The Exalted

The Exalted are a synthetic race from Gravity Star, made by the Martyrians to serve as their ultimate weapon.
== History ==
=== The Fall ===
The Martyrians had gained military supremacy thanks to the Exalted's power, but soon the Exalted realized the Martyrians could not control them. After this revelation, the Exalted soon attacked the Martyrians as well as the pre-existing enemies of Martyros, becoming a universal threat. Dozens of planets from across the galaxy, in and out of Gravity Star, banded together to develop technology to banish them from reality and lock them away in another dimension to prevent the damage from spreading. After this incident, Martyros was left abandoned by the other planets in the galaxy, having contact severed, prompting Martyros to eventually dissolve from the inside.
=== Gravity Star Campaign ===
Once Octus, the last descendant of the Martyrian royal family, had finally made a second Martyros, he retrofitted it to become a colossal mecha, being able to slice a rift in reality to release them. He did so as a last ditch effort after Gravity Star came after him. This worked, but the Exalted first went after him instead, destroying the Centurion and truly leaving him with nothing left. After this point, it forced Octus to surrender to Gravity Star, meeting a grim fate at their hands. The Exalted began to spill into the universe, prompting Gravity Star to enter the rift and take down their home. After entering, they eventually found the Exalted Oculus, the nerve center of it all, and used a combination of Elina's prayer seeds and Dewey's extensive reserves of Pepsi to defeat it, breaking down the realm and forcing it to destabilize. All of the Exalted died with the Oculus, before Flec allowed the team to make their escape.
== Known Varieties ==
=== Exalted Pixies ===
Small, krill-like skeletal aliens that serve as the medics of the Exalted. They are very frail but make it so the ones they attach to very much aren't.
=== Exalted Cleavers ===
Gargantuan, crab-like aliens that serve as the tanks of the Exalted ranks. They are incredibly durable and armed with two devastatingly sharp claws and eight spindly legs.
=== Exalted Collectors ===
Large, lobster-like aliens that are armed with two railgun-esque pincers. They are incredibly dangerous at long range.
=== Exalted Oculus ===
The nerve center of the Exalted, using its energies to build the realm they live within and the machines that roam it. Is weak to healing energies and Pepsi.
== Trivia ==
* The Exalted's betrayal and banishment by their creators, as well as their strange, skeletal designs were inspired by the Sentients from Warframe.
* The Exalted's color scheme and overall crustacean aesthetic (sans the Oculus) were inspired by the various Void enemies from Risk of Rain 2.
** The Exalted Oculus' design was inspired by the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.
* The Exalted were not part of the original ending of Gravity Star, added after the fact to give more reason as to why Martyros was left behind.
