As the Eliksni raced across the stars they became increasingly desperate and soon developed a dependence upon machines they created. This deep rooted reliance turned them to developing weapons for fighting, ships for flying and Servitors for surviving. Their cloaking technology was originally the toys of children, but soon developed into a tool of warfare, employed by notable groups such as the [[Silent Fang]]. Servitors processed matter and energy into Ether, a food once found in abundance on Riis, providing sustenance to the Eliksni. When consumed in higher quality, the Eliksni are filled with strength.

Their inherent need turned into worship of Servitors and later a new faith emerged among the Eliksni society. The status of [[Archon]]s grew as their roles shifted to the consecration of Servitors and carefully maintaining their plating. The Archons were celebrated as esteemed leaders and looked upon to provide hope to the depressed Eliksni through their words, teachings, and interpretations of their machine gods.
