The Scholars of the Reliquary are the members of the Order of the Reliquary. Their primary religious function is to unlock the meanings found within the ancient artifacts that have been left behind by the Aowa. They are highly trained, being similar in training to Engineers, but only just so. They are the religious members who are in direct contact with the devices and artifacts that are recovered. They often disassemble them in order to better understand their function, purpose and meaning. As such, this order is the most technically adept of all the orders.

In the great time of darkness, they alone lit the perpetual night to guide the faithful to the sacred places, where they slept deep within the womb of the world. It is the reminder of the death-time, when all the world was the realm of the bomkor, as they ravaged the world with the tainted spirits of nature. It was the beacons that kept us alive, that protected us from the darkness. The Scholars of the Reliquary are the guardian of the sacred light, we tend it, and see that it's fire never dims. For it is said that another dark time will befall us, when Solyon the destroyer returns to bring death and destruction to our world. And once again, it will be the sacred lights that will guide us to our salvation deep within the arms of our mother world.|Scholar of the Reliquary}}</small></font>

Among their many tasks, the Scholars of the Reliquary safeguard and tend to the maintenance of the Sacred Lights. They believe that the Sacred Lights are beacons left by the Aowa used to guide the survivors of some dark times to underground safe havens. They also believe that someone called [[Solyon|Solyon the Destroyer]] will plague the world again, and that it will be their task to display the beacons once again to save the survivors of the world from complete destruction.  It was later learned that Solyon was the Asrai name for the [[Rogue Planet]] that was discovered by the [[USS Rosenante]] prior to their discovery of [[Asrai Prime]]. 

The Reliquary told the story of the Sacred light to [[Ben Soma]] and [[Mike Rosenbauer]] during their visit to one of the relics of the Sacred Light located in a shrine in [[Celdebrai City]].
