What would Ruk really think about his namesake?
Named after one of the saviors of the Beta people, the original Hand of Ruk suffered an accident during field tests. Afraid of its power, Beta leadership vowed not to deploy the behemoth unless absolutely necessary. Recent iterations have become more stable, allowing for construction directly on the battlefield. In truth, Ruk would protest such a dangerous weapon being named after him, due to this gentle nature. Unfortunately, the first Hand of Ruk was commissioned after his death.

When things are most grim, Humanity sends in one of its own.
With humans reaching near immortality, the idea of losing countless numbers in warfare became almost inconceivable. Thus, after the Armistice, it was decided Humanity's armies would remain mainly artificial. However, when the situation is dire, a single human will be called in to pilot the devastating Alpha. It's not that the Alpha's weaponry can't be automated, that would be an easy task. In fact, no human trusts the awesome destructive capabilities of the Alpha to a machine.

When all else fails, the Goo sacrifices an important part of itself to survive.
The creation of a Purger is an instinctual reaction. When no other avenue seems viable, Goo will sacrifice itself into a Purger in a desperate bid to avoid annihilation. A Purger should be considered the feral child of the Goo - running mainly on impulse and self-preservation. Once Goo merge into a Purger, there is no going back. The most dangerous thing the Goo could do is create is one massive Purger. By doing so it would lose most reason and knowledge, focusing on survival instead.
