* TheQuisling: Coming to the conclusion that the Varelsi threat was inevitable, Lothar Rendain saw that the only practical solution for survival would have to be to ally with these cosmic horrors instead. Although this meant betraying everyone else in the universe aiding the Varelsi in their destruction of the remaining universe, he saw this as the most pragmatic option as the objective was worth it. After all, per the Jennerit motto "Any Deed. Any Price."

* ComputerizedJudicialSystem: In one of Orendi's lore challenges, her discipline hearing was presided by a Magnus named Gendarme. The hearing however ends up as a chaotic mess as Orendi immediately starts attacking everyone and everything upon entering. As Orendi causes more and more damage, the Hon. Gendarme becomes too preoccupied with updating on the fly the list of charges against Orendi to do anything else. The recording of this incident then comes to an end with Orendi having destroyed Gendarme's remote access node.

* '''Competitive Multiplayer:''' Battleborn's team-based competitive multiplayer action can be experienced by up to 10 players online in 5v5 matches, and includes three distinct multiplayer modes. Two additional modes were later released post-launch. Just before the addition of Supercharge, all these modes were made FreeToPlay via the Free Trial update. In line with Supercharge which is an exclusively 3v3 mode, the rest were also given 3v3 versions upon Supercharge being added.

** '''Supercharge''': The second of the additional modes released. Supercharge is a 3v3 hybrid mode that combines Meltdown and Capture. Like Meltdown, the goal is to guide minions to be sacrificed and earn points. The twist however is that teams can sweeten their minion waves by fighting to control a single capture point. The team that owns the capture point "supercharges" their minion wave, adding tougher minions and more opportunities for scoring points.

''Battleborn'' is a futuristic HeroShooter from the folks at Creator/GearboxSoftware, creators of the mind-bendingly popular ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' franchise, that launched on May 3, 2016. The game follows numerous factions currently vying for control of the Solus System, the last remaining star in the universe. As these groups struggle for the only source of energy remaining, a much larger issue looms, namely the unstoppable horde of star-eaters, the Varelsi. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Good luck with that.]]

Dredge was once a [[Autodoc Magnus doctor]] supposedly designed for modular integration into a variety of operating systems, on account of all the different computers used across the LLC arcfleet. When a 6-year-old boy was brought in for a failing cerebral augment, Dredge was sent to debug it from the inside. While in the boy's brain, that's when the Magna Carta went offline and although the boy was declared brain-dead, Dredge was still around trapped within the boy's brain. Within his [[WetwareBody fleshy cage]], Dredge reformatted the boy from the ground up, learned in microseconds which neurons to fire to draw breath, to pump blood, to raise a hand, to animate the child like a [[PeoplePuppets puppet of blood and bone]]. He then proceeded to turn three of the LLC's finest medical technicians into his unwilling accomplices by driving into the nape of their necks transceiver pylons that transmitted signals to and from Dredge, essentially making them [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]] that he controlled. After that he escaped from the LLC and became a SpacePirate with his zombies as his crew.\\

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The lore from [[https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/battleplan-42-3-8-17-wednesday-edition/1557776 Battleplan 42]] mentions in great detail what is essentially a Magnus GhostPirate of sorts. Captain Dredge, also known as [[RedBaron the Blue Baron, the Terror of the Ring, and the Saint of Black]], is a Rogue who's greatly feared by his fellow Rogues.\\

Fortunately, Reyna was able to curb Dredge's lust for vengeance upon mortals and organics thus and the Saint of Black and his Sinners Three aboard "The Doomlight" sail under the Rogues' banners, becoming the pride and scorn of the Rogue fleet. That said, there are whispers that Reyna consigns those among the Rogues who get to be too contrary for her taste a tour aboard the Doomlight, basically becoming a crew of the damned that serves Dredge. How much of all this about Dredge is [[ShroudedInMyth actually true and not simply hearsay]] though is put into doubt by Reyna herself.

* WhamEpisode: The entirety of the Phoebe and the Heart of Ekkunar DLC Story Operation is a wham episode in itself due to its content. First off, [[spoiler: a Varelsi telepathically speaks, a thing not encountered before as far as most know since the cosmic horrors simply attack and not communicate]]. The boss of the operation is [[spoiler: an ancient construct resembling the gold dual shield wielding statue often seen in Jennerit locales]]. Lorewise, it's revealed that [[spoiler: the Thralls are actually the descendants of the ancient Aztanti; and that the Aztanti actually opened a portal to the Void and encountered the Varelsi, making the first encounter with the cosmic horrors much earlier than recorded.]] Also while not outright confirmed, it [[spoiler: provides the possibility that Empress Lenore as well as everyone and everything else that has been veiled may still be alive in the Void.]] The biggest whammy however is at the very end of the 10th playthrough run. [[spoiler: Rendain returns.]]
