Remnant Precursors

There were a few alien civilizations that had individually developed and collapsed in the region now called the Ember Waste, before the Remnant occupied the area. The most significant of these were called the Zitchal Maudrakoi (or just Maudrakoi). Almost nothing is known about them, but they are mentioned in the descriptions of the Point Defense Turret and the Salvage Scanner, and during Remnant side missions. 
The Maudrakoi were responsible for the construction of the caves, tunnels and spaces deep under the surfaces of the three Remnant planets. Apparently, they lived underground, and they did not "attach much importance to directionality" in their engineering; meaning that they put control and instrument panels on every surface of their rooms, while there are very few places for an operator to hold themselves in place. 
=== Point Defense Turret ===
Not long after the Remnant settled on Aventine, they began to discover caches of alien technology in vaults deep under the mountains, guarded by ancient but still-functioning point-defense systems. The Remnant learned how to duplicate those defense systems, and they are now considered to be much more useful than most of the items that they were guarding.
=== Salvage Scanner ===
When the Remnant unraveled the alien point defense turrets guarding the vaults on Aventine, they also deciphered the mechanisms that guided the ancient weapons. After significant investments in research and development, they have transformed those guidance systems into sophisticated scanning technology.
== History ==
Almost nothing is known about these precursor aliens. The only thing we know about those aliens is that they had lived in the Ember Waste sometime before the Remnant arrived, and then disappeared. Their extinction was possibly caused by the same cataclysmic event that made the Ember Waste the way it is today.
== Notes ==
* 'Zitchal Maudrakoi' is probably derived from Zitchas, the main developer of this region.
