Who are the Illuminati anyway? They have a strange resemblance to the Breen, a mysterious Star Trek race featured in the Last years of Deep Space Nine, who were rumored to prefer very cold planets.

The Illuminati is a race that I based upon a race of humans that attempted to take over the universe in a book by Harry Harrison, The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted.

The Breen were developed also from this same book. Since I could not find enough Breen looking ships, (A thing that I regret) I opted to make the Illuminati.

The name Illuminati (as well as the race portrait) came from the game Deus Ex.

Hope that answers your question.

Hey Atrocities nice job! Just wondering do you want to create a Species 8472 and Vulcan sets? Some of the stuff is already done on Warp's Nine site (ships/ai for the demo). Well, anyways, thanks for the hard work.

There's also a very strange set of books called "The Illuminatus Trilogy" by Robert Anton Wilson.

I think the Illuminati is sort of a super "secret society" that makes the Masons and Shriners look like college fraternities...

I also beleive that they are using the Illuminati name in the new Tomb Raider movie too.

hey Atrocities, let me get this straight. Are you saying that the Breen and this Illi... (doh! forgot how to spell it) are created by the same author? Sorry, just don't know much about what you are talking about.
