Fanatical followers of Xant. The average Redeemer has no name, only a designation of position within the Redeemer hierarchy. The Overlord rules the Redeemers, and the Prime one is his second in command. They choose a planet for 'redemption' and forcibly convert the populous to their faith. Opposition is overcome either through their large battle fleet of ships or the engineered virus in the blood of their high priests. Ever since their deity Xant departed the Redeemers a century ago, the Redeemers have endeavored to bring about his return by living in the opposite way that his teachings dictated in order to attempt to attract him back to show them once again the true light. The Overlord decrees that the appearance of the Great Bird of the Galaxy is the first signal as to Xant's return (NF novel: Martyr). One of the few who joined their faith willingly are the Dogs of War(NF novel: The Quiet Place). A rather short people, but the overlord is taller than most. Utilize 'words of power' that are very ancient words which can cause pain or even death (NF novels: Dark Allies).
Ships
Their average battleship is quite a bit larger than a federation Ambassador class starship (NF novel: Martyr) . Some smaller ships are also used (NF novel: The Quiet Place).
Virus
Contained in the body of all their high priests is a deadly virus. Released by the death of the priest, the virus eliminates the population and self-destructs within twenty four hours. The Alphans were a victim of this virus (NF novel: Martyr) .
