Caretakers

Kira made these highly intelligent biomechanical creatures to care for Unity. It was speculated that they communicate through some sort of hive mind. They were responsible for general maintenance and minor construction on the station.

Idealis/Seed

The Idealis is the Wranaui (Jelly) name for the Seed, which Kira named the Soft Blade. It was made by the Old Ones to spark life in the vastness of space. Its self-organizing genetic material adapted to the physiology of its host. See Kira and Unity for more.

Old Ones

The Old Ones, or Vanished, were an ancient race responsible for making the Seed (Idealis/Soft Blade), the Great Beacons, and numerous other technological artifacts found throughout the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Humanoid, with two sets of arms, they stood about two meters tall. Evidence showed they predated every other known self-aware species. None were known to have survived. However, Kira—through the memories of the suit—glimpsed one of their leaders, the Highmost, who wielded terrifying powers. The Highmost led the ruling council known as the Heptarchy.

Seeker

The Old Ones created this skeletal creature to enforce their commands. It had the power to assume direct physical control over a living creature’s actions through injections of nanobots into their brain case. It was highly intelligent, highly dangerous, impervious to most weapons, and known to amass large armies of enslaved sentients.
