In a universe where combatants are running low, Minion Robotics positioned itself to become the “premier provider of custom-built – and cost effective – war machines for every need in the modern military campaign.” They have become the dominant, if not monopolistic, crafter of death-dealing droids, ships, and weapons. The LLC are comprised of dozens of guilds and corporations - with the most notable of these being Minion Robotics. Their ingenuity is only surpassed by their desire to turn a profit. They are makers, and bankers, and entertainers, and traders, and sellers, and inventors, and war profiteers. They are the money and manufacturing arm of …well, everything that is left. The LLC (Last Light Consortium) are the aristocratic merchant class of the galaxy at the end of the universe. As the official motto of the Jennerit Empire states: “Any Deed. If the Jennerit need to manipulate the laws of the universe in the process, so be it. Anything they deem imperfect must be fixed or destroyed. The Thralls are altered beasts who have been given a modicum of intelligence and are widely employed as a slave race for labor and as grunt warriors. Even their own society has evolved into caste-based layers with the genetically-altered Sustained at the top, non-Sustained Jennerit just below them, and everything and everyone else below. The Jennerit despise any race who express flaws and inefficiencies (which are, in fact, most other races).


In their bid to master life, members of the Jennerit must choose how they will use their power: Will they side with Rendain to bring the end of the universe? Or will they fight with the Battleborn to save the last star? To that end, the Jennerit harness dark energies of the universe to twist the natural order of things as they see fit. They strive for perfection and they are not about to let something like mortality stand in their way. The Varelsi, in many ways, are the epitome of everything the Eldrid hate, and the Eldrid have waged war against the dark mysterious beings for thousands of years. The Eldrid despise any being or thing which corrupts or distorts the core rules and laws of the universe. They fiercely oppose anything that would disrupt that order, up to and including other factions’ efforts to save (or destroy) Solus. The Eldrid are chiefly concerned with maintaining the natural order of the universe – the birth and death of stars, the probabilistic rise of life and complexity, and yes, even entropy. Spreading out across the universe, the Eldrid centered their seat of power on the planet, Codex, the home to massive data troves – a planet-spanning repository of all the knowledge from around the universe, encoded into the very DNA structure of the planet’s massive eliim trees. The Eldrid value the natural universe and spend great deals of time – and resources – observing, preserving, and cataloging all that they find. When the Varelsi or Jennerit start bending the rules of space-time though, the Eldrid are anything but peaceful. Compelled to understand, catalogue, and preserve the natural order of things, they would be happy to be left alone and quietly conduct their observation-based research. Their knowledge archives are the oldest in the universe.
