Sacrifice

The mercenaries began to double time away from the now scrap metal that was the Thurx battle droids. They would not have a lot of time to leave before the noise was investigated. 

We had actually managed to make great distance over an hour or so, before we came across a large fight. The Spartari Phalanx, the Hive, and some Lizard men? were battling between each other. Answering my question for me, Kathrine muttered through her helmet. "Starforged." 'Ah, what that man was going on about earlier.' I thought, having a body to the description.

The star forged were wearing very little protective armour and took around 20 laser shots to the chest before one seemed to go down. They were overrunning the Spartari with their melee combat, but were somewhat struggling against the swarm, as the warriors scythes could cut through their tough skin with relative ease.
