Progenitors

Overview

The Progenitors, also known as the Civilizations of the Unobservable, are a race of lifeforms that, according to a few scraps of xenological and paleontological evidence on the edging boundaries of what has ever been explored by nations known to Humans, may have been born in the young infancy of the Universe. However, with the constant expansion of the Universe since the Big Bang, they have been disconnected entirely from the rest of the xenosphere from the Observable Universe.

A devastating error in the test of the Human Treader Warp Drive series in 100067 CE, which promised users to tread across the entire Universe with speed and calculated agility, landed the experimental ship in the midst of the Unobservable Universe -- several giga-lightyears from the Observable Universe's edge. After taking numerous pictures and transmitting them back through the warp trail (which another promised feature of the Treader, eliminating the need for long-distance hypertachyon transmitters), the ship was annihilated by a spontaneous burst of white-hole energy, with the same Progenitors appearing in the footage.

Since the Treader Incident, the Confederacy of Humanity and other political entities have strongly warned any type of warping device that exceeds the boundaries of the observable universe.

Anatomy and Physiology

The Progenitors are massive, with the "youngest" being about fourty to fifty kilometers in length, and the "oldest" possibly being the size of entire gas giants and brown dwarves.
