Name: Wulgaru
Notes: An all but extinct species, the origin of the Wulgarus can be traced back to when their ancestors were deposited on their 'new' homeworld from pre-historic Terra by the Preservers. Developing with a very Darwinian philosophy of 'survival of the fittest', they evolved into a very aggressive strain of humanity. In fact, it was this philosophy that led to the problem that plagued modern Wulgaru - by removing so many of the so called 'weak' over their history, they had steadily been decreasing their overall gene pool. As a result, with less unique genes to go around, the Wulgaru were dying out with fewer and fewer in each successive generation.
At first, they attempted to solve this problem by seeding other worlds with their genetic information and returning later when sentient life had evolved to a sufficient level to harvest new genetics for their own use, but those in power were not pleased with the results. As a result, they began attacking other worlds populated by species genetically compatible with their own. It wasn't until they reached another world the Preservers had seeded with humans from Terra that they encountered their first true resistance to their genetic harvesting operations.
Locked in a war of mutually assured destruction, individuals from both sides, military and civilian, who recognized the futility in what was going on, banded together and managed to flee in a small flotilla of ships while both worlds annihilated each other behind them. Unfortunately, they didn't get far before a graviton ellipse emerged into real space and swallowed their vessels. Luckily, they found the [i]Malfunction Junction[/i] inside as well, having been previously absorbed, and banded together with the survivors aboard the cityship for mutual survival.
Cannibalizing their own ships and other wrecks the ellipse contained, they were eventually able to get the cityship operational enough to escape. Emerging back into realspace just outside a Zodiac Empire held star system, all aboard surrendered peacefully, both tired of fighting and just not having the energy to resist in any way....not that they were in any shape to put up any kind of fight in the first place.
Following absorption into the Zodiac Empire, the surviving Wulgarus were able to use both their home's medical technologies as well as greater access to freely given sources of compatible genetic material to restart their race. Currently, the Zodiac Empire is host to two different groups of Wulgarus with their own philosophies: one that wants to preserve pureblooded Wulgarus while the others is content with preserving the Wulgaru line in mixedblood descendants.
