COLLECTIVE SUMMARY

NGC 1365, the Oraygonians home galaxy

Arrived at our local group under 10-20 million years ago (citation missing) — their civilization is of an unknown age (possibly hundreds of million years old).

Their brief, enigmatic contacts with humans on Earth (7000 BCE, and 1947 CE) were a minuscule event in their recent history. They departed from human contact in 2010 CE for undisclosed reasons. Their current status and return ETA are unknown.

Derelict structures found in 2790 CE by the Sable-Rustichelli MRDO's Archaeological Division attributed to the Oraygonians, on Timandra - a moon of Thestias, on the Pollux system - date to around 497,000 BCE. Indicating that the Oraygonians have been scouting the solar neighbouhood for at least half a million years.

Origin

Everything we know about the Oraygonians was either conjectured by the S&R Archaeological Division, or was directly/indirectly stated by a single individual named Y'haahrln'zhun Ur'u'bos, while interrogated by the American CIA in 1947 - self proclaimed "Ruling Prince of the Oreygola'nanlui" in the Fornax-Milky Way axis, 'the truest and only expression of their kind'. All information not directly verifiable (which is most of it) must be taken into account with a reasonable degree of skepticism.

Somewhere in the Fornax Propeller Galaxy (NGC 1365), approximately ~60 million light-years from the Milky Way.

They have no "territory" as the younger races understand it. Their mobile 'city-ships', if that is what they are, drift in the profound darkness between the galactic arms or within the halo of galaxies they dwell. They are drawn to regions of astrobiological interest or historical significance to their kind. Earth and the Milky Way galaxy are amidst such places.

Known Settlements (mentioned significantly):

• Their home galaxy, the FPG.
• The Lost Draconic City of Kamm Anoris: An artificial, starfish-shaped artificial world ~175,000 km across, orbiting a white dwarf in the Draco Dwarf Galaxy.
• The Or’Op Vault: A planetary sanctuary in the halo of the Triangulum Galaxy.

Their civilization is one of many wonders and horrors - it stands out that they do not fully comprehend their own technological marvels the same way humans do, which was stated as one personal point of interest of theirs about human science - their 'experts' in various branches of science seem to merely take facets of physics and technology to an intuition-level understanding, often resorting to occultism, prayer, and standardized rituals in order to execute certain processes and functions. A custom which stretches long both because their deep-time civilization and their still-functioning assets across the universe, and because part of their science roster and spacetravel technology is non-proprietary. Being attributed to an even elder race of beings, referred only as 'the Dragons'.

According to oral tradition, the Dragons were once masters of the known universe, but their hubris, or perhaps design, culminated in the Oraygonian rise. They overthrew the Dragons in their local sphere of influence, and then, their home galaxy. The bulk of their ancient history was but a never-ending crusade with the goal of exterminating each and every last Dragon in the known universe for "their crimes against Life and Reality." - for that reason, an apparent big part of the Oraygonian ethos includes the major non-intervention with the natural course of life unless of 'utmost importance', whatever that would entail.

Contrary to what one would derive from this, the Oraygonians are stated to not be a single monolith, for as much as they would like it to be. The Oreygola'nanlui is only one of their many philosophical strains and supposedly what the bulk of their diaspora align themselves with. Though, a parallel group, the Flagredunn (The Unrelenting Force?) are an Oraygonian heresy based in the northern galactic halo. They reject the principle of non-interference, periodically descending to strip-mine galactic disk worlds for elements scarce in the halo.

Description

Massive, pale centipede/grub-like entities with small, functional insectoid wings. Individuals with varying degrees of cybernetic alterations and implants, but conservative of their base bodyplan.

Mainly carnivorous, are able to appreciate other forms of nutrition 'as a treat'.

A "young" individual, Y'haahrln'zhun Ur'u'bos (935 years old at the time), stood over 9ft tall and spanned 20ft in length when it spoke to a Chalcolithic Iraqi king in 6984 BCE, according to Y'haahrln'zhun himself amongst the 'revelations of its second coming', between 1947 and 1954 CE. The individual refused themselves to be weighted, estimated at 2-5 metric tons if composed of conventional Earth-like animal biomass.

