Most of the caretaker's duties, I suspect, involve the crystal fragments once the teams return from the realms. That means checking they're all there, giving them a good clean, organizing all the pieces, and then painstakingly putting them back.

It's a continuous cycle of resource extraction, all transported back to Selenus—the world we consider our origin—simply to sustain its existence.

Truth be told, I've picked up whispers from quite a few folks who are fed up with it all, wishing they could just live peacefully with the land instead.

We have truly ruined this world, so greedy, so destructive. A century, that's all it took to strip a vibrant, living planet bare. And it’s not just this one. Our people have a recurring pattern: we land on a new world, exploit its resources, activate the Nexus for realm travel, and leave.
