The final two races for WildStar have been unveiled bringing the game’s total to a whopping eight. While the Exile have received the space zombies called Mordesh, the Dominion is now home to the wacky Chua. As with the other six races, the Mordesh and Chua have a lot of personality.
Below are the stories behind each of the two races:
Chua
Discovered by Mechari observers in the early years of the Dominion, the Chua of the forest world Bezgelor displayed from the start an uncanny grasp of science and mechanical engineering. Introduced to several examples of simple Dominion technology, the Chua zealously industrialized their home until verdant forests were replaced with factories and tranquil pastures were reduced to dustbowls of ash. The Chua joined the Dominion out of a need for resources that their own ruined world could no longer provide and for the past 1,000 years have created advanced weapons and technology for the empire. On Nexus, the Chua look forward to exploiting the planet’s legendary natural and technological resources while devising new and exciting ways to destroy their enemies.
Mordesh
The Mordesh of planet Grismara once were the envy of the galaxy. Their refinements in alchemy – driven by the great Grismaran alchemist Victor Lazarin – produced an elixir that was said to grant immortality. Distributed worldwide, the elixir eventually became unstable, causing those afflicted to physically degenerate and lapse into a mindless cannibalistic rage. The destruction that followed put the civilization a hairsbreadth from extinction and caused the Dominion to institute a brutal and uncompromising quarantine. While Lazarin created a vaccine for the disease, the Mordesh turned to the Exiles, who smuggled them piecemeal through the Dominion blockade. Forced by dwindling numbers and a hunted status, the Mordesh resorted to artifice and deception. Now seen by the Exiles as an unsavory, but necessary evil, they look to ply their dark arts on Nexus and wreak vengeance on the Dominion who deserted them.
WildStar is currently in closed beta and will release on PC later this year as a free-to-play MMO.
