Editing Nexos (section)

==Overview==

While the [[Genestealer Primus|Primus]] is a frontline battlefield commander, the Nexos is more akin to a rear echelon officer. Coordinating billions of indoctrinated souls on a planetary scale, Nexoses are unique bioforms created by a [[Genestealer Patriarch|Patriarch]] to undertake the organizing and execution of full-scale uprisings.

These creatures are imbued with a fraction of the cerebral might of a Patriarch which allows them to act as the central nervous system of a Cult. These gifts give them strange, psychometric powers that allows them to absorb the memories and consciousnesses of indoctrinated organisms, processing the sensory data into a steady stream of strategic instructions and deployment orders. For lack of a better description, it is the Genestealer's equivalent of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] [[Gene-seed|Omophagea]], [[Not As Planned|but somehow even <u>'''''MORE'''''</u> icky.]] By laying their hands upon the skin of a creature with Genestealer taint, a Nexos can absorb their genetic memory to the extent that they can see the subject's entire life.

[[/co/|Because of the Charles Xavier-esque mind powers,]] they can compartmentalize millions of these mental imprints inside their brains, building an incredibly complex three-dimensional view of the battlefield. However this process is draining for both the subject and initiator, for the human body is not meant to channel such potent neural processes. As a result, the Nexos is physically worn and strained.

In battle, a Nexos rarely emerges from the Cult's hidden lairs unless a first-hand view of the engagement is required, or it is necessary to absorb the memories of enemy troops. In the rare situations where they are directly confronted with the enemy, they call upon squads of [[Genestealer Hybrids|Genestealer Hybrid]] and [[Genestealer Aberrants|Aberrant bodyguards.]]
