Portal:Omni

The Omni are one of the oldest races in the galaxy having evolved around the same time as the Harbingers. In fact, these two races were the only known that were spacefaring at the time. The Omni are credited to developing the interstellar drive. It is unknown what planet the Omni originated from, but they built a space station called Technosilis. It is possible they had been a galaxy-wide empire due to a variety of artifacts and ruins found throughout the galaxy that bear close resemblances to each other.

Appearance
It is unknown what an Omni looks like, but incomplete fossils found near the crashed starships that they had sent out suggest a humanoid appearance.

Last Hope of the Omni
The Harbingers had invaded colony after colony of the Omni. They had even forced them out of Technosilis, but were unable to destroy the planet due to it being near-indestructible. The Omni were bent on extinction by the Grox so they had one last hope. They sent out many ships carrying an interstellar drive and proton missiles out to a variety of star systems with sentient life. However, the Grox destroyed many of these ships though a few got away and crashed onto a variety of different planets scattered throughout the galaxy. The majority of these ships crashed on planets with an atmosphere that could not support them and the ships themselves were failing. The Omni drew a map on the ground by burning it with a laser in order to make a map to their nearest colony. They had hoped that other species would one day avenge their extinction by destroying the Grox.

They had also uploaded a variety of data to the Technosilis main computer, but the data went corrupt over time. Scientists are still trying to extract what they can from the data in attempts to discover the secrets of the Omni.

Impact Today
Many species use Omni technology such as the interstellar drive. Also, they use the same style weapons as they had developed. The Dhragolon were among the first to make use of their technology cache; they found one on Pelietta.
