Piscean

Pisceans are a mythical xenos species heavily associated with the history of Necromunda.^[1]

It is rumoured that long ago this aquatic xenos race arrived on Necromunda, which at the time still had large oceans. It is said they were both cunning and violent and viciously resisted humanity's conquest of Necromunda years later. According to the legends of House Delaque, the Pisceans vanished shortly before Necromunda became consumed by industry and war. The Delaque believe the Pisceans did not leave Necromunda, but instead took refuge in the subterranean oceans near the planet's core. It is thought that Delaque first encountered them thereafter and discovered they had a similar psychic gestalt mind as members of the house. A silent partnership has grown over the centuries between the two; though the Delaque have never visited the cities of the Pisceans, it is believed the fish-aliens have ventured to the surface and offered themselves to the House of Shadow. These are ancient Piscean warriors who come to the depths of the hives to "die" in the enclaves of Delaque and have their brains placed in mechanical caskets. These are eventually fashioned into the cybernetic hunters known as Piscean Spektors.^[1]
