WHAT IS A WATCHER? Watchers are known for their potential for destruction and firepower, but what are they exactly? To tell the truth little is known about who they are or their origin. Some believe they are aliens, others believe they are humans from another continent. All that is assured is that the war for the planet likely began on the other continents. Hundreds of years ago, this continent traded with the others, but suddenly the trade stopped, any ship, new or old, which went looking for the wealth of other continents simply disappeared. The Watchers themselves are never seen outside of their body armor, which renders them nearly invulnerable to small arms fire. What they are is unlikely to be determined until the day that one could be captured intact after a battle.
