The only true threat to the Hegemon are human populations that believe themselves exploited by the Hegemon. These individuals are disregarded by the majority of society and called radicals, malcontents and borderline manic with ‘cognito viruses’ that have blinded them with fanciful notions that run counter to the desire for financial prosperity.

Utilizing ancient secrets and powerful weapons, the Remnant helps organize and make Unionist uprisings more lethal.
