Aftermath of Albrecht's Void Encounter
- Main article: Fragments/Albrecht
Albrecht was heavily injured, both physically and mentally by his encounter with the Man in the Wall. His eyes, skin and most of his face were torn asunder by the destroyed bell's Seriglass and burned by direct exposure to the Void, leaving him on the verge of death. Despite his fears of facing the entity again, his sheer disgust towards his own cowardice allowed him to regain the will to live. Loid nursed him back to health.
After Albrecht recovered, he placed all of his focus in defeating the Indifference, who had copied his visage and mocked his fear of it. His first attempt to do so was through the Cavia. As he theorized the entity had gained human sapience and his intelligence from their encounter, he thought that by exposing it to wild animals, it would mimic them and devolve into a non-menace. Unfortunately, the Adversary was uninterested, and most of the Cavia were killed by their encounters. Albrecht tried several more times, to the point his lab was filled with piles of Void-twisted corpses.
Horrified by the results, Albrecht came to the conclusion that the reason the Cavia had failed so far was because the Indifference craved uniqueness due to its own bland nature, and the animals were too mundane for its tastes. In desperation and partly due to his refusal to sacrifice Kalymos to the entity, Albrecht and Loid smuggled the last breeding pair of Cervulites to the lab, and Loid placed them a Seriglass bell alongside an "expendable avian" and a Norg that could provide more material in case the Cervulites proved insufficient. While the bird was labeled "Bird 3", the fish was a last-minute addition and was unlabeled. They were then sent through the Untime Door into the Void.
In the Void, the Indifference was able to penetrate the bell and manifested before the Cavia. It gave them humanlike intelligence and knowledge of the Voidtongue so they could understand it. The male Cervulite realized Albrecht didn't expect any of them would survive, and named himself "Tagfer" and his mate "Minn", as he was outraged by the fact the scientist had tagged both of them for disposal. The unnamed Norg, horrified by his sudden sapience and the entity that seemed poised to kill everyone, suffered a panic attack and broke the bell's seal, which exposed the Cavia to lethal amounts of Void contamination. Minn, who was closest to the seal, was vented into the Void, devastating Tagfer. The sheer energy of the Void caused the bell's monitors to fail, driving Loid to abort the experiment and bring the Cavia back to Deimos.
While Minn was lost to the Void, presumed dead, the other Cavia had survived, changed by the Indifference but completely unable to speak any human tongue. Realizing his plan had failed and overwhelmed with guilt for what he'd done to them, Albrecht refused to dispose of the surviving Cavia and assigned them to Loid, who froze them to save their lives. While he never revealed it to him, Albrecht hoped someone would one day be able to decipher the Voidtongue and truly understand the Cavia. At some point before he was frozen, the Norg named himself "Fibonacci".
Thanks to the freezing, Loid and the Cavia were able to survive the Old War and into the present day.
Encroaching Murmur Threat
- Main article: Operation: Gargoyle's Cry
Fibonacci would attempt to calibrate Jahu Gargoyles across the system to detect any possibility of the Indifference escaping. He consequently overlooked the possibility of intrusion by the Indifference. As such, Tenno across the system were tasked with eliminating the Fragmented Tides whenever they appeared to acquire Curses to properly calibrate Jahu Gargoyles that were placed within Tenno Dojos.

- Rotating offerings every week
On Rank 5 - Illuminate, only one reward is available per week and it can only be bought once that week. Every week, the 3 offerings will rotate from left to right, which takes 3 weeks for a full loop.

Tagfer
- Main article: Tagfer
Tagfer is a Cervulite, a vaguely deer-like animal, who has gained sapience due to a failed experiment of Albrecht Entrati. He is one of the last of his species, with the only other known member being his mate, Minn. Tagfer grants access to the weekly Netracells mission.
Other
Necraloid
- Main article: Loid
The Necraloid is a construct modeled after the human Loid to serve the Entrati following Albrecht's disappearance. At Rank 5 - Illuminate, he arrives at the Sanctum Anatomica to offer Deep Archimedea weekly missions.
Minn
- Main article: Minn
Similar to her mate Tagfer, Minn was a Cervulite, a unique species on the brink of extinction. Of the four, Minn was the only member of Cavia that failed to return from the Void and is believed to be either missing or dead.
Notes
- Each rank-up displays a Vitruvian recording where the Cavia talk amongst themselves, revealing their past trauma from Void exposure.
- Next to Loid is a terminal that opens the Operator Report, a series of redacted log files that recap the events of WARFRAME as the Cavia monitor Albrecht's chosen Operator.
- At Rank 5 - Illuminate with the Cavia, the player gains the ability to customize the appearance of the animals. However, if Creator Mode is turned on, this option does not appear.
- Additionally, each animal member of the Cavia gains the option to "Offer Comfort", involving the Tenno hugging the animal.
Trivia
- In biology, cavia is a genus that contains guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are often the subject of scientific experiments, much like how the Cavia syndicate is comprised of animal individuals used for Void research.

Weekly Archon Shard Offering Moved to Sanctum Anatomica
Weekly rotating Archon Shard Offerings have been moved out of Chipper’s Store and are now available from Bird3 in the Sanctum Anatomica! The Archon Shard is specifically in their Shiny Treasures offerings.
The weekly Archon Shard becomes available once you’ve reached Rank 5 with The Cavia Syndicate and can be purchased for 30k Cavia Standing.
Having them at Chipper meant players had to repeat Break Narmer missions weekly to acquire the Stock needed to purchase them. In an effort to make Archon Shards more accessible and to refresh the gameplay path to acquiring them, they have been moved to the Sanctum Anatomica. With this change, we’ve adjusted some of Chipper’s lines to remove mentions of Archon Shards. This chipper line lives on in our hearts: “Got archon shards if you're interested. Only one previous owner. Ha ha HA!”.
