“
It's like a falcon.”
Detachment is a Divine of the Golden Branch. It serves as the protector of Counterweight, orbiting the planet at incredibly fast speeds as a selective blockade. It has devices which reflect sunlight to blind pursuers and can generate EMPs when attacked. It uses geosynchronous satellites to offload some of the heavy processing its capabilities require.
Detachment is humanoid; it's small for a Divine, only a little bigger than a Rook, but very bulky in shape. It has square, rounded booster packs and/or armour pods on its sides, with little wings. It also has a sword.
Along with its candidate Jerboa, it aligns with the Hands of Grace.

It has a friendly response to Liberty and Discovery coming online, opening its cockpit to them despite that this endangers (and ultimately ends) the life of its candidate. Detachment is brought to September in the Kingdom Come's mech bay. On September, it takes AuDy and Liberty and Discovery as its pilot(s) and candidate(s). Detachment supports the plan to enclose Rigour, opens the portal with Voice, and prevents L&D from leaving its cockpit. 4-5 years later, when Liberty flees in Detachment's chassis, Detachment itself is not present in that chassis; it is not clear what transpired.
Road to PARTIZAN[edit | edit source]
Cymbidium briefly mentions praying to Detachment during an intro narration.
