Starch



"Pineapple!"

Starch is the fifth android in the roster. She is unlocked after defeating Embryo in Campaign mode.

A fairly flexible character, her Laser Rifle can deal acceptable damage from afar but devastating damage up close. Her Micro Missiles, while not particularly potent, are numerous and can damage many targets at once.

-In-game Codex entry for Starch

''Starch was brought onto the ship in a dormant state and activated to serve as Aubergine's replacement. Boasting an even lower 'CDI' rating, the crew anticipated she would be the ideal personality-less servant right up until her catastrophic activation failure.''

[Starch is] what the Androids look like before they get synthetic skin (complete with hair follicles) stretched over their heads and have their irises attached.

''An active Core can't return to a dormant state, but the Android itself can have its body deactivated, like a full body paralysis. Starch was awake the whole time.''

Everyone except Cactus is a little bit worried Starch might flip out and kill them.

''The others think Cactus let Starch out because of misplaced sympathy or an unwillingness to believe she could have terrorised the entire ship, but Cactus knows what she is and just believes she's a valuable asset that shouldn't be wasted. Ironically, while Cactus hopes to win Starch over by showing her kindness and treating her like an equal, what keeps her line is that every future where she tries to cross Cactus ends with her head getting punched off. So that's why they're friends.''

Primary weapon: Laser Rifle


Starch's primary weapon is a laser rifle. While it is a very narrow beam, it has an instant travel time and unlimited range. Its damage increases with proximity to the target - while it deals mediocre damage at long range, at point blank range it can punch through even Titans extremely quickly.

Alternate skin
Starch's metallic skin can be unlocked by completing every level in Campaign using her. Any completion Rank will suffice.

This skin replaces most textures of her model with a metallic silver finish. The tips of her data horns retain their original green color, and her eyeballs take on a creepy, bright green shine.
