Sentinels

Sentinels were originally the automated keepers of The Ark. After The Echanai Rebellion, a shift of loyalty split the Sentinels between the Gods and the Echanai Overlord. The Sentinels of The Order served the Gods in the struggle for control and waged bloody battles across countless Echanai galaxies during the Rebellion. The Sentinels of The Ark were loyalists and stayed out the conflict all together to remain aboard the Ark and to continue the Overlord's version of Guidance Initiative.

The Sentinels are a result of The Echanai Rebellion and the activation of the Ark. There are two types of Warden

Sentinels of The Order
Sentinels of The Order serve the Gods. They were once deployed Sentinels of the Ark that were repurposed and reprogrammed by other Sentinels of The Order. They are in constant search of The Ark, to destroy it once and for all, as is the wish of the  Order of The Gods. They command large fleets of ex-Ark warships, and have become known to change their appearance. These Sentinels strictly follow a rank system with the most powerful, accomplished Sentinels being armed with powerful Dyro, and trigma potential. These Sentinels appear to have a heightened form of their original AI capabilities. Though they are closer to actual self awareness, they are still without free will.

Sentinels of The Ark
Sentinels of The Ark were made by the Echanai to continue the Ark program. They were created to preserve the life within the ark as well as the genetic information recorded within it's databanks. They also oversee the Guidance Initiative, serving as judges of entire races. The Sentinels of The Ark have been equipped with powerful weapons to eliminate virtually any threat, natural or malicious, to the ark. All of their minds are programmed in sync with each other, but are built with a severing failsafe, should corruption of the mind attempt travel to another warden
