Hydran Keepership

The Hydran Keepership was an elite organization of the Hydran Kingdom, who was described as a mixture of zoo curators and Tal Prai'ex.

Of the millions of religious cults of Hydra, some of the most prominent worship the Star–Beasts, spacefaring creatures that have been called "space monsters" by some. To allow Hydrans to more effectively worship these creatures, the Hydrans have built huge force field enclosures called Preserves to contain the Star–Beasts.

The Keepership was an order of starship captains dedicated to preserving the Star–Beasts and protecting the Star–Beast cults. They maintained the preserves, capture young Star–Beasts, and make certain they were held in livable conditions. Although the Keepership was not a particularly politically important order, their bravery was unquestioned and has earned them a place of in Hydran society. ( video game: )
