The Progenitors
are a highly advanced race of starfaring creatures, whose technological
sophistication is evident in the artifacts
and monoliths they
left behind on Planet. Research into these structures, or direct
contact with the Progenitors should they return, can
yield new technologies, weapons, and base facilities.
In recent millenia, the Progenitors have split into two warring camps:
the Manifold
Caretakers and the Manifold
Usurpers. These factions conflict over the uses of the Manifolds, which include
Planet. The Caretakers wish to leave
the Manifolds in their original, pristine state, while the Usurpers
wish to initiate and
control an Ascent to
Transcendence. If either faction is successful in their
quest, it most likely means an end to humanity's presence on Planet.
