[Prince Charon]

How many different groups of Preservers have there been?

Were the Preservers members of a single species, or part of an alliance, or is 'Preserver' perhaps a name that applies to several groups, possibly with different motivations and levels of technology? Were some of the later Preservers descended from beings taken from Earth in earlier times? With the very long time span involved (3 million years!), the Preservers being a single group seems a bit less plausible.

Please include the number when you vote.

1. A single species and group, the whole way through.

2. The same alliance, with multiple species involved, but without any uplifted races.

3. The same alliance, with multiple species involved, including uplifted races.

4. A few different groups over time, less than ten.

5. Between ten and a hundred different groups, possibly overlapping.

6. Between a hundred and a thousand different groups, possibly overlapping.

7. More than a thousand different groups, possibly overlapping.


EDIT: OK, the consensus is 'a single, multi-species alliance of time travelers, that does not include uplifted races.'
