The Defiance is an amalgamation of armies comprised of displaced alien races that have suffered at the hands of the crusading Human fleets. Their home worlds destroyed or conquered, they have bound together to address this universal threat to their existence. Fueled by the hatred that only an attempted genocide can manifest, this diverse force has put aside their differences for the time being to stop an unrelenting tide of Human expansion. The Defiance is led by Loodweeg the Macabre, the only surviving member of his race.
