Pre-Republic Era

The Pre-Republic Era (—25,053 BBY), also known as the Early Hyperspace Age, was the period before the formation of the Galactic Republic in the Andromeda galaxy. It included the formation and evolution of all the species of the universe, the dawn of their civilizations and their first developments in space travel, and ended in approximately 25,053 BBY, when the Republic was founded.
Pre-Republic history was largely dominated by ancient and mysterious species who developed interstellar travel long before humans and other, more well-known species. Such species included the Columi, Killiks, and Rakata. The names and histories of some of these species have been entirely lost to time, including the Celestials, whose influence and power stretched across multiple galaxies. In their travels about the galaxy, many of these civilizations affected the evolution and cultural development of the more primitive species that would later dominate galactic affairs. Some built massive structures for these and other purposes, including Centerpoint Station, the Maw, the Foundry, and the Star Forge.
In Andromeda's neighboring galaxy, the Milky Way, the primordial entities Primus and Unicron clashed in a cosmic battle that lasted for eons, with the former eventually defeating the latter by creating the original Thirteen Primes. Following this battle, the Thirteen would assist Primus in the creation of the Cybertronian race, though would eventually be lost to history themselves in the wake of infighting known as the War of the Primes. By 400,000 BBY the Cybertronian civilization would collapse into a civil war that would last well into the New Republic Era, hundreds of thousands of years later.
