History {::
SECT was created during the civil war, just prior to the exodus, to accommodate the Autobots' building a fleet specifically for the exodus. It was originally led by a group known as the Astrobots, a combiner group of nine who were experts in aerospace technology, exploration, and combat techniques. After an engineer named GriefAura transferred from his home city of Terracost to the larger Autobot-controlled city where SECT's base of operations was located, he was soon promoted to surpass the Astrobots as leader of the sub-faction and become captain of SECT's modest crew, contributing his personal ship, The Floating Torch, to the group. The Floating Torch became SECT's flagship, and carried out a number of successful missions attacking Decepticon outposts in Cybertron's orbit, conducting supply runs, and establishing new, safe travel routes over the surface of Cybertron.
The sub-faction was assigned to oversee all preparations for the coming exodus. This meant gathering and repairing as many ships as possible, and in some cases, building new ships. Preparations were led by GriefAura and a capable team of mechanics and engineers.
After the successful execution of the exodus from Cybertron, The Floating Torch and the entirety of SECT's journey through the space bridge brought them to a difference location than it had the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons. SECT was alone in space, and many hard-fought battles against all manner of space hazards ensued. By the end of their journey and their many conflicts with rogues, stray Decepticon groups, and a number of unnatural space phenomena, SECT had renamed itself to "Team Space Apocalypse." Eventually, the sub-faction was unable to continue, decimated; it's many members killed, and their ship- The Floating Torch- destroyed. The faction leader, GriefAura, is the only known survivor of the group. He managed to escape the faction's final battle alive by jettisoning himself from his ship in an escape pod and entering full stasis, later awakening on the planet Earth, alone.
