Black Skull Corps

A psuedo-military organization made up entirely of Silicon Soul.

History
Started by Leone Pheron during the Era of the Admirals, they work to protect Silicon Soul members from ECHO persecution. ECHO, once they heard about Silicon Soul actively went out of their way to destroy them. They felt their existence was an affront to humanity, as Silicon Soul is not Carbon based. It's creation was directly affected by the destruction of the Silicon Offspring Project. Leone's husband, Blane Pheron, was slain defending the Silicon Soul Children. This is known as the Silicon Massacre.

She gathered the bereaved parents and killed the murderers, except for the three ringleaders. Fifteen of them, five assigned to each high level ECHO member, have infiltrated the Estellion Sky Empire and other organizations that harbor the three.


 * Tortuga-Colonel of ECHO and an ECHO Captain.
 * Halbred-Major of ECHO and an ECHO Captain.
 * Piate-ECHO Captain and an accomplished Hunter of Winds.

They know that they are hunted, and do not sleep easy.

Details
During the Battle of Jacinto Towers, ECHO members and other members of the Estellion military discovered a large enclave of Silicon Soul. They were disgusted by the rampant trans-humanism and body modification that is the norm for Silicon Soul. Because they didn't view them as human, they had little to no compunction about killing them whenever a group was discovered. This was gleefully carried out by Tortuga, the officer in charge of the area. They attacked nearly thirty different camps of Silicon Soul and gathered information on something that scared them. They discovered the designs for the Silicon Soul members to create their own children.

Tortuga, Halbred and Piate led the Assault on Silicon Height. Silicon Height was the 'capital' of Silicon Soul, in very loose terms. They attacked with their entire force, and surprised the guards. The ECHO forces counted themselves lucky that ECHO Captain Rike had drawn off most of the forces in an earlier battle. When they entered, they discovered that the plans had been successfully in Blane Pheron. He had been modified to act like a father seahorse. An unlucky ECHO Soldier 3rd Class killed one of the children, sending the protective Blane into a rage.

Tortuga hit him with a Cartridge Cannon, forcing him to retreat. Leone, with her Communication Gem system connecting him to her could only listen as he was hunted and slain. It overloaded her Emotion Module and caused her to hate. Fifteen other members of Silicon Soul lost their future children to ECHO. They banded together to kill the three survivors of their counterattack.
