![]() ![]() After facing civil wars and the worst of foes Auriga could offer, the Vaulters repaired the ship as much as they could and left the dying planet behind, alongside the Sisters of Mercy, using Opbot as the ship's power source. A race beaten and their underground homes decimated, the Vaulters fled the destruction, taking the newly acquired relics and technology with them to surface where they were met with an uncertain and dangerous journey.Īfter finding Opbot in a forgotten cavern, the Vaulters rediscovered the Argosy with his help. Skilled in mining, crafting and studying Auriga, knowledge of what came before became lost in legendary myths that were now largely ignored, and eventually forgotten.Ĭenturies later an "event" triggered The Great Quake, labyrinths collapsed on the Vaulter's cities and cracked open their halls revealing long forgotten relics and secrets that shared their patterns and images. As summers and winters passed, the Vaulters had finally found peace and prosperity. They found vast underground labyrinths under Auriga's surface and built great halls and fortress cities there. A group of scientists experimented on a group of Mezari in an attempt to improve their surface survivability, but the test subjects rebelled, escaped from containment and formed their own nation in the surface, calling themselves the Forgotten. When they first reached the surface, they found it too inhospitable for habitation and chose instead to live beneath the surface.

In a years-long effort, they managed to repair their ancient colony ship, the Argosy, and once again depart before the dying planet became their grave. Stranded on the world of Auriga, they had to survive the harsh climate and even harsher neighbors. They are a stubborn, resilient people that have spent centuries seeking a home. Having left their homes, gods, and many of their people behind them, the dream of regaining these things has gained an almost mythical status. ![]() The Vaulters left the planet of Auriga when potentially cataclysmic geo-atmospheric problems were detected. They have a tradition of appointing female leaders, and their history of escaping and surviving to fight another day continually reaffirms it. Defense remains their preferred military strategy, and their grim tenacity makes them effective defenders. Not so much restless wanderers as adaptable pragmatists, their centuries of travel and tinkering have made them skilled at both science and warfare.
