Absolute Design

The , also known as the Tenebrae Initiative, is a plot concocted by the Order of the Tenebrae that has been in the making for over two millennium. The ultimate goal of the Design is the eradication of the Deian Order, the dissolution of the Republic, and instill a Tenebrae-ruled government. The Tenebrae desired to achieve this by two means: 1) by bringing forth the creation of an Ancient Tenebrae by means of fusing 24 souls of pure darkness into one and 2) using that godlike power to summon and consequently open the Door to Darkness, which would encompass all the galaxy in darkness and enslave all within under their rule for eternity. It is revealed by Kairos that there was a secret third reason behind their plan: to gain the power to extinguish the line between life and death and thereby remove the possibility of death.

The plan was devised and initiated by the founder of the Tenebrae, Zwarst Teras, and carried out by all the successors of his hierarchy. It was, in partial, fulfilled and achieved by the Supreme Chancellor and former Supreme Lord of Darkness, Zwarst Achilles.
