The Old Ones

During the Dark Time, Eridon was ruled by the Old Ones or Masters; fierce, but highly advanced reptilian beings. They managed to defeat a psionovore Colony, resulting in the release of Lothar SoulEater, and developed a device for use in case the void vampires returned, called the Chronosphere.Fleeing Earth's second psionovore invasion, General Cassidy and the SPACE team travel back in time to this bleak period of Eridon's history in search of the Chronosphere. They believe this mysterious device will help them with their own fight, but locating it will not be easy.Here the Masters have enslaved the Li Kari people and keep them mind-blind and naked. The Li Kari are forced to perform the lowliest of duties and often serve as food, entertainment and sacrifices.The travellers have never faced adversaries like these. The Old Ones wear mindwave enhancing collars to boost their power levels and their priests, the original Nightbringers, maintain numerous open gates to the unholy Pit of Dark Flame.In the travellers' period Necronis the Unmaker has been defeated and banished, but here, in the Dark Time, He is very much present, active and extremely hungry for souls.
