Powers
The normal Celestial has the following array of powers:
- Immortality: Celestials cannot be slain. If reduced to 0 Health or Endurance, a component can be removed from their armor that will force them into suspended animation until the piece is restored.
- Invulnerability: Class 5000 resistance to Fire, Heat, Cold, Electricity, Radiation, Toxins, Corrosives and Disease
- True Invulnerability: Class 3000 resistance to all physical and energy attacks
- True Flight: Class 5000
- Life Support: Class 5000
- Flight: Power rank in space, Shift-Z maximum in atmosphere, Class 5000 in space.
- Cosmic Energy Manipulation: The Celestials can manipulate vast amounts of latent cosmic energy (as well as all other forms of energy save for purely Magical energies) beyond the scope of mortals to measure with Class 3000 ability. It has been speculated that a single Celestial possesses enough power to lay waist to an entire galaxy with a full exertion of their cosmic powers. The following are some of their regular Power Stunts:
- Energy Blasts: Celestials can project Force or Energy blasts of Class 3000 intensity with unlimited range.
- Energy and Life Detection, Dimensional Travel, Time Travel, Force Field Generation (all Stunts): Class 3000
- Matter Control, Creation, and Conversion (all Powers and Stunts): Class 3000
- Teleportation: Celestials can teleport themselves and others with Class 5000 ability and unlimited range.
- The Celestials can also perform virtually any Power or Stunt given the scope and magnitude of their cosmic power with Class 3000 rank ability.
- Mental Powers: Celestials possess all listed Mental Powers and Stunts at Class 3000 levels.
- Biophysical Control: The Celestials have the Class 3000 rank ability to alter genetics and induce mutations, whether overt or latent.
- Self-Duplication: Each Celestial is able to simultaneously co-exist in a number of widely separated locations. Each body possesses identical powers. This enables the Celestials to perform their tasks on several worlds simultaneously. No two duplicates ever coexist in the same region.
- Internal Limbo: The interior of a Celestial appears to be a series of vast chambers recreating weird locations from throughout space. These chambers are apparently larger than the exterior shell of the Celestial.
- Internal Defenses: Each Celestial is inhabited by a variety of defensive organisms. These function like anti-bodies to attack invaders. They can be any forms the Celestial wishes, but usually appear as insect or anti-body like creatures of up to Unearthly abilities and Powers.

- Celestial Function: Exitar is an enormous Celestial (some 10,000 feet tall compared to the standard 2,000 feet for a Celestial) that appears on a world if Arishem has condemned it. After a short period to gather his energies, Exitar acts. First he throws a force field around the planet, then he exterminates the condemned race. Once that is accomplished, he cleanses the world and rebuilds it in order that other life may flourish there. Obviously Exitar’s destructive power goes far beyond the scope of any one planet (as does all Celestials) and it may be possible that he has and does perform his function on a much larger scale. While Exitar appears to be the most powerful known Celestial, he simply acts as any another member of the Host performing his specific function.

History
The origin of the armor-clad Celestials is unknown, nor has anyone seen what they look like beneath their distinctive 2000-foot-high armor. They are a star-faring race that locates nascent sentient races and manipulates their genetic make-up, then returns in the future to judge whether they are a threat. If judged a threat to the universe, then that race is destroyed.
On Earth, the Celestials created the alternate human races of Eternals and Deviants, and placed the potential for benign mutation in mainline humanity. In other visits, they sank Lemuria to prevent the succsss of the Deviant line, and threatened to seal the dimensional nexus to prevent the interference of extra-dimensional beings. The Celestials are enigmatic, and except for their master plan take no notice of the life they tower over.
