Holo decoys are a technology repurposed by the Terran Dominion from Umojan Protectorate prototype communications technology. They create a hologram of the user, convincing in appearance and able to damage targets but far from being solid matter. Though they cannot comprise an entire army, they function quite well as reinforcements.[1]

Campaign Effect[]

Holo decoys can be chosen in the "gadget" category for Nova's loadout in Nova Covert Ops if the blightbringer is destroyed in Night Terrors.[2]

The Holo decoy's wireframe will match Nova's, based on whatever weapon they are using, but when selected as a group, the decoy will depict Nova's unarmed wireframe.