Spacetravel

Theorized to be a form of Pulsed Kugelblitz Drive / Spacetime Metric Manipulation that allows for effective trans-galactic travel at γ > 10³-10⁶ (wait, did someone double check this?) speeds. Their in-system mobility is effortless and silent, suggesting supernatural control over inertia and gravity. The energy sources required are compatible to that of a Kardashev-III scale, likely involving Vacuum Energy Extraction or hyper-relativistic gravitational assists around black holes.

OTHER Revelations

The following are transcript fragments of an unverified, heavily redacted audio recording recovered from a CIA safe house in 1954. The speaker is believed to be Y'haahrln'zhun Ur'u'bos during a period of supposed "revelations." The interviewer is unknown. His testimony is heavily colored by his eccentric personality, a fondness for Earth's bugs, and a general disinterest in providing useful information. The questions are cut in no particular order.

How many of you there are?

> Well, I don't know. A lot. How many of you there are?

So it [Life] is very common?

> That's not what I said. Booooooring. Lots of stuff, to few eyes, to few bugs to experience stuff and meet other bugs. And when bugs, not a lot fly. Bugs are rare, humans are rare, humans fun. I miss the giant hairy bugs, you know? Like, big, hair, face-snake and huge tusk. Did you get to meet them?

Have you been here before?

> Oh yes! Its my favorite place. But you guys killed a lot of us. Like. A concerning amount of emissaries, so I guess we just stopped sending them because you wouldn't stop killing them. I was there with my father when we rescued the last one.

When was the last time you've been here? On Earth.

> *pause* long long loooong time. I think. I had to time speak to your first king, very nice guy. Somehere around this place, I think... Some eight-thousand nine hundred and thirty five years of your world ago? Not sure.

How does your technology work?

> How does what?...  Do you know how to make a lightbulb or do you just flip the switch and expect it to work? We just do... things. They were already there when we got them, and they work.

Where do you [all] come from?
> Home.

Alright. Where, in space, out there, do you all come from?
> *long pause* ooooooh. Home-home, you mean. Here I believe, thought it might be this one. I'm not really good with pictures.

If you didn't make your technology, then who did?

> You're really making this more difficult than it needs to be. This isn't what I signed up for. I was expecting a party or something. You guys are bad at throwing parties. Reminds me of the Dragons my father spoke of. They knew a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff and they're all dead. Dead. Dead. Dead Dragons. Deaaad, you hear me? Y'all seem like you don't hear me ever, did you know that? By the way, I love them bugs you have. They're delicious. Can I have some more bugs?

How common is life in the universe?

> Boring. Lotta bugs tho. Tasty bugs. Bad bugs. Fun bugs. I like bugs. Y'all should really try meeting some bugs every once in a while.

Are we alone?

> Are you blind?

Is intelligence rare?

> That's not something I know... Do you know all the bugs in your planet? That's an absurd question even for you. I just give the orders, not a lot, but very important orders, my counselors smart but afraid of you. I find you interesting. Would you like a bug, sir?

You mentioned 'Dragons'. What are they, actual dragons? What did they do?

> *long pause* What did they not do? They took things that weren't theirs. They made things that shouldn't be. They broke things. And when they broke them, they didn't fix them... And that... Dragon. It's a cool word. You have cool bugs and cool monsters. Dragon is the coolest in my opinion. And they are all dead, dead, dead, very dead too. Aren't they? Best I can say without melting your face.

*sigh* Are all of your people like you?

> No. Some are stupid. Some are loud. Some want to eat everything and break everything and take everything. You have your own stupid people. You know what I mean. They're like you, but louder. And wrong. You know... Can I have more of this "Ice" Cream? I like.

Relations

Unknown to the galaxy at large. Flagredunn branch is suspected to exist by the Qire (and by proxy, the Dominion)

Societal psychological profile unavailable.

Uncertain presence and reach

Unknown objectives other than to preserve the "natural" evolutionary tapestry of the Milky Way.
