Factions & units

All 39 units of StarLite II, split across three opposing doctrines. Stats pulled straight from the game engine.

Zglenglo

THE BROOD

The Zglenglo don't build, they proliferate. Their strength is mass: cheap units produced in a constant stream, a hive that evolves in tiers, and a creep spread that extends their vision. Playing Zglenglo means trading individual quality for sheer overwhelming numbers — all the way up to the level-3 Brood Titans.

OVERLORDSupply

Suspended overlord, +8 population. No weapon: keep it safe.

THE HELIAS

The Helias fight behind shields that regenerate out of combat, rewarding hit-and-run engagements and micro-management. Expensive but powerful units, warp mobility, and ramping energy weapons: a demanding faction that punishes mistakes, but has a very high ceiling.

Humans

HUMANS
