Deka's Lotuscraft Crew

The Lotuscraft Crew is a group of people that rogue Tennen Deka Price amassed during his travels to stop the Sentinels from overtaking the humans on Earth. The crew currently operates intergalactically and takes on several contracts across space in an attempt to obtain the resources for Deka to return to his version of Earth in the Origin System.

In the year 8267, Tennen Deka Price defects from his clan and renounces his Tennen nature, leaving his brethren to pursue the Sentinels in their journey to the past to eliminate the humans who would one day be the founders of the Tennen mercenaries they are currently at war with.

Price attempts to steal his clan's space warp module, as well as numerous supplies to prepare for his time travel mission, however is discovered by his brethren. The one sided battle against his brothers lead to Price's frame to be destroyed and his life nearly taken until his Lotuscraft AI Ordan rescues the Tennen. Pursued by his kind, Price and Ordan attempt to escape the Origin System, but is surrounded. As revenge for his betrayal against the Clan, Tennen leader Quorra Lavine battles Price and defeats him.

Before Lavine can deal the finishing blow, Lavine asks Price what his intentions were. Price reaffirms that he is adamant on saving the humans of the past.

However, Price tells Lavine that whether or not the humans dictate their survival, he will still do everything in his power to protect them, just as their mother, The Lotus, had done for them.

Lavine warns Price that his feelings and emotions will betray him some day, and that as a Tennen, having his emotions interfere is not the Tennen way. However, Price tells Lavine that he is no longer a Tennen, and attempts to engage Lavine once more, leading to a one sided defeat. Lavine destroys Price's second frame, but Price is able to use the space warp module stolen from the Clan to port Lavine into his Lotuscraft.

Price and Lavine engage in combat once more, with Price able to use all of his frames in his arsenal, and Lavine only able to use her frame. However, despite the numbers advantage, Price is still defeated, all his frames destroyed, except for Umbra. Lavine is about to deal the finishing blow on Price, but Umbra suddenly displays sentience, intercepting Lavine, and allowing Price to tackle her to the ground in operator mode.

Recognizing Price's insistence to save the humans, Lavine lets Price go, but warns him that he is no longer welcome back to the Origin System. If he wants to return, he must start over from the bottom. Price tells
