Mindforce History
The mutants belong to a genetically degenerated breed of neo-native humanoids. Several generations of mutants have passed rapidly on Calypso, resulting in a continued variety of different mutations amongst their kind. Their appearance can vary from strange and ugly to sickening or horrifying. Some are so extremely mutated physically, that they no longer look like humanoids, while others have suffered mental mutations, allowing them to employ mental powers similar to the human Mindforce. Permanent genetic alterations have also created several distinctive breeds of mutants.
The mutants are descendants of the first settlers on Calypso, but are no longer classified as human beings. They are outcasts, a tragic reminder of the past and of the robot revolt. Exiled from human society, they weren't expected to survive for long - but they did. The mutants now roam the wild outskirts and ruins of vanquished old cities in growing numbers. Despite their mutations, or perhaps because of them, the mutants have managed to survive on their own and thrive to such a level that they could now pose a threat to the future human colonization of the entire planet.
Despite their human degeneration, many mutants are very intelligent, and they still possess enough knowledge to remain well aware of the main events in their past. Mutants are as multifaceted as any human, and some can be both friendly and trustworthy enough to trade with, while other mutants hate humans enough to try and kill them on sight. Despite these different alignments all mutants see the robots as their common hated enemy, and this legacy might turn a mutant into a human ally in the fight against the robots.

The Mutants were once humans, they were among the first pioneers that went to Calypso. After the robots used Nuclear devices in the Robot-Revolt they didn't die but were geneticly alterd. We assumed they died after a while but somehow they managed to survive, now they form one of the biggest threaths to humans on Calypso.
Humans and Mutants have two things incommend: they can both use guns and they both hate the robots. Them hating the robots will maybe one day mean they will fight by our side in the final battle. But be adviced, not all Mutants are unfriendly.
