Alright, so I have been trying to compile all the material and trying to come up with some kind of narrative explaining their backstory without sounding like a wikipedia article over here. Even for a minor species, trust me, it´s quite tricky and there are several aspects from it that I could extend quite a bit.
I can´t guarantee if I am going to type it now or tomorrow but it´s going to take me a while.
As for now though, I have managed to come up with a very clear conclusion:
This thread...is a joke.
I´ll try to pick out the reasons why I have concluded this bold statement. Don´t get me wrong though, the meaning of "joke" has more connotations here than the meaning that you usually imply for other things.
