<p data-rte-fromparser="true">The origin of the Sphere is unclear but it is believed that the Sphere was created by <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Keepers%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Keepers%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BKeepers%7CThe%20Keepers%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="61196-1314277219592abd1930cb9" href="/wiki/Keepers" title="Keepers" class="mw-redirect">The Keepers</a>. Its main goal is to maintain itself. It travels the galaxy searching for various alien races to maintain it. It also uses these races as food to provide much needed extra energy to sustain the Sphere and its inhabitants. While Keepers seems to be the creators of Sphere, they have little control over it and act more like passengers, than actual authority on the Sphere. 
</p>
<h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Inhabitants</h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">The Sphere is controlled and maintained by the many diverse and alien creatures living inside, some of which appear to be sentient and others seem to be no more than animals. Many of the Sphere's inhabitants are aggresive and warlike, though it also contains populations of a variety of passive alien species. There is even a group of humans living here in secret, fighting against the hostile forces of the Sphere.
