Giants are a race of massive humanoids. They are the remnants of an ancient race known as the titans who claimed to be the progenitors of the gods themselves.

Many giants are wicked, selfish, and evil. They hate the smaller sentient species – who are beloved by the gods– and seek to subvert their worship to that of the titans.

Giants will often make slaves of the smaller species.

There exist many different types of giants. These primordial beings are the lesser incarnations of the ancient titans, who were themselves manifestations of nature. As such, the giants possess special powers based on the titans from whom they are descended.

Hill Giants are brutish creatures that serve as the front line grunts in the armies of the Giants’ Expanse. These near-mindless thugs are cybernetically enhanced upon reaching adulthood, and have their minds and bodies genetically altered to bring out their more aggressive traits as well as increase their already physically powerful bodies. Just one hill giant is known to tear through a unit of a dozen normal humanoid troopers in a matter of seconds! So an entire squad of these things, barreling towards one’s position on the field, is enough to make any trooper second-guess their service to the Empire.
