Goras

ENCOUNTERED Titania CLASSIFICATION Prehistoric biotech predator OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Energy beams, physical strikes DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Cybernetically reinforced exoskeleton

INTEL Remote reconnaissance drones in the Titania region have alerted Corneria Strategic Intelligence to unexpected activity just beneath the planet's surface. Study of the recovered drone data suggests that the source of this activity could be the legendary Goras.

Long thought extinct, the Goras was once a revered beast on Titania—in the ancient days when a long-lost civilization ruled the planet. In its natural, prehistoric form, the creature was said to have dwelled primarily underground, using its four arms to tunnel through the sand and ensnare prey from below.

Archaeological records suggest that scientists eventually modified the Goras and made it an integral part of the civilization's defense protocol. In doing so, they gave the beast the ability to emit powerful energy blasts from two of its arms as well as its mouth, and they affixed armor plating over its thick scales. This plating was meant to protect the creature's primary weak point: its heart.

ASSESSMENT Considered extremely dangerous and of minimal strategic value, Titania is currently on the Do Not Approach list. But should our forces find themselves there, they must be prepared for contact with the Goras. Combatants should prioritize attacking the creature's arms to disable the weapons integrated there. Meanwhile, though the beast's chest is protected, our forces should look for openings through which to target the heart and strike a killing blow.
