Through the use of magic rituals, technomantic experiments, or both, death is never the end. Although undead are mindless and easily controlled, others retain their intellects, memories, and personalities. They are now more commonly known as bone troopers due to their frequent association with the Corpse Fleet, a renegade starship navy of undead. While any race can become an undead, most undead are Elebrians due to a cataclysm that hit their homeworld of Eox, turning many of their inhabitants to necromancy.
