VORNY STATUSES
This homebrew adds 2 new statuses tied to devourers
and prey; DEVOURED, and CHURNING.

DEVOURED
By some means you have ended up inside of
someone’s stomach, though you are not in danger just
yet.
Any characters that are DEVOURED gain the following
effects:
 You are IMMOBILIZED until DEVOURED ends, with
checks and saves to avoid DEVOURED also
counting as avoiding IMMOBILIZED.
 You cannot draw line of sight outside of the
devourer and characters outside of the
devourer (including the devourer themselves)
cannot draw line of sight to you, with weapons
being treated as not having a valid path to you
unless specified otherwise.
 You are treated as adjacent to the devourer for
effects such as ENGAGED, but not for any effects
from any characters outside of the devourer.
 You cannot inflict GRAPPLED onto the devourer.
 You occupy the same spaces as the devourer
and move when they move (even if you are
SLOWED).
 All attacks you make with weapons that are not
AUXILIARY sized or have the SIDEARM tag gain
+1.

 INSIDE SERVICE
When you do INSIDE SERVICE, your consumptive
expertise is used to devour a willing or unwilling person.
The exacts can vary depending on the situation and
your specializations into devouring, but ultimately the
situation will have you gobbling people up one way or
another.

Describe how your character handles the request

and roll:

On a 9 or less, you gain a Reserve, but choose one:

 You accidentally devour or digest someone
you did not intend to.
 You attract far more attention than you and/or
your client wanted.
 You cause severe distress to anyone who
witnesses what you did, usually generating a
strong negative reaction.
 You experience a debilitating reaction from the
person(s) actions while devoured. This can be
severe stomach pain from thrashing, nausea
from poison, or some other effect that will
greatly impair your functioning.
 You unintentionally influence someone’s
perception on vore in a negative way.

On 10-19, you gain a Reserve but choose one:

 You find the client is not happy about how you
did their request.
 You end up in an awkward situation resulting
from having one or more people inside you.
 Your body experiences an adverse reaction
from the person(s) actions while devoured.
Although not severe enough to be crippling, it
is still an unpleasant experience for you.
 You wind up attracting the attention of other
people demanding your services, likely in a
less friendly way than your client.
 You cause rumors and stories of a man-eating
monster roaming the area.

On 20+, you gain a Reserve without having to pay a

price.

Your character must have some degree of vore affinity

or equipment to perform this downtime action.

Flash-homunculi such as the Watchdog Co-Pilot used in the rugged Tortuga
exist in a grey-area of legal personhood with the Watchdog Co-Pilot
being under review a joint USB/UDoJ-HR commission. Despite reassurances
by Union and many within IPS-N that the review is unlikely to cause a
mass freezing or recall of Tortuga production, several high-ranking
members and shareholders within the corprostate sought to create an
alternative chassis fearing that one of their flagship products could be
scrapped with a bureaucratic penstroke. A trail of half-complete
prototypes and scrapped projects eventually led to the issuing of what
would be dubbed “The Trundling Pillbox”: an open contract to third
parties aiming to create a Tortuga variant capable of safely
transporting and shielding marine squads during boarding operations.
Many designs ranging from adding a retrofitted crew compartment to
extending its brachial armor to act as a mobile bunker, though
ultimately none of these designs provided satisfactory results.

Within the Breadbasket Cluster, the IPS-N Void Brigantine was attacked
by radicalist Horizon Collective members seeking to liberate many of the
NHPs being transported to an ADI-IND orbital production facility.
Fighting between the Horizon Collective and Trunk Security rapidly
escalated until several NHPs unshackled during the fight ended up
merging into the proto-EIDOLON Verumspatium, quickly trapping the two
sides inside an unstable metavault. Suit Snappers garrisoned at the
facility quickly rushed inside and though many were left helplessly
immobilized alongside those onboard, the team were able to successfully
neutralize Verumspatium. Recovery operations on the Void Brigantine
discovered a liturgicode strand originating from the destroyed
Verumspatium able to modify organic tissue into simultaneously
possessing a vastly increased internal space and partial intangibility.
While it is theorized this was used to phase vast quantities of
lipoactive agents into armored individuals, ADI-IND were able to safely
harness its capabilities and eventually create a frame satisfying all
The Trundling Pillbox’s design criteria without requiring extensive
overhauls to the Tortuga chassis.
At first glance, the Barataria appears to be little more than a Tortuga
with less brachial armor and a downgraded sensors package. In truth, the
entire chassis has been seamlessly altered to align over a carefully
crafted wrinkle just outside of standard causality, with the pilot's own
stomach acting as a bridge. This paracausal space not only can
temporarily ‘shrink’ any entities inside, but also enables two-way
interaction between individuals inside and outside the pilot’s bridged
stomach. Utilizing this paracausal space has been known to cause side
effects to both the pilot and the mech, with pilots experiencing an
altered sense of hunger and fullness while mechs trend towards
autonomously executing material-transfiguring code executions.
The Barataria is an alternate frame for Tortuga acquired at License Rank

