	Vectori-strain Genestealers have a constant telepathic link with each other which can function clearly and without restriction (such as from intervening objects or other forms of shielding) up to one kilometre. This allows them to communicate with one another and pass information to nearby Genestealers swiftly and surreptitiously.

When they choose to act directly, very few combatants can endure their onslaught.		Whatever the truth of their origins, Vectori Broodlords are the most frightening of these creatures.
