Alimbic Order of Elders

The Alimbic Order of Elders (sometimes known simply as the Alimbic Order), mentioned in Metroid Prime Hunters, were the eight leaders of the Alimbics, founded by General Almiiak, until Gorea attacked and they used the psionic energy of the Alimbic species to transport 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 Alimbic Turrets, Psycho Bits, and Guardians. They also created security systems in the Stronghold Voids that will trigger if Samus Aran successfully destroys a Cretaphid or Slench and attempts to leave, and a countdown will activate, automatically killing Samus after a few minutes if she does not quickly leave the space station or planet.