A freakish combination of the White Witch’s magtech agitators and the
Balor’s neurosynced nanites, the Marbled Witch has an uncanny ability to
redirect and absorb incoming fire intended for allied forces. How
exactly these mechanisms work together remains unclear though they seem
to have a symbiotic relationship; both aiding with the other’s
shortfalls or amplifying their strengths. Strangely this combined system
does not draw material from its ambient environment despite the
individual mechanisms doing so on their native chassis. Currently it is
unknown how ADI-IND managed to do this as the information is highly

it does not drain the biomass of its pilots or nearby organic creatures.

The exact origins of the Harvester remain shrouded in mystery to the
general public. Some claim that unknown Sparri hunters approached SSC
requesting a frame capable of devouring megafauna in combat, others
believe that it was made in secret by SSC’s Exotic Materials Group in
collaboration with ADI-IND, and a few recounting the likely embellished
story of an insatiable Atlas pilot seeking far greater quarry than his
original frame could provide. In truth none of these are the official
origin of the Harvester frame nor are they entirely separated from its
true story.

Though the revered Atlas has received high praise from Sparri hunters
and Karrakin nobles alike, there has been those believing the frame’s
actual performance is a far cry from what its users praise it as.
Frequently cited complaints include but are not limited to: frequent
microreactor overheating, microneedle fracturing, difficulty knocking
over larger combat machines, and an uncomfortable interior for larger
pilots. These complaints were not unwarranted as the SSC Exotic
Materials Group started work on an improved version of the Atlas chassis
aimed at addressing many of the original’s shortfalls. Initial design
specifications called for the removal of its ornate memory-retention
technologies along with introducing body compressional technologies
acquired from ADI-IND to increase both pilot comfort and synthetic
muscle density. This prototype variant – given the name SSC Dohertyi -
showed promising results in combat trials and rigorous testing but
ultimately failed to capture any significant interest, leading to the
project quietly being abandoned.
One particularly frustrated Atlas pilot going by the name Sonteviak
“Headhunter” Jeitsa eventually caught wind of this project and
approached SSC for more information, taking poorly to the lack of a
proper response and refusal to provide any of the remaining frames.
Sometime after this confrontation, a failed midnight heist by Jeitsa on
an Exotic Materials Group black site led to information about the
Dohertyi reaching ADI-IND with the two negotiating a deal to hand over
information around the Dohertyi in exchange for new breakthroughs in
lipoactive protection measures.

With minimal adjustments and some assistance from the Exotic Materials
Group, production of the Dohertyi soon began with ADI-IND advertising
the frame as a specialized offshoot of the Atlas intended for hunting
down megafauna and combat machines alike. The frame quickly earned a
reputation from impatient and ravenous Sparri hunters able to devour
massive creatures whole along with reports of Dohertyi pilots leaving
pilotless husks of mechs in their wake. ADI-IND quickly sought to create
a revised frame and retrofit package that would further improve its
capabilities, creating what would be known as the Harvester.
The Harvester is an alternate frame for Atlas acquired at License Rank 2
of the Atlas license.

