Fictional group biography
The Followers of the Light were members of an alien race, the Lumina, who came to Earth eons ago in the Jurassic period to wage the Great Chaos Wars with Earth's alien conquerors, the Myndai. After the last Myndai on Earth were defeated and cast into suspended animation, the Followers of the Light remained on Earth in suspended animation in case the Myndai awoke and restarted the war. The Myndai did indeed revive in recent years, led by Maur-Konn, and the Followers of the Light reawakened to combat them, creating the Shogun Warriors. The last remaining Followers of the Light on Earth were killed by the Followers of Darkness, but presumably there are more elsewhere in the universe.
Known members included Basque, Charn, Sherna, and Dr. Tambura.
