Working on doing the same.

In the mean time, I stumbled on something as a possible "collective" background that our current Sternritter could share. Aside from the revelation that Vitor can keep their powers around after Yhwach's death, I'd assume most of them would've been alive during the Wandenreich invasion of the Seireitei (Would be strange if they weren't barring HK, who's a machine) and all of them have the strength to rank among the current SR so why wouldn't they have been SR at the time? Going out on the idea that there can be multiple SR under the same letter, or that Yhwach can give more than 26 and its merely an identity/attachment kind of thing, I'd imagine that they all served different roles, misfits, experiments, symbols or whatever, they had Epithet powers for one reason or another that could facilitate a particular task and so on (HK-105's power being perfect for executing prisoners, particularly hardy ones). Basically they were the B-team, the janitors, the gang of misfits that got the job when the original (inferior versions :P ) bit the dust.
