Sylvassi

Sylvassi is a new playable race introduced in update 18. They have the ability to cloak rendering them invisible for a short time (15 seconds with 100 second cooldown). They are also immune to extreme cold and non-oxygen athmosphere, but they are extremely weak against fire. Also, their base armor is lower.

Background
The Sylvassi are an alien race that were embroiled in conflict with the humans during the Old Wars and are still recovering from those days. They possess a cloaking ability that allows them to go "invisible" for a short time, letting them flee from or reposition themselves in combat. They need a liquid methane environment to survive and are immune to extreme cold, but as liquid methane is highly flammable, they take extra damage from fires.

Sylvassi home worlds are cold and comprised largely of liquid methane, though many Sylvassi have grown up enclosed in their suits. A good number alive today are part of the first generation born free of the W.D. Corporation labor worlds since the end of the Old Wars. In the past century, more Sylvassi have begun to forge their own paths; some have joined the Colonial Union, others have found sanctuary in the Alliance of Gentlemen, and others still have pursued their own ambitions and joined the W.D. Corporation by choice.
