Grasshopper Corps
Both rooks become grasshoppers that leap over a piece to land behind it.
A grasshopper runs along queen lines but must hop over exactly one piece and stop right behind it. It is strongest on a crowded board and nearly useless on an empty one, so trading pieces quietly disarms it. Castling is off because the rooks are gone.

Stars set how often an augment shows up, not how strong it is. Rare ones swing the game, and that is the point.
