The Cyworg empire,.. these cybernetic worganisms came from the fare and barren Asceral quadrant. They came from the darkest parts of the Universe, there where the stars no longer shine, and their suns have past away. When the lights in their galaxy faded, their bodies couldnt withstand the cold no more. When the planet closed in to the point of absolute extinction, was salvation only offered through what they call "the merge". Over thousands of years their population slowly stabilized. And as their bio-technological knowledge grew, so indeed increased their strength and abilities.
