Forceless Construct Warriors (or simply warriors) are humanoid simulacra made from Black Matter, and a common form for many of the Collective's more devout followers to be reborn as. Unlike Forceless Newborns (which can be created on the spot), Construct Warriors have completely settled on a humanoid form and are outfitted before being sent into battle. Despite these forms usually being characteristically distinct from humans (having long limbs and four-eyed masks), they are sometimes sent as scouts into civilizations that can be considered interspecies melting pots (as in there are so many different sentient species that almost nobody bats an eye if they see a species they've never seen before), with many presuming them to either be mercenaries or enigmatic alien cultists. Prior to the Forceless War, however, they explicitly avoided worlds where the Jedi or other Force faiths had heavy presences, as they would sense there was something off about these scouts.

Construct Warriors literally live to fight for the Collective. Their main weapon of choice is a pike with a blaster built into it, which comes in two variations. One looks like an ordinary pike, but with the blast nozzle near the blade and the trigger for firing almost invisible to those outside the Collective. Another variant has a visible rifle grip and trigger, but has the blade and blast nozzle on opposite ends of the shaft, a design many living beings consider impractical and unsafe. Either way, some suspect that these design choices were made to inconvenience anyone who would think of stealing their weapons.
