute Missions: Wargame

The Byron is the first alien race to appear in the 30mm universe. “Byron” currently refers to the name of their faction, their home world, and their race. Little is definitively known about the appearance, biology, and morphology of the Byron other than they look as though they could be from Earth and resemble humans.

Their home world is a tidally locked planet orbiting a red dwarf star. The planet is much closer to its star compared to Earth and the star is smaller and less bright compared to Sol (Earth’s sun). Because Byron is tidally locked, one side continually faces the sun while the other always faces away from it. The only habitable area is the border between the scorching light side and the freezing dark side. Winds always blow from light to dark side at low altitude and vice versa at high altitude. Wind, sails, airships, and wind power might be a large part of Byron culture.

The Byron faction is made up of five great houses each made of allied families called ‘filiates’. Each house has its own specialties and individuals from different houses may differ greatly in appearance. The Houses were united several generations ago by a woman named Asperata Julia, who was made the first Byron Empress and named the Epitome of Unity. The Byron houses have since been a unified matriarchy led by a Empress referred to as 'The Scion of the Epitome', or simply 'The Scion'.
