Angel (Lucifer Rising)


 * For the general concept of angels, refer to angel.

Angels are a type of advanced lifeforms that are found around the planet Lucifer. They are not to be mistaken with the Weeping Angels.

Biology
Angels look like shifting lights, something like auroras. They have very little solid mass and solid objects will simply pass through them. They can change the composition of both themselves and other objects.

Angels have a much more complex brain, with multiplex thinking instead of simply binary thought. Instead of a neuron just being on or off, Angels had brains which had several states of neurons. (NA: Lucifer Rising)

Culture
All of the Angels found were living around Lucifer, which they considered to be their Heaven. Angels feel the pull of Lucifer's core as they approach death and will head to the core. During the "funeral" of an Angel, they all travel to the zelanite seas of Lucifer to "dance". They will merge with the dying angel and form a conglomerate angel with the dying angel in the centre. This angel is converted into a unknown, stable, high-mass element and is pulled into the core. These dying angels were the source of the energy readings discovered by Earth. They were very protective of their Heaven and considered the rest of the universe to be Hell.

The Angels also worship black holes. Though they can control much of the universe, they have little power over black holes and believe that they contain their God. (NA: Lucifer Rising)

History
The Angels have existed for over 500 million to 1,000 million years. At this point in time, they set up the bases on Belial and Moloch and then changed their shape using the Mushroom Farm, a device in the centre of Belial which can modify Morphic fields.


 * The original forms of the Angels is unknown.

Around 2157, Humans came to Lucifer, searching for a new source of fuel. They attempted to communicate with the Angels, but even their most advanced communication technology couldn't communicate with them. This was because the angels considered them to be demons. After a year, they had made no success. When Paula Engado's spacesuit malfunctioned during an attempt to communicate with the Angels, she happened to merge with a dying Angel. When Miles Engado went in search of her, the Angels turned his medicine wheel into the high-mass elements they were searching for.

After a hostile takeover of the base by IMC, they tried using controlled black holes, which the Angels worshipped, to suck up the atmosphere of Lucifer. They planned to mine the core for these high-mass elements, not knowing they were actually dead Angels. The Angels expelled IMC from their home and placed an impenetrable barrier around the system. The survivors of the Human base were allowed to leave before the barrier was put up, taking with them the medicine wheel to help power the Earth. (NA: Lucifer Rising)


 * The Doctor believes the Angels may have manoeuvred IMC into releasing this black hole for them, in order to complete their Heaven.
