"The Banished bow to none. We walk our own path, forge our own future, united by a sacred pursuit of self determination. This above all, the Banished are free."
— Atriox's pre-recorded speech from a propaganda totem.[1][2]

Propaganda totems are totems created and deployed by the Banished.[3] The totems broadcast pre-recorded propaganda speeches from Atriox. The Banished's symbol is painted in front of the totem; sometimes there are war trophies presented at the totem's base.[4] During the Battle for Zeta Halo, Banished forces deployed at least eight propaganda totems across the fragmented section of Installation 07.[5]

Production notes[edit]

Lighting work for the propaganda totems was done by lighting artist Tyler Klimek, while set dressing around the totems was done by senior environmental artist Yuchun Huang.[3]
