Craftsmen

[Mech Technology, Organizations]

There is no more mysterious, powerful and influential organization in the galaxy than the Craftsmen.
Apart from the important role they play for the safety of our galaxy and their formidable Mechs, equipment and weapons they are capable of producing in their secret facilities, little is known about them. Their location is maintained in the most rigorous of secrets, beyond the galaxy's borders, and they move their shipments and personnel through seldom-used or encoded gateways with unique niode matrices.

Their influence has grown in so many directions that there are those who call them "The powers that be" and "The developers".

These are some of their many roles:
Manufacturers

As one of the most prestigious manufacturers, they produce the highly coveted King of the Mountain trophies: the Nephilax class, the Vizi and the Zadok that they distribute among the respective champions of the tournaments that they themselves have organized from their inception.
Influential Lobby

No one can gauge their political influence, but it is known that outside the Great Powers, there is no organization to shade them.

In the past they favored the creation of a Galactic Senate, with voice and vote in parity with the three Great Powers of the galaxy.

They exert their influence over the mercenary clans like a touchstone, becoming the saviours to the galaxy in numerous occasions.
Military Advisers

Throughout the history of the Galaxy, they have played a discreet but valuable role as military advisers against the endless dangers that beset our galaxy.

Mech Games Sponsors

They have sponsored and organized with great regularity the Great Games and Mech Tournaments (Circuits, KotM, Faction, Clan and Squad Wars), as well as other extraordinary events (Mechalympix and the Metaverse campaign), which serve to channel the incredible potential of the numerous mercenary clans for more constructive purposes, while keeping them well-trained and ready to enter into actual combat.
