Goons, officially known as hivemind-augmented soldiers, are a group of artificially altered humans created primarily to serve as disposable troops for an eventual invasion of the Dark Canopy. Following a series of revolts incited by a goon known simply as Ogibi in Geran Year 1795, the head of the Goons' development, Darfler, was sent into hiding, and hundreds of thousands of goons escaped their compounds in Efsisi. The vast majority of Goons ended up in the southern Bread Bin, where a series of settlements consisting mostly of goons consolidated to form an entity dubbed Goontown.
Origins
Following the failure of the cyberzinic ATs and the creation of Ignea, chief archmage Kenedi was inspired by the hivemind-like behavior of the Dark Canopy animals to try another solution to the Dark Canopy problem. The solution to overwhelming the Dark Canopy was not, in Kenedi's mind, a small number of highly powerful soldiers that could each cause massive damage if they went rogue, but instead an extremely large number of troops that acted as a single unit. Kenedi proposed this solution to an financially desperate Darfler, who cautioned that giving humans hivemind capabilities would come at the cost of reduced intelligence and ability to act independently. To solve the potential ethical problems, Kenedi told Darfler that all subjects would be criminals taken from Gera's prisons. Darfler was hesitant, but bankrupt and unable to find other work, so he agreed to create the goons for Kenedi as long as he funded the project and never spoke to him directly again. Darfler agreed to these terms, and set to work creating the goons.
