Black MarkerThe Black Marker was the alien artifact discovered in the Chicxulub crater on Earth in 2214, believed to have guided human evolution and to have served as the template for every Red Marker copy that followed. Its public exposure by Michael Altman gave rise to the Church of Unitology.
Marker 2AMarker 2A was one of the first Red Markers reverse-engineered by the Sovereign Colonies from the Black Marker, built in secret on the remote penal world of Aspera. Its signal drove the prisoners insane, drew the convict Istvan Sato to it as a catalyst, and triggered the Necromorph outbreak that destroyed the colony.
Marker 3AMarker 3A was a Red Marker grown by the Sovereign Colonies at the end of the 23rd century and placed on Aegis VII for study. Two centuries later it was unearthed by the Concordance Extraction Corporation, triggering the outbreak aboard the USG Ishimura and imprinting its blueprints into Isaac Clarke''s mind.
MarkerMarkers were enigmatic double-helix obelisks that broadcast a signal capable of reanimating the dead, driving the living to madness, and seeding their own replication. Their purpose was to spread the Necromorph infection across intelligent civilizations until a Convergence Event could form a Brethren Moon.
Red MarkerRed Markers were the man-made copies of the Black Marker, reverse-engineered by the Sovereign Colonies in the hope of harnessing limitless energy. Identical in function to the original, they seeded Necromorph outbreaks across every world where they were built.
