Void Singers

Overview

The Void Singers are an ancient alien collective that has inhabited the quantum layer for millions of years. They are the first non-human intelligence encountered by humanity. Unlike the aggressive expansion of younger species, the Void Singers focus on the preservation of history and the maintenance of the quantum balance.

Leadership

The collective is led by the Chorus of Ages, a group of elder consciousnesses that have shed their physical forms to exist entirely within the quantum layer. Their decisions are harmonized through resonance, reflecting the collective will of their species.

Territory

Their primary influence is centered around the Nebula Ruins in the Orion Nebula, though their "songs" can be heard throughout the Quantum Highways.

Resources

The Void Singers possess unparalleled knowledge of ancient consciousness and utilize resonance-based technology that can manipulate the quantum layer without the need for physical interfaces.

Relations

• Lyric: A rare human apprentice who has achieved a deep harmonic resonance with the Singers' song.
• Human Collective: Initially viewed as dangerous upstarts, humans are now seen as necessary allies in the face of The Fading.
• Quantum Custodians: Long-time partners in maintaining the stability of the quantum layer.

Design Notes

The Void Singers provide the player with historical context and advanced consciousness techniques. Their quests often involve "tuning" quantum frequencies or recovering lost memories from the ruins.
