The Elder is another advanced alien being. Encounters by this seeming singular cybernetic hybrid controls a seeming fleet or at the least many series of unmanned attack drones, dreadnoughts, destroyers and cruisers worked on by cybernetic organic hybrids.

Encounters by the Elder are recorded by the USS Crusader on first contact and tech exchange between the Federation and the Flea'tan Alliance. The first contact and tech exchange went well between the two powers. During this time the ship's CMO Zalaya Torcalo for some reason began having nightmares and visions foretelling of destruction and death by Elder forces the exact source of these was unknown but she found that The Elder millions of years in hte past was cast out from the Andromeda galaxy by Ancient forces and his followers who perished along the way from advacned age he arrived alone prolonging his life via cybernetics and cyro freezing.

Arriving into the areas thousands of years in the psat where the Flea'tan Alliance would later be three races were merged into a hybrid slave race via the Elder and seen as the primitive Flea'tan's god. Eventually though his advancements backfired and the slave race overcame his forces and his powers were lost to the passage of time

Zalaya Torcalo saw all this in her dreams which seemed ot have the message of self sacrifice built into them indicating that at some future time she or someone else would need to die to save millions of others.

After these dreams had been proven to be real not just illusions of the CMO's mind a Flea'tan colonly went dark and four flea'tan cruisers and the Crusader were sent to investigate. There they encountered the Elder's head dreadnought a massive ship that dwarfed anything yet before encountered by the Federation, The unmanned drones though weakly shielded were so numerous they overpowered the Crusader and heavily damaged her and the Flea'tan cruisers utterly.

When communications was finally established between the Elder the bridge crew were exposed to what was later called a 'fear ray' where their greatest fears became overpowering and they ran from their posts, stepping to the call of command the young fresh from the Academy Ensign Brando Corleone took command of the ship with a handful of other NE's finding a way to block the 'fear ray' temporarily by rotating shield frequencies opposed to those that the ray itself used.

In the chaos of battle a boarding party of Elder cyborg mechs were fought off by Captain Collin Prel'noth (David Wonderly's PC) in the ensuing fight the captain sacrificed himself to save the Flea'tan queen and her party by venting the shuttle bay with himself inside it falling to his death in space and a planets atmosphere which was shown that Elder drones and possibly ships reacted badly to heavy gravity wells

Like the Ancients it would seem the Elder posses a form of time travel using a chroniton based drive core and other advanced technology and weapons. Again like hte Ancients the Elder's forces are deadly and hateful towards the Federation for some unknown reason and contact with the USS Merrimack 300 million years in the past in the Andromeda Galaxy according to Zalaya's dreams
