Alien World, Pegasus Galaxy
Atlantis
The massive city cut loose from the restraints holding it beneath the sea, spraying millions of gallons of water high into the air as the ancient and titani city surfaced. A huge, shimmering shield surrounded the city, protecting it from all damage. Inside, something strange was happening. What appeared to be thousands of ghosts began to fade into existence started appearing everywhere. Soon they begin to take solid form, a form easily recognised as human. Something about them sets them aside from current humans. They all appeared to be handsomely built, tall and slender, almost radiant. They were something more than human, something powerful. They were The Ancients.
Thousands of years ago they disappeared from the universe, when a great plague ravaged this galaxy. They found out how to ascend to a higher plane of existence, how to become like Gods. They became immortal, ethereal beings capable of fighting any evil, curing any plague, even destroying worlds. But they chose not to. They chose to remain in the background and stay away from the affairs of mortals.
Now, they all saw the disarray of the universe, and knew they must intervene. But not as ascended beings. They waived their immortality, and their omnipotence. They chose to become mortal again. Make no mistake, Ancients are far beyond humans, more intelligent, stronger, better looking even. But mortal all the same. They constructed a system of stable wormhole gates spanning TWO GALAXIES, with Earth inside this network.
Now they are back to reclaim their Empire.
