While the House of Sulfur is the most infamous (and easy-to-shoot) enemy of the Mfecane people, there are other dangers in Unkulukulu space. Some of which even come from within... The various technology left behind after the Crushing has been repurposed by those resentful of Mfecane involvement as well as those guided by greed and violence. Not every frame pictured here is an enemy, for not every dissident is a villain. Care must be taken when applying a disciplining hand to your people.

Speaking of @ukuwa-station: I'm lucky to be his go-to guy for illustrating his sick as fuck third-party setting for the Lancer RPG. It's an afrofuturist star empire wielding unique paracausal powers and technology pushing back against the capitalistic forces trying to subjugate them and their allies/vassals. Their tool of choice is a 15-20 foot tall mech with Shaka Zulu's spirit as the operating system and no sense of the word "chill". Due to my crippling caucasity, these are admittedly the afrofuturist equivalent of like...Plastic Soul. But I'm alright with being the David Bowie of afrofuturist mecha and the players on the Ukuwa Station discord are very, very happy with their new rides. So I'll keep making them. o7

While the Support Chassis was the House of Sulfur's attempt at making a bulky defender, recovered telemetry and data from Mfecane Nkala skirmishes led to them trying to reproduce the Mfecane's systems. They were, unfortunately, successful.
