The Fifth Council are augmented cybernetic humans originating from Saturn and its numerous moons who have embraced the amalgamation of human and technology in an effort to create the perfect hybrid.
Many Fifth Council members see this as a natural evolution of humankind and see no boundaries to the level of integration that can exist. The Fifth Council is looking to gain control over the Aleph using mind control to locate the so-called Protectors, High Priests who have knowledge of the original tech from the ancient time including Aleph fusion drives and weapons of tremendous power.
