Aurelion Phoenix
A Phoenix is born to the Aurelion aristocracy and fitted at adulthood with an exoskeleton. The suit draws a thread of the Rift through a captive star-core, and the light it gives off burns through a hull. A Phoenix needs no ship to cross open space. The caste is small, and its members have the Ascendant's ear.
