Pioneers are Alterra employees part of the Pioneer Program, tasked with colonizing unexplored worlds across the galaxy. Many Pioneers were aboard the Cicada when it crashed into Proteus. Although they are now missing, Pioneers have left numerous derelict Pioneer Seabases across Proteus, which often contain invaluable blueprints, fragments, and databank entries.
Pioneers who die can be reprinted in a Biobed and leave behind a Blackbox containing information on their fate.
