<p><b>Summary</b>: These are the shock troops of
the Kharaa: versatile, tough, and highly specialized
to combat. Disturbingly humanoid, Fades mix excellent
ranged attacks with powerful melee damage &#150;
which when combined with the seemingly supernatural
<a href="alien_fade_hive.html">blink</a> ability,
make them powerful all-around brutes, whose cunning
cannot be underestimated.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<a href="alien_fade_name.html">Name</a>]</p>

<p><b>Two/Three Hive Abilities<br>
</b><br>
<b>Two Hives</b>: <span class="sectiontext">Blink</span><br>
<br>
The so called &quot;blink&quot; ability
is one of the more contentious topics for
scientists studying the Kharaa. One side
believes that it is our observations that
are incorrect, that there is an optical
illusion of some sort at work, making Fades
appear to teleport, apparently through solid
matter. They believe that, at the most,
entirely new bodies are created at the destination
&#150; a kind of variant of the <a href="alien_evolutions_redemption.html">redemption</a>
evolution. The other side believes that
there is a phenomena similar to Frontiersmen
<a href="structures_phasegate.html">phase
gate technology</a> at work &#133; some
organic, highly evolved ability that exploits
the loophole in physics called the Kensky/Libovah
effect. There are significant weak points
in both arguments. But this phenomena undoubtedly
exists: footage exists of Fades disappearing
from one side of a wall, and appearing on
the other, or instantly covering the space
between them and their target.</p>
<p> <br>
<b>Three Hives</b>: <span class="sectiontext">Bile
Bomb</span><br>
<br>
As if its other abilities weren't enough,
with three hives the Fade becomes a mobile
mortar, launching packets of super-virulent
dissembling bacteria from its shoulder gun,
that explode with concussive force upon
impact and spread in a voracious ring. This
attack is especially effective at softening,
even obliterating, heavy defenses &#150;
and its curved, or arcing flight allows
the Fade to destroy <a href="structures.html">structures</a>
from a safe location. </p>
