About the game
Each member of Theta-7 Acquisitus was hand-picked by Balphamus Vaulk for their combat expertise and rigorous stealth-engagement protocols. Together, they embark upon numerous secretive actions at the behest of their calculating master. Sometimes these missions are part of a sanctioned Imperial offensive, in which Theta-7 plays a small but decisive role, but often they kill only to further Vaulk’s own ends. Regardless of the nature of their task, the warriors of Theta-7 Acquisitus engage the enemy with furious fervour, eliminating their foes in the name of the Blessed Omnissiah.
