What is the 17 shard? (the group, not the website. I'm not dumb.)

Brandon compared them to Starfleet if your a trekkie.  They are big on noninterference and might be associated with Silverlight(the university that Khriss works at).

We don't know much about them, just that they're a worldhopping group, and that they mostly believe that planets shouldn't be interfered with (by worldhoppers, other Shards, etc). Frost seems to be a high ranking member or leader. And some of them are hunting for Hoid.

Basically they are a group of people from an advanced culture committed to studying less advanced groups of people without interfering with their progress.  They have to let even bad events play out on there own.

As Hoid himself notes, he doesn't think they would know what to do if they actually found him either.

"We bring you a message from our leader, Frost: stop it already!"

"Yeah I know. He's told me that already, many times. Anything else?"

"Um... Come with us?"

"No."
