Key Lore

• Like Scions of Ogo, TechnoMages faced heavy losses during the Synthetic War. However, unlike Scions, TechnoMages gathered together in a closely guarded location, located for them by Prospectors, where they honed their TechnoMagiks and culture. It is unknown exactly how many TechnoMages there are currently in the Cosmos, but it is generally recognized that the numbers are small compared to all other factions, except for Prospectors.
• Because TechnoMage nanites are no different from Scions', many across the Cosmos may have nascent TechnoMage abilities. However, they are rarely expressed, and when they are, these proto-TechnoMages tend to have the potential to be extremely powerful. A sub-sect of TechnoMages called 'Seekers' dedicate their lives to travelling the Cosmos to identify these individuals and bring them back to the TechnoMages' home sector for training. However, because these individuals are highly valued, the Centopoly also hunts proto-TechnoMages. Many are never seen again once located and captured by Centopoly forces -- mainly the TriParte order.
• Some TechnoMages speak of the Prime, a mysterious entity -- it is unclear whether it is a TechnoMage, that guides their society, culture and even the actions of individual TechnoMages. Since TechnoMages are largely independent operators, it is unclear whether this 'Prime' is a real entity or a carefully constructed red herring.
• It is rumored that some TechnoMages are connected to, or operate on behalf of the Centopoly's AI leadership, the Covenant. However, most TechnoMages deny this, given how many TechnoMages profess to be neutral on Cosmos' politics and political strucures.
• TechnoMages are rarely seen in Centopoly space, but they are not banned like their Scion brethern. It is possible this has something to do with the relationship between some TechnoMages and the Covenant. Some even speculate that services Mages provide to the Covenant are in exchange for free travel through Centopoly space.
