Fiction:Unified Alliance of Enlightenment/Olympians/Scarab Novae

"Knowledge is power. But power can corrupt. We must careful."

The Scarab Novae are a chapter known for being entirely composed of essence users. This is do to most of their members being Aranthrone a species that is half element. They are known to have a psysically-reactive scarab-shaped fire opal placed upon the middle of their chest-armor. This spirit-opal is able to absorb the spirit (or what counts as it) of the dead Olympian, and in turn can be put into the core of a verhicle or spaceship so that the Olympians' spirit can pilot it, or can turn into a living, and extremely durale opal-like scarab that are used by them to swarm their foes and fight alongside them. The Scarab Novae use Librarian Contemptor Walkers far more than most chapters, so they can continue to use their powers even after being put into the walker.

Harnessed
The Scarab Novae are experts when it comes to the forces the Darklings employ, so much so they were able to figure out how to trap these creatures inside mechanical hosts and bind them to their will. Apep Rubrical would later(when he turned traitor)find away to bind such enties into living hosts as incubators. The poor beings being granted the powers of the "demon" trapped inside them, but forced to serve the Darklings and waiting until the demon eventually grows into a more powerful form and rips it's way free from the host. The Scarab Novae are under strict order to free any living Harnessed they find, exorcise or further contain the demon within, and find them a safe place to live.

Culture
Before the burning the Scarab Novae were more like scholars and scientists with guns rather than actual warriors. They believed in seeking a preserving knowledge and understanding the forces they worked with and fought against. They would spend the entire time they were off the battle field studying, experimenting, and on archeological digs discovering new knowledge and enhancing their understanding hoping to reach the panicle of enlightenment and comprehension of the universe and the forces at work in it. This all changed with the betrayal of Apep Rubrical and the burning of their homeworld. Now the Scarab Novae are quit the opposite believing the knowledge, while powerful, it dangerous and that some knowledge should be forbidden, some secrets unspoken, and many thing best left buried and forgotten about. Now they seek to contain a prevent such knowledge from escaping and causing further damage. The Scarab Novae currently are spread out across many other Olympian Chapters acting as advisors and both the scientific and super natural. The Scarab Novae have a codex of their own which dictates what kind of knowledge is same and what is far to dangerous to let anyone wield, when such knowledge is found the Scarab Novae must do their best to either destroy or hide away the knowledge, not letting anything stop them. Even before the burning the Scarab Novae held onto the Aranthrone belief that all gods are bastards and thus regarded everything under a purely scientific lens instead of a religious or superstitious one.
