Descendants of Cassians who had broken off from the Dominion more than 300 years ago, Exile humans have been surviving in the Fringe, living in a derelict, ramshackle fleet held up by prayers, jury-rigged repairs, and tons of duct tape. Resourceful, stubborn, and firm believers in hard work, they have been doing everything in their power to live to see another day, even if it means going into some less than honest ventures.

Respected for their grit, iron backbone, and dauntless tenacity, in the wake of the miraculous discovery of Nexus, the Exile humans have chosen to abandon their centuries of wandering and build a new life for themselves—fighting fiercely alongside their Exile allies to protect it from the Dominion.
