Project: SchwartzenKrieger
Overview
The Schwartzenkrieger are the elite frontline units of the Lunastadt Invasion Forces, an unstoppable army of AI-driven, reanimated super-soldiers engineered by The Black Sun. Developed under Project Schwartzenkrieger, these units combine biotechnology, necro-regenerative enhancements, and advanced combat AI, making them immune to pain, fear, and traditional battlefield attrition.
They are deployed en masse via APC Deployment Vessels, which execute controlled crash-landings into war zones. Once deployed, Schwartzenkrieger legions overwhelm enemy defenses with relentless assaults, their necro-regenerative abilities allowing them to sustain heavy damage and continue fighting where conventional soldiers would fall.

Design and Origins
The Science Behind the Schwartzenkrieger
Schwartzenkrieger units were created using a combination of advanced bioengineering, necrotic cellular regeneration, and AI-driven neural augmentation. The Black Sun’s scientists pioneered a process that allowed dead tissue to be revitalized, combined with cybernetic enhancements, and embedded with an artificial intelligence that directs them in combat.
Key technologies include:
Decellularization & Recellularization – Stripped human tissue is restructured and reanimated using synthetic biological agents.
AI-Controlled Combat Systems – Schwartzenkrieger do not rely on individual cognition; instead, their combat reflexes are dictated by The Black Sun’s central command AI.
Regenerative Nanotech – Their bodies automatically repair tissue damage, allowing them to sustain extreme injuries and keep fighting.
Neural Override Systems – Their actions are dictated without hesitation or fear, ensuring absolute obedience and relentless pursuit of objectives.

Overkill Assault Mode: Briefly increases movement and attack speed after taking critical damage.
Cybernetic Coordination: Multiple Schwartzenkrieger units in proximity gain combat efficiency bonuses, adapting to enemy tactics in real-time.
Tactical Deployment & Usage
Shock Assault Troops: Best used in overwhelming wave attacks, forcing the enemy to waste resources holding defensive lines.
Urban Warfare Specialists: Effective at sweeping and clearing buildings, flushing out resistance forces.
Frontline Tanks: Can soak up large amounts of damage, allowing more vulnerable units to advance.
Psychological Warfare: Enemy units in close proximity may suffer morale penalties, as fighting against undead, AI-driven soldiers wears down resistance forces.
Weaknesses
Vulnerable to EMP Attacks: Cybernetic components can be temporarily disabled, reducing combat effectiveness.
Fire and Explosive Weakness: While capable of regeneration, Schwartzenkrieger bodies can be destroyed entirely through sustained fire-based or high-explosive weaponry.
Command Disruption: If The Black Sun’s central command link is severed, Schwartzenkrieger units become disoriented and lose efficiency.
Deployment in the Lunastadt Campaign
Phase 1: Cincinnati Invasion
Schwartzenkrieger are among the first units deployed, crashing into Cincinnati in APC drop vessels to overwhelm law enforcement and early resistance.
Phase 2: Expansion into the Midwest
They form the primary frontline assault forces, leading urban warfare sieges and strategic clearings in Detroit, Chicago, and other major industrial centers.
Phase 3: Nationwide Conquest
Schwartzenkrieger legions are deployed en masse to eradicate resistance strongholds, ensuring the Lunastadt invasion maintains momentum toward total domination.
Conclusion
The Schwartzenkrieger are the backbone of the Lunastadt invasion, embodying unstoppable force, technological horror, and battlefield supremacy. With their relentless attacks, regenerative resilience, and AI-driven efficiency, they are the perfect soldiers of the Black Sun—obedient, unyielding, and utterly merciless.
"They do not tire. They do not fear. And they will not stop until Earth belongs to Lunastadt."
Schwartzenkrieger Soldiers
"They are not men. They do not tire. They do not bleed. And they do not stop."— Sergeant William "Buck" Thompson, U.S. Resistance Fighter, Battle of Columbus, 2038
Overview
The Schwartzenkrieger, meaning "Black Warriors," are the pinnacle of Black Sun's bioengineering and cybernetic warfare programs. Created under Project Schwartzenkrieger, these warriors are more than just soldiers—they are the next step in post-human combat evolution. Through a combination of genetic engineering, cybernetic augmentation, and quantum neural programming, they have been rebuilt from the bones of the dead, reforged into unstoppable war machines designed for eternal service.
Originally conceived in the late 20th century, the Schwartzenkrieger initiative was put on hold due to technological limitations. However, by 2032, advances in biomechanical regeneration, nano-enhanced musculature, and AI-assisted cognition finally allowed for full-scale production. Deployed en masse during Operation Iron Wolf (2038), these soldiers led the Black Sun’s invasion of North America, with Ohio serving as the beachhead for global conquest.
The Schwartzenkrieger are not merely enhanced humans—they are engineered weapons, programmed for absolute obedience, immune to pain, and resistant to conventional firepower. Their presence on the battlefield signifies the death of traditional warfare, as no human force can stand against their relentless advance.
History and Development
"We have conquered the limits of human fragility. What we have built is not a soldier, but a weaponized god."— Dr. Helmut Edelmann, Lead Researcher, Project Schwartzenkrieger, 2035
The Project Schwartzenkrieger program was initiated in 1951, shortly after the failure of Project Spiritus, which sought to resurrect fallen soldiers using necro-technological processes. While Spiritus units suffered from severe mental degradation and erratic combat performance, Project Schwartzenkrieger aimed to completely rebuild a soldier—removing all human frailties while preserving combat instincts and battlefield experience.
However, early attempts were limited by technological shortcomings. The project remained in development for nearly a century, with key breakthroughs occurring in 2029, when scientists successfully mapped and replicated the neurological architecture of elite SS operatives from WWII using quantum synaptic reconstruction. This allowed for the creation of a fully self-sustaining, combat-adaptive intelligence within an engineered body.
By 2032, the first operational Schwartzenkrieger prototype was deployed for testing in secret Black Sun facilities. Their success led to mass production, with battalions of Schwartzenkrieger fully operational by 2037—just in time for the launch of Operation Iron Wolf, the Black Sun’s invasion of North America.

Deployment in Operation Iron Wolf (2038)
Phase 1: Invasion of Ohio
"They came out of the mist, marching through the ruins of Cleveland... bullets didn't even slow them down."— Lieutenant Mark "Bear" Harrison, Ohio National Guard, 2038
During Operation Iron Wolf, the Schwartzenkrieger battalions were deployed as the vanguard of the invasion, spearheading the assault on Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. The units crushed all opposition within days, decimating U.S. National Guard regiments and resistance cells.
Weaknesses
Despite their terrifying capabilities, Schwartzenkrieger are not invincible.
Electromagnetic Disruption: EMP blasts can temporarily disable their battlefield interface.
Overwhelming Firepower: Railguns, plasma-based weaponry, and sustained artillery barrages can penetrate their armor.
Neural Core Destruction: Targeting the AEMAETH core will permanently deactivate the soldier.
Legacy & The Resistance Countermeasures
As the war raged on, U.S. Resistance scientists developed EMP rifles, anti-cybernetic virus grenades, and plasma-based heavy artillery, allowing for some degree of resistance against Schwartzenkrieger. Despite these advances, casualties remained staggeringly high, and for most Resistance fighters, encountering a Schwartzenkrieger meant certain death.
Final Words
"They are nightmares given form—unstoppable, unbreakable. If we are to survive, we must find a way to kill what does not want to die."— Commander Elias Carter, Resistance High Command, 2040
