The Celestials

The Celestials are a mysterious race of being who are told in many legends and myths of the oldest civilisations in the Universe. Much about them is unknown, and it is sometimes debated whether they existed at all.

From the information available, it seems that the Celestials were a hyper-advanced civilisation of Type 7 status, who were a major player in the early Universe. It is said that they constructed the first galaxies and organised the cosmos into super clusters.

There is some evidence of their existence still around, most notably the Nvroo Structure, a huge structure containing very advanced technology, so advanced that they still cannot be made sense of. It is over a hundred light-years in diameter, showing the power of the Celestials.

The main mystery associated with them is where they went. There are many theories: suggestions include extermination by another species, or self-destruction, or maybe they are still here but just lying low.
