Summary	0016143: Spirelite Golem and Neinzlike Golem
Description	TL;DR: - Modular fortress golem - Golem-sized Neinzul enclave How?!? We know that Spire, Neinzul and living Zenith (now they're only remnants) used to be contemporary, and we can then suppose that there used to be trades or exchanges between them. The Zenith, Spire and Neinzul modular fortresses and champions are clues of that. Modular design is spire tech. I don't remember where I read that, maybe in the Fallen Spire's journal, at the first encounter with refugees, but I know that riot control starships and human modular fortress are scavenged from Spire artifacts. Then, the Spirelite Broken Golem would be a dead Zenith who was very close to Spire culture and technology. It would be something between the zenith modular fortress and one of the huge zenith batleship from the Fallen Spire campaign. On another side, we know, thanks to Stars Beyond Reach spo...revealed lore, that Zeniths were huge individuals on the body of whom "little" beings (maybe between human and ship sized) lived and participated to the golem's life (a bit like humans' intestinal flora). Then, the Neinzlike Broken Golem would be a dead Zenith who was very close to Neinzul culture and technology, and which little beings were the short-lived Neinzul younglings instead of usual zenith "intestinal flora". This kind of golem would be a symbiosis between the golem needing "microbial life" and the younglings needing a hive. I know that a Neinzlike Golem would resemble the Hive Golem, but (IMO) the Hive doesn't feel Neinzul: wasps are burst attacks. The "Zenith younglings" would be more long lived and controllable (maybe unable to cross wormholes) and unable to be stacked and released as bursts. (I love when the RNG seeds younglings ARS and DesignBU: I pretend that my Mobile Space Docks are true Neinzul hives, like if human friendly roaming enclaves would be player controllable.)
