Xenowardens

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.

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.
