## (IC) Public History

Next to nothing is publicly known about Tel'Jahiir history, the Ambassador has revealed only bits and fractions of it. What is known, however, is that they are not the oldest race in the known galaxy. The Tel’Jahiir were ‘uplifted’ by a far more ancient, and now extinct, race that were called the Alurine, from whom the basis of Tel’Jahiir technology derives from. Instead of a detailed rundown of facts that are publicly known, this will instead be delivered in a list format:

* The Tel’Jahiir reside within a realm they call the Void, of which Void Tech derives from.
* The Void is where the Tel’Jahiir were uplifted by the Alurine, hence one of their nicknames being the Voidborn.
* They are vastly superior to any other race, but are not invincible (Lupine historians can verify this).
