Ancients

The Ancients, also known as the 'ancient ones' is an umbrella term used for certain, highly-developed species in the galaxy who were present way before the Zelturian Empire arose, often used to refer to those in the Thyt; one of the galaxy's first galaxy-spanning governments many millions of years ago. The term tends to include the Oraeph, Adaro (reduced to a highly primitive state by the Oraeph) the Danu (totally extinct), Enra (almost extinct), Toral (totally extinct), Ceith and sometimes the Zeltura themselves (although they were the youngest species in the Thyt at the time) and may have included other unknown species including a crystal-energy based species and a gas-species that may not even be from the Milky Way.

Many modern opinions often say that the Ancients are so advanced that they have become far-removed the modern mindset of many species in the Confederacy, Imperial Federation and other groups, that they consider many species as petty and as primitive as animals, despite just one able to sway the course of an entire battle, they are nowhere to be seen. Those that do still exist are rarely seen and do not meddle in any of the galactic bodies in the galaxy.
