9th Generation
The 9th Generation refers to the corresponding generation of the Order on Earth-2619. Also referred to as the Great Catastrophe by the Sapientia, its existence is rarely discussed and its members are largely unknown to Agents of succeeding generations.
The Beginning of the End
The Alpha of the 9th Generation learned that the Carrion Virus had been manufactured by the Consortium's progenitor, BioGen Amalgamate. Not only this, but that Compound 36 was named after the 36th permutation of this virus. Recognizing that the Consortium was responsible for the largest death toll in the annals of human history, he began to gather the remaining Ranks of the Order to inform them of what he learned. It was then they had all learned the truth: The "Compatibility Test" was nothing more than a projected outcome of a human's resistance or susceptibility to the virus. If a compatibility score was too high, a candidate would likely be taken over by the Compound, which would result in becoming an Aberration prematurely. If a compatibility score was too low, it meant that the candidate's immune system would destroy the virus before it could begin rewriting DNA and ultimately provide the Compound's enhancements.
Jett de la Cruz, the Consortium's Operator during that time, had attempted to warn the Sapientia of what the Alpha had learned but not before he was able to kill her in the midst of transmitting the message. Knowing that their time was limited, the Alpha informed them of their options: Follow him and avenge the deaths the Consortium had worked so diligently to cover up or remain hidden from the Consortium that would surely send Hunting Parties to destroy any rogue Agents left behind. Some followed the Alpha, others created new identities for themselves on Earth-2619 as well as on other worlds.

The King's Republic
Founded by Judas Cross upon learning of the Consortium's dark history, the King's Republic serves to chip away at the Consortium and its hold over Earth-2619. Having been made aware of the existence of the Global Security Initiative while still an Agent, Judas quickly aligned the group to GSI's cause; an alliance that has made both groups stronger in the process.
It was through this alliance that GSI learned of the Coristanti's vulnerability to the Order's Orichalcum weaponry.
