In the last days of a galaxy torn apart by war and famine, the Council of Granbor met and decided to break their most sacred law.  They would utilize the Bardduhpop Device to send a colony ship to the past in an attempt to stop the Great War that would eventually destroy the galaxy.  They knew that their decision to become the saviors of the galaxy would forever change the course of history, but would it be for the better?

Using massive amounts of Dust, the Saviors can manipulate time to materialize physical objects from their alternate future

• System Improvements - The Council build system improvements they have not unlocked.  These may only be produced using Dust, with the cost being determined based on their normal cost and how far in the future the tech lies. 
• The entire galaxy is visible at the begining of the game.
