The Prophets rule the Covenant and are the top of the social status. They preach that a giant of fire once smote an ancient evil, allowing light to prevail across the Universe.
Their goal is to find this power and ascend to godhood with their followers.

History[]
A once devastated race, it was by salvaging an alien vessel that they managed to escape their doomed homeworld. On that ship, they found the information that became the basis for their religion. Eventually meeting other races, they formed a religious alliance with the goal of uncovering this power, which became the covenant.
Their progressed however, was slowed by the new empire the Alliance who refused to join them as servants. The Prophets have tried to bribe, bully and threaten the Alliance, but they refuse, leading to a war, that eventually devolved into a cold war.
