All Creatures in "Xenowardens"

Xenowardens

Rather than building their starships in foundries, Xenowardens grow living vessels bioengineered to bond with a crew and perform a particular function for the organization. Most Xenowarden creations are bred for peace, but all are armed and battle-ready for when the time comes to make war against the enemies of nature.

Unified Conservatory

Xenowarden starships are grown by the Unified Conservatory (UC), an eco-friendly corporation sponsored by the faction. Their living ships are grown in orbital nurseries across the Pact Worlds, using a combination of technology and magic to create advanced combat and exploration vessels from living material. UC ships are instantly recognizable because of the webwork of roots, moss, and organelles that form their hulls.

Primal Bonds

A mystic cares for the mental and physical well-being of every living starship grown by the UC. The mystic bonds with a fledgling vessel for years before the pair can be considered space-worthy. While deployed, the mystic is always stationed on board as a permanent part of that starship's crew. Most of the time, a UC starship's handler is the only crew member who can command or soothe their behemoth companion in times of danger.