Initially discovered during a recovery expedition to an abandoned space-
station, remnants of Goblin chassis were scattered around along with
signs of a major battle between a local HORUS-supplied rebellion group
and a long-gone Karrakin House. Later investigation revealed that
although utilizing many of the same systems as the Goblins, various
internal parts were either completely absent or heavily altered. Most
notably was the processing weave seeming to change over time to mimic or
match the pilot’s own neural structure, slowly becoming akin to a second
skin or set of clothing rather than a mech chassis. Further research
shows this processing weave shares many similarities with the SSC
Mourning Cloak’s biologically-sourced components. As of now, Adiposa
Industries and SSC have not disclosed the true nature of the Sphinx’s
internals or if they collaborated with the other corporation to create
it.
Rather than utilizing the Goblin’s INSTINCT rig or attempting to emulate
it, the Sphinx instead possesses the ‘David’ CQC Cyberwarfare Rig.
Although sacrificing long range hacking and advanced intrusion code, the
Suite equips the Sphinx with high-strength electromagnetic pads doubling
as both advanced mag-clamps and as efficient point-blank electronic
transmitters. In addition, the David Rig also integrates any melee
weaponry and invasion code into its symbiotic neural weave, letting the
user attack targets with both at startling efficiency. HORUS cells
operating Sphinxes have had to develop lengthy psychological
conditioning programs and training to prevent pilots from becoming
reckless, overconfident, and arrogant due to seeing themselves as
‘giant-slayers’ able to take down any machine larger than themselves.

The Jomini is a highly experimental frame that is rarely seen outside of
Harrison Armory blacksites and eccentric Lancer squads. Developed as an
offshoot of the Sunzi project, the Jomini was intended to utilize its
blinkspace technology to greatly boost the efficiency of logistical
operations by transporting people and supplies through temporary rifts.
Early in the project, engineers and users identified a persistent issue
of ‘misjumps’ no matter how many fixes or solutions were tried. Mechs
reappearing half embedded in walls or into other mechs, going much
shorter or further distances than planned, sometimes even vanishing
altogether. All these issues gave the Jomini project a negative
reputation and it was eventually sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Adiposa Industries, interested in getting their hands on Volador
technologies and furthering relations with Harrison Armories, arranged a
deal to gain the research and prototype models of the Jomini in exchange
for schematics on their Hermetic Compartment and Sylph Composite Armor.
Similar to Harrison Armories, ADI-IND also encountered the pervasive
misjumping issue. Rather than simply writing off the project as a lost
cause or salvaging anything of worth, they instead attempted to
replicate the Minotaur internal metafold to create a vast enough
internal space to give any frames that misjumped into it enough space to
not accidentally merge with the Jomini, thus becoming inseparable. It
was discovered that the Jomini’s metafold, though not modifying the
mech’s cockpit or internal space, created a stable yet exceedingly
destructive pocket dimension any frames teleported into the same area as
the Jomini would wind up. Immediately ADI-IND saw an opportunity and
after some further refining, created a weaponized version of the
Jomini’s persistent blight.
The Jomini is an alternate frame for Sunzi acquired at License Rank 2 of
the Sunzi license.

Built off the framework of its predecessor, the Sigismund was created
from the need for a less resource-intensive yet highly imposing heavy
weapons platform. Firepower is the main aim of this frame with much of
its bulky defensive plating and signature gravitic railgun pulled in
favor of making it into a conventional semi-mobile siege gun able to
continuously shell heavily fortified positions. Many Sigismund pilots
have come to love the frame’s extensive internal dampeners and
insulation as microimpact injuries and hearing loss are commonplace
among non-Sigismund superheavy artillery units.

ways. Ravager more into the setting at large.
 DEVOURED: Any NPCs that are devoured also

ATTEMPT ESCAPE.
 NPCs that are devoured via teleporting
automatically fail the first ATTEMPT ESCAPE roll
they make due to the disorientation from the
process
 NPCs cannot escape from dismounted PCs
as a reaction at the start of their turn.

HANDLING VORE AND

COUNTER-VORE NPCS
When I say “counter-vore” in this context, I mean
NPCs that can directly or indirectly reduce a
character’s chance of being devoured. Obviously
there are the Gut Meister anti-vore optionals, but the
core book and supplements also have several things
that fall into this category. Stated below are a few
examples.
 Archer Class: Impending Threat.
 Bastion Class: “Pause” Engine.
 Commander Template: Voice Of Authority.
 Exotic Template: Chronotorus.
 Pirate Template: Slaver Signal.

As a general rule of thumb, try to avoid having more

than 2 vore or anti-vore NPCs in a single combat as
these can end up making the battles frustrating for
players reliant on devouring or with players being
constantly devoured. Additionally, try to telegraph or
hint at these capabilities to some extent so players
can try coordinating and working around them. Again,
your job as the GM is not to defeat the players, but to
give them a fun time.
