Lascannon demostration image - The CrowGuard mod for Cortex Command

The CrowGuard are an elite mercenary force, who are often brought in to handle difficult situations. The planet they originate from was once a small earth colony until a deadly disease and the hard conditions present there caused most of the colony to die out. but the colonists that survived rose from the debry of their fallen government and united under the flag of F'nGhruchd, a great "old one" who is believed to have travelled to the planet during the troubles (or perhaps caused them) and the survivors are said to be his "chosen few" They chose to name their army after the Earth Bird that smuggled its self with the colonists and survived the apocalypse by feeding on the weak.
