Armed Archaeologists

Last updated 2025-12-14

The Armed Archaeologists is a school of the Intelligentsia Guild, their focus is galactic exploration and archaeology.[2]

Description

This is a school passionate about galactic exploration and archaeology. They are always heading to the most desolate planets and exploring the most dangerous ruins. Try to imagine a group of scholars armed to the teeth leading a dozen mercenaries out of an exploration vessel and crawling in and out of the crevices of ancient buildings that have been forgotten for countless Amber Eras. They would leave behind the few fools that accidentally triggered various traps as an offering. Upon reaching their destination, they would dig up valuable artifacts and ancient writing before calmly laying down explosives and opening a path made from total destruction. They would then happily board their ship and leave... Some say they look more to be mercenaries than scholars, but that's up to each person to interpret.

History

Past

Nothing is currently known about their original formation besides the Armed Archaeologists starting out with a 34.88% casualty. This was due to their barbaric nature being met with high resistance from natives of places they went to. To combat this, the Interastral Peace Corporation gave the group large quantities of basic protection gears which lowered the casualty rate by 9.72% on paper.[3]

At a point either before or during the Swarm Disaster, a Armed Archaeologist who had researched Lepismat was murdered, leaving a note containing all their findings.[4]

Sometime after the Swarm Disaster, the Armed Archaeologists were sent out to the Machine Empire which contained Intellitrons, beasts of the future, collective machines, and more inorganic life forms. However the Masked Fools had already infiltered the Machine Empire and used their influence to drive away the Armed Archaeologists.[5]

A group of Armed Archaeologists once arrived to investigate the galaxy hosting Izumo and Takamagahara, however they found nothing but Enigmata due to both planets being destroyed.[6]

Present

The Armed Archaeologists discovered Meteoric Bullets which with radioactive dating appeared to be from a time before humanity.[7]

Recently, a group of Armed Archaeologists dispatched to Hellem discovered a miniature galaxy in a cave located near the planet's southern tropical latitudes. The group were conducting demolition missions on certain mountain ranges when they discovered a curious facility in the shape of a container. They are currently trying to get in contact with the population of the galaxy.[8]

With help from Genius Society member Screwllum, the Armed Archaeologists lead by Allen Jones are planning to excavate the tomb of Rubert I. The tomb ranks as Category Omega ranking on the Potential Disaster Index and is said to "house the inventions inspired by the imagination of Rubert I." The Intelligentsia Guild hopes that with this mission more knowledge can be discovered on Rubert I, and that the universe may be better equipped for when he returns.[1]
