The Exalted are ex-Tri-Tachyon Corporation members who have grown to strongly dislike them over the years. Shortly after the Second AI War began, the forerunners of the Exalted took advantage of the chaos to flee the Core Worlds with a massive amount of ships, personnel and supplies. Long after the war ended, Tri-Tachyon Corporation was primarily occupied with rebuilding itself and assumed the mass amount of company property lost during their conflict with the Church and Hegemony was destroyed in the war, ensuring the Exalted's freedom and anonymity, allowing them to pursue their own goals.
The Exalted believe that advanced technology is the only hope to survive in the current political climate they find themselves in and have come to the conclusion that Tri-Tachyon's abuse of technology, the Galactic Church's ignorance and the Terran Hegemony's stubborn clingyness to a dead empire will be the end of humanity. Instead, these people choose to campaign against such beliefs. Within their short time in power, they have earned a reputation for being cruel and ruthless to any military officer unfortunate enough to be captured, but merciful to any innocents caught in between the crossfire of most battles.
