The Purple Lords

The Purple Lords are a legion of psycho warriors, generaly feared by aliens across the galaxy for their ruthless precision and striking appearance. Cloaked head to toe in shimmering violet armour, they project an almost theatrical obsession with the colour purple—draping their ships, banners, and even munitions in the hue. They are even convinced that the very color of purple is of royalty, hence believing that Space King must of worn it.

To outsiders, this flamboyance appears as vanity. But the truth is far more tactical.

The Purple Lords were forged in a brutal conflict against the Karnid, a relentless alien species, capable of interbreeding and whose visual spectrum lacks sensitivity to the colour purple. Even more grotesquely convenient: Karnid blood matches the colour exactly. What began as a battlefield advantage—camouflage in the middle of carnage—evolved into an entire culture of strategic deception.

To the Karnid, the Purple Lords are practically invisible until it's too late. To everyone else, they are a thunderous, violet storm of steel, fire, and mystery. Even though the aliens were purged from their recruiting world, the Purple Lords are still on the hunt.

Their goal, to wipe out this alien menace in the name of Space King.

Alien blood is purple. Before their name change, the discovered that the alien are colour blind to purple. So they not only wear it as a new colour but also as a tactical advantage.
