Red Veil

The Red Veil is a supporting faction introduced in update 13.2. Previously identified as Rescue mission hostages, they have been revamped to have their own separate faction, and like the Tenno attempt to resist the Corpus and Grineer expansions into their territories.

Specters Of Liberty
In the Specters Of Liberty event, an individual who identifies herself as Cantis contacts the Tenno asking for desperately needed assistance in freeing hostages that the Corpus and Grineer have captured. Grineer and Corpus groups have taken members from the Red Veil hostage in an attempt to force them into submission.

All Rescue missions have now turned into Rescue 2.0 missions, in which tight security and special Wardens take extra precaution against the player's arrival. It is advised to let the hostage use the player's secondary weapon by going up to him and using the action button (default for PC).

In exchange for such a daring task, players will be rewarded Specter Blueprints in which they can use to craft Tenno holograms for use on their clan's Solar Rails, or to help fight in other missions by placing the holograms in the player's equipment gear section.

Trivia

 * They are the first official faction introduced that openly support the tenno and work toward a mutual benefit.


 * Cantis uses an unknown Tenno/Orokin language in his screenshot that is normally associated with the Tenno or Orokin, but has never been deciphered.
 * It can be assumed the scribble in the picture translates to "Cantis" but this is speculative.
 * Red Veil hostages are fully voiced and have their own 3d hud model.
 * They will offer to cover your back by asking for your secondary weapon from you to use, although they still will prefer taking cover and leaning around cover instead.
 * It is believed that they are the main manufacturers of Wraith weapons.
 * Some evidence of this is the similarity in color schemes between the Rakta Syandana, which Red Veil hostages wear, and the Wraith weapons.
