{Backstory=

1. Expansion and Rise of the Orokin Empire

· Context: Humanity, led by the Orokin, expands throughout the Origin system. They discover the Void and develop advanced technology, such as Solar Rails, for faster-than-light travel. · Key Event: The Orokin Empire establishes itself as the ruling class, with a strict class system and seven Emperors.

2. The Zariman Ten-Zero Incident

· What Happened: A Zariman-class colony ship (the Ten-Zero) attempts a Void jump to the Tau system. The jump fails, and the ship disappears. · Rediscovery: Years later, the ship reappears. The adult crew has perished, and the only survivors are children, who have developed volatile and dangerous abilities due to prolonged exposure to the Void.

3. Margulis and the Zariman's Children

· Margulis's Involvement: Orokin Executor Ballas assigns his lover, Archmedian Margulis, to study and care for the surviving children. · Key Actions: · Motherly Care: Margulis acts as a foster mother to the children, whom the Orokin fear and seek to destroy. She defends them before the Orokin Council. · Transference Development: Margulis leads "Transference Therapy," a process to help the children control their powers. Her work would lay the groundwork for Warframe control. · Silvana's Recruitment: Margulis recruits the Infestation's top biologist, Silvana, to assist with the project. Over time, the therapeutic project is diverted to create weapons of war (Warframes), something Margulis opposes.

4. The Old War and the Creation of the Warframes

Background: The Sentients, created by the Orokin to terraform Tau, rebel against their creators. The Orokin, desperate, seek new weapons. Creation of the Warframes: Using Margulis's research on Transference, the Orokin create the Warframes as biological weapons and discover that the Tenno (the children of the Zariman) are the only ones who can control them using this technique.

5. The Execution of Margulis

Cause: Margulis is put on trial by the Council of Seven (to which Ballas belongs) for the crime of "apostasy." She steadfastly refuses to denounce or abandon the Tenno children, disobeying Orokin law.}
