Alimbic Order of Elders

The Alimbic Elders were the eight leaders of the Alimbics, until Gorea attacked and they used the psionic energy of the Alimbics to transport him (her? it?) to the Infinity Void, by way of the Alimbic Cannon. This procedure left the remainders of their spirits in the Octoliths, which they left in the Stronghold Voids, under the guard of the cybernetic Cretaphids and Slenches, as well as laser turrets, Psycho Bits, and Guardians. They also made the Voids so that the destruction of the Slenches and Cretaphids would activate security systems that automatically killed Samus after a few minutes, if she did not quickly leave the  planet.
