Xcathli
More actions
The Xcathli are a humanoid alien species originating from Xcathlia. They are widely considered to be the most advanced documented species in the universe, having colonized hundreds of galaxies across the universe and universes beyond their home.
Description
The Xcathli are about 190 cm (6' 2 51/64") on average for both men and women, although some records show some Xcathli long ago to have been over 250 cm tall (8' 2") and historical documents indicate that all Xcathli used to be taller. Their skin is tinged blue, and their eyes are always bright yellow. They have body proportions much alike a human's, with the exception of their large, pear-shaped heads.
HISTORY
The Xcathli first emerged approximately 1.6 million years ago on their homeworld of Xcathlia. Evolving from previous, less sapient lifeforms, they were the first intelligent species to live in their star system. Over the next 500,000 years, ancestors of the Xcathli traveled across the farthest reaches of the planet. Various civilizations would dot the planet for a period of over 850,000 years, culminating in a final global union formed with the purpose of interplanetary development. Roughly 250,000 years ago, the first probes were sent beyond the home world of the Xcathli. While the Xcathli did not leave their home system until 10,000 years later due to interplanetary wars and conflict, eventually they began to reach out and colonize the universe around them.
TRANS-UNIVERSAL EXPLORATION
Operations that involved interdimensional travel were first proposed in 21306, when Uir Forzannarte published Forzannarte's Second Theorem. This equation would become one of the most famous in history, as it paved the way for quantum compression and inter-dimensional fluctuation. In 21398, the Forzannarte I was sent beyond the Xcathli's home universe from a deep-space colony. The first reports returned on November 6, 21398, from a very similar universe. This universe was later known as X-002 (X-001 being the Xcathli home universe). Six months later, another operation was sent to the same universe, where a colony was established on a planemo in the distant reaches of the universe. The goal of the operation was to establish a colony that would not extend its influence over the home inhabitants, but simply provide a place for the Republic's citizens to live. This continued in five other universes over ten years. Now, the Xcathli have colonized and catalogued over 3,500 different universes, and have achieved interplanetary influence in almost 50 of them. The technology to create and destroy universes (Operation Lucid Dream) is in progress.
