The Survivors originated as a collection of people who were the descendants of the Queen of Ranroon's honor guard. These people lived on the planet Dellalt, where they upheld the legacy of the Guardian Corps serving Xim the Despot. They lived within a secluded stronghold nestled in the mountains, and as time passed, over a period of twenty-five millennia, they suffered from extreme inbreeding. The Survivors employed hypno-imprinting to indoctrinate their offspring, ensuring their unwavering allegiance and the preservation of technological knowledge they scarcely comprehended. They clung to the hope of being saved by a resurrected High Command of Xim, and they established a cult that promoted the idea that sentient beings offered as sacrifices would strengthen their call for help. The Survivors' most privileged members were aware that the cult was a fabrication; they integrated themselves into Dellaltian society, covertly protecting the location of Xim's hidden treasure chambers.
