De Flores’ Faction

Terrestrial paramilitary operations and ideological extremism in pursuit of tactical power

Description

A militant neo-Nazi paramilitary faction led by De Flores, operating with extreme ideological fervor and distorted historical ambitions. They seize control of the Nemesis crash site, believing its artifacts—the silver bow and gold-tipped arrows—to be supernatural or technological weapons of divine power. Their tactics emphasize aggressive, immediate assaults on the Cybermen, but their lack of tactical coordination and resilience leaves them vulnerable to sustained firepower, resulting in heavy casualties. Structurally, they function as a disciplined military cell under De Flores' command, with key lieutenants like Karl and Richard leading ground operations. Their centralized authority and willingness to discard expendable members reveal their desperation to control the Nemesis unilaterally, prioritizing ideological purity over strategic alliance-building or practical control.
