Excerpts are the operators of the Divines within the Twilight Mirage, known in other cultures as Candidates or Elects. While Divines are sentient beings, they are still paired with humans when performing their tasks. The influence that the Excerpt has over the functioning of the Divine (and vice versa) varies between each Divine. Unlike other pilots of Divines, Excerpts have a greater role in determining which action the pair should take, and how resources should be allocated.

Excerpts take a new name along with their position, a line excerpted from the Divine Fleet's holy books, which may be abbreviated to a single word (for example, They marked scars of light in pitch; born in fiercest purpose, and beheld as the signet sealed upon our pact. is known as ⸢Signet⸣.)
