The Illuminati

The Illuminati are a mysterious trans-dimensional organization undertaking a mission to halt the Grand Combat in its tracks and rescue the warriors held there, using the power of SCIENCE. And a lot of other things, actually.

Overview
The Illuminati were founded by a small group of intellectuals that, by various means, discovered the existence of alternate realities. In its infancy, the Illuminati was simply a "club" whose members met and discussed the goings on in their home universes, and conducted excursions through time and space alike.

With the advent of the Grand Combat, they have focused their efforts onto much more serious matters, like trying to save the meta-verse. With the need for additional manpower and expertise, the Illuminati's numbers have grown exponentiallly, and they have now acquired a large starship, the Cathedral Cosmos. The Illuminati's abilities to traverse time allow them to dip into past time-streams to acquire personnel and equipment, assuring that they have an expert in nearly any field, and no shortage of exotic weapons or technology.

Programs
The Illuminati are divided into Programs that each serve a specific purpose. They are:
 * Research and Development- The primary science division, tasked with studying all sorts of weapons and technologies, in order to repurpose them for the Illuminati's goals.
 * Engineering- A program tasked with keeping the Cathedral Cosmos systems running.
 * Requisition- A program that manages the flow of supplies to the organization, keeping massive warehouses full of oddities stocked.
 * Mobile Defense- A short-range space wing that operates mecha to defend the Cathedral Cosmos or to project the organization's firepower onto distant battlefields.
 * Navigation- Exactly what it says on the tin, the program in charge of guiding the Cathedral Cosmos through space.
 * Regulations- The Illuminati's police force, dedicated to maintaining order and hunting down traitors.
 * Personnel- A division that manage's the Illuminati's human (and non-human) resources, assigning members to tasks within the organization.
 * Trans-Dimensional Analysts- The Illuminati's most prestigious program are their legendary Trans-Dimensional Analysts. They are the Illuminati's eyes and ears in the field, deadly and efficient agents armed with the finest equipment available. They are known for their distinctive Scouters, a small device that can calculate an opponent's Power Level.
