"Long ago, the Es’Teq were a theocratic order that ruled a great empire. That time has now come, CORE has fallen and it is time for a new Order to take control, and the Es’Teq are awakening to ensure that it is they who will triumph. The ensuing civil war rent the galaxy, and the surviving Es’Teq retreated into underground stasis tombs to await a time when the Age of Machines would inevitably end and they could practice their faith once more. The rise of conscious AIs led to a schism however, with many believing that the creation of a machine soul was an unforgivable heresy. The core tenet of their faith was that life should never be lost, that the spark at the heart of every individual should be captured and stored for eternity, that none should ever truly die.


Long ago, the Es’Teq were a theocratic order that ruled a great empire. Let us fill you with vitality from lost generations. Full and bright in one breath, then gone with the next. Feel it struggling to cling to the fragile constructs of flesh.
