Little is known about the race that came first. They built the waygates and the giant derelict ships that can be found throughout the galaxy. The design of the ships indicates that they were a large race who did not use legs to traverse their ships. Some scholars believe they could have been serpentine, while others point to the ocuth and their ability to levitate. The state of their ships also indicates that the race most likely met their fate in a war or invasion. There are no known representations of the Ancients, nor any first hand stories or myths.
