Commander Pandora

Among the ashes of resistance, the Invictus Movement emerged. Its origins are tightly intertwined with the rise of the legendary Commander Pandora. In the wake of Telum's merciless purges, the surviving rebels, persisting under the constant threat of persecution and torture, coalesced under the Invictus banner. The name became a potent symbol of defiance, a mantle worn by thousands of allied warlords to safeguard their leadership. For nearly a decade, these Ghost Scavengers orchestrated ambushes on Telum's DADs, scavenging their remnants to unravel the technological enigma behind their creation. This led to the birth of the first generation of Invictus DADs, contrived from the vestiges of antiquated weaponry that Telum had sought to obliterate in their bid to demilitarize the world. Commander Pandora's charismatic leadership and strategic acumen were instrumental in the successful rise of Invictus. Over the years, she cleverly infiltrated agents into Telum's upper echelons, who patiently waited, accumulating power and knowledge until the time was ripe to strike. The Invictus Revolution marked the inaugural war of the new world. This uprising broke the stranglehold of Telum's supremacy, solidifying Invictus as the second-strongest faction. Commander Pandora, now revered as a hero by her thousands of allies, offered a powerful alternative to Telum's hegemony, widely seen as the architect of the world's pandemonium. Ironically, Invictus gradually mirrored the very entity it purported to fight. Under Commander Pandora's leadership, the faction initiated a brutal forced recruitment campaign, marking any city that defied her authority as traitors. This resulted in the cold-blooded execution of hundreds, ostensibly to send "a message". Invictus's DADs quickly evolved from their initial crude forms into efficient machines of destruction. Within a few years, these initially rustic vehicles transformed into fearsome war machines capable of obliterating any opposition that dared stand in their way.
