Agrians

Description
Agrians are the first intelligent race to inhabit the planet Domus. They are known to the current Domian inhabitants as 'Largers', 'Giants' and 'Forefathers'.

The Agrians are a race of beings standing around 3 meters tall and weighing between 400-500kg when fully grown.

It is unknown just how long the Agrians inhabited Domus, though from archaeological evidence they appear to be the first sentient species to become technologically developed.

Their evolution appears to have been slow and their decision making blighted by more base instincts. Their inability to overcome an urge to procreate or police an effective means of population control meant the world became overpopulated with them resorting to ever more extreme

In their desperation they even took to demolishing vast cities and replacing them with farmland, despite the ground being ruined by centuries of absorbed pollution.

They then took to the skies in large floating cities known as Praeters which were intended to keep the ground below free for the exclusive use of agriculture. It is unknown where the technology for the floating cities came from. Towards their departure from Domus the Agrian's appear to make sudden leaps in technological achievement in a short space of time.

Their final action was an enigma, they created and released a lethal virus which caused a pandemic, greatly reducing their number. They also created a new race of beings known today as Domians which were to be left behind to essentailly restart their world. They then departed in their millions on board a vast starship.

Currently the last of the Agrians are adrift in space, kept cryogenically frozen until they receive a signal from Domus to return to a now survivable world.

Recent archaeological digs have uncovered the scars of great wars between Agrian factions, the Steel Desert being an area carpeted in ancient metal war machines.
