Immortal

(aka Immortals)

There are entities and life forms that enjoy very long life spans and some are considered to be immortal. If there are indeed any true Immortal beings is not clear as the very definition implies an infinite time span. However some scholars consider the Dark One a true immortal being as this Entity has existed before this Universe and this time begun and it could be postulated that he has survived the entropy of many “Universes” and thus is Immortal. If that claim is true or just the speculation of some Meta physicists and scholars of the mystic can only be decided if more scientific data on this matter can be collected and verified.

According to these same scholars : The Narth Supreme, The Voice of the Rule, Sojo the Goddess, Creation and Destruction are actual entities and experience similar life spans.

The term Immortal or Immortals however is generally used in Union Terms when talking about the 200 individuals picked by the Guardian to assist human kind in their ascent to the stars.

Some claim that the Immortals have lived out their purpose, as human kind (Terrans) are now a well respected and powerful member of the Union. Others believe they are a danger and seek nothing less than Terran domination over the Union and all the Universe. Since several of these Immortals are still openly active and some have official functions, these Objections were put forth before the United Stars Assembly by Richard Stahl himself, after he returned from his Exile. This motion led to the Immortal Control Act passed by the Assembly with overwhelming approval and a Vote of confidence in the Eternal Soldier. While there are voices who occasionally criticize the ongoing presence and involvement of the Immortals, there have been none asking for Richard Stahl to step down. Quite the opposite is true and every time he asks the Assembly to let him go, they beg him to stay.

Of course there are still other Immortals of the original 200 active or alive [1] but most of them are faded from public interest and only few can recall their names. Even the fact, that McElligott, the Admiral of the Fleet is one of them and at this post ever since the United Earth Congress convened for the first time in the late 21st century; it is mostly Officers and Navy Personnel who actually recall the fact that he is an Immortal. Others have never stood in the lime light or became known ; Such as : Cherubim, Phil Decker, Peter Baker, John McEnroe, Rex Schwartz etc.
