The Syndicate of Stasis

Run by a shadowy, yet-unseen overboss, not much is known about this mysterious organization except for the following facts:
They enjoy experimenting with time to create supremely annoying effects.
Their ultimate goal is to bring the space-time continuum to a grinding halt here and forevermore.
As such, they are highly motivated to learn how Langston stopped time on Mearth. They will stop at nothing to uncover his secret.
While the head honcho at this organization remains obscured, Crash and company have had several run-ins with Slowrises, the dependable bureaucrats, researchers, and everyday workers of the Syndicate of Stasis. Loyal to a fault, Slowrises use their hulking frames and unreasonable cuteness to ensure the Syndicate’s operations run as smoothly as possible.
