The guardians are one of the three groups of the crew, with the Engineers and the Researchers. In the closed, controlled world of the ship their work has shrunk to logistics and the supervision of misfits during the vigils, and they favour classic warfare in the experiences. In section 9 they are led by Han, with Pedro as second; Wang is a guardian.
In Descent (2258)
After the crash
After the crash, with Han dead and Pedro in command, every guardian is ordered to stay awake to keep order. Many arm themselves, and they are blamed for much of the trouble in the camps; Yong's followers are the exception.
The expedition and the split
After the attack of the The sunken the guardians take control of every department, print harpoon rifles and lead the mass migration, with their strongest units at the head of the convoys. When the rebellion breaks out they capture and beat many hunters and engineers, until Kurt's robot frees the rear convoys.
Yong's followers
Yong's followers are a group of young crew members gathered on Calima around Wang, whom they call "Master". They wear red headbands and a shared uniform whose pieces mark rank, carry staves and spears of burnt wood, and patrol the centre of the wreck to keep order.
In the story
Most children went back to the tanks after the crash, but many young people stayed awake, and found themselves lost. The first to join Wang was a girl who came to his morning exercises; others followed, and within ten days there were two dozen, training, meditating and patrolling with him and treating his advice as orders. They live in Wang's camp and are welcomed by the people of the centre. Zaya and Tareq are among them.
Pedro refuses any of them as a volunteer for the expedition. At the end, in the clearing where Kurt faces Wang, Yong's followers and other guardians argue over the prisoners; after the duel they help hand the captives over to the hunters.
