The Architects are a secretive group of Triune's followers whose efforts to improve Drift travel led to the Drift Crash in 322 AG.

History

The Architects travelled to numerous planets and studied how the Signal manifested to different cultures. In comparing data sets, they found and pieced together hidden, hitherto-unnoticed data fragments and fossil code, which they saw as Triune's instructions to improve the Drift. After secretly completing their program, they smuggled it to Alluvion and installed the update in the Nexus, Triune's greatest temple, kickstarting the Drift Crash.

In the aftermath of the Crash, the Architects have advocated for focusing on repairing the damage and reestablishing contact with Triune, considering 'coddling' panicking civilisations to be a waste of time and effort.

Goal

The Architects are one of the groups within Triune's church who believe that their deity has always intended for mortals to improve Drift travel. They did not seek to eke out more and more efficiency from Drift engines, instead preferring to study the Signal itself. Any restoration of the Drift is seen as a validation of their point of view.
