I am attempting to establish an easy access list that contains all the Elder Races in the NS universe. The requirements are that they are at least ten million years old, are capable of intergalactic travel, and actually exist. Also please you do not have to leave a bio if you do not want to. Just give me there age and name.
Name:
Age:
Home Planet (optional):
Bio (optional):
Read this: Alright I can tell that many of you, not all, are making them which is annoying me all of them that bare currently on the list shall remain, but from now on I shall judge by merit of their number of posts, age of the nation, and if I even ever heard or have seen seen you in the threads. Also if any claim to be older then the Eternals my Elder Race they already have to be existing before your post.
List of Elder Races:
Name: Eternals
Age: Over 8 Billion Years Old
Home Planet: The original Eternal home planet.
Bio: They have since there early beginnings have been a naturally powerful immortal race. During their golden age they perfected their arts and crafts, reached the pinnacle of their happiness and bliss, perfected MOST of their technologies, and their empire was at its peak of its amount of territory.
Name: Dark Eternals
Age: About 1.2 billion years ago they separated from the Eternal race.
Home Planet: Same as the Eternals.
Bio: After a war with a great dark power which brought an end to the Eternal golden age quite a few of the Eternals had become corrupted and dark. Slowly they separated from the Eternal Empire until total war finally broke out. The war was a stalemate for many years until the Dark Eternals cast down the gods and stole their power. With this they were able to utterly break off from the Eternal Empire and ever since have been in an unending war against the Eternal Empire.
Name: Eerfs
Age: 50+ Millions
Homeplanet: Anake
Bio: This race nearly made a breakthrough in inter-stellar technology but then something happened and all members of this race disapeared leaving apocalyptic landscapes behind (although not intentionaly). It is said that they have turned their backs on material world and transcendeted to higher planes of existance. They belive that existence is a priori devine and everything that destroys life must be prevented.
Name: Narzoth
Age: 6.85 Billion Terran Standard Years
Home Planet: None
Appearence: Dark blue-skinned humanoids with light grey to silver hair, large red or green pupiless eyes, and two, short, flat Gazelle-Like horns on their head. They have only three, long spindly fingers, one thumb and the equivalent of the two middle fingers. Their favorite garb is a loose, long, flowing, black robe with grey trim.
Bio: Not much is known about the Narzoth, except for the fact that their home planet was decimated during some intergalactic war almost a billion years ago. Most of them perished along with their planet, but about a hundred thousand managed to escape and survive. Luckily, the Narzoth do not die as most races do; their immunity to diseases near-literally absolute, and they do not age after several hundred years of growth. The only commonly known way for them to die is to be killed, and because of their immense telepathic abilities, this is a difficult feat to accomplish.
The most commonly (and one of the only) known Narzoth is Dinar Jetz, the CEO and Founder of Gadget Corporation.
Race: Xel'Naga
Age: Unknown, first recorded contact 11.357 Million Terran Standard years before the first Terran civilisation.
Home Planet: Unknown, possibly Protoss Homeworld, Aiur
Bio: Genetically modified both the Protoss, a powerful race os Psions and warriors, as well as the Zerg, a parasitic swarm. Eventually disappeared without a trace, may be on the rise again.
Race: Aldenata
Age: Unknown, First known contact 135.572 million years before first Terran civilisation.
Home Planet: Barhwon 5, or possibly Aradan 7, evidence points in both directions.
Bio: Genetically modified the Warrior-race of the Darhel into pacifists, Modified the Indowy into Psions, Modified the Tchpth into science-philosophers, may have modified humans, either directly or by proxy, altered Posleen swarms. Eventually devestated by Posleen, existence uncertain at this time.
Name: Molqaer
Age: Just over 40 million years old
Home Planet (optional): Volandar
Bio (optional): A 5-dimensional race that used to be aquatic before transcending. They project images when they communicate with beings on the mortal coil. The Molqaer are a peaceful race.
Name: Reticulites
Age: 3+ billion years
Homeworld: Epsilon Reticuli 4
Bio:
Reticulites are a peace-loving, human-like people who hail from the Epsilon Reticuli star system, not far from Sol itself. Though physically similar to humans, their mental capabilities are significantly more evolved, and telekinetic and telepathic abilities manifest in nearly all of their kind to some degree.
They first began developing advanced technologies some three billion years ago, becoming founding members of the peaceful alliance, the 'Universal Commonwealth of the 17 Galaxies'. Their enormous Galactic Explorer-class vessels became a signature sight, recognised by civilisations across the universe as their never-ending thirst for knowledge took them billions of lightyears away from their home. Despite being incredibly advanced in all fields, they had no offensive weaponry of any type -- aside from their enormously powerful shielding technologies, they were utterly defenseless.
It was some 2.1 billion years ago that they explored one parsec too far. A single Galactic Explorer stumbled upon a world with a single piece of unknown technology on its surface -- a simple transmitter. Disturbing this transmitter alerted the attentions of an even older, more advanced species -- who, even to this day, have never been seen in the flesh, nor have they even communicated with anybody. An enormous, nomadic, moon-sized vessel of untold destructive power answered the transmitter's call, destroying the Galactic Explorer in a heartbeat. This was a scene which began to repeat all across the universe; Reticuli ships were annihilated mercilessly, and driven from every one of the galaxies of the Commonwealth, as more and more of the seemingly-unstoppable 'goliath ships' appeared everywhere. The Reticulites began to flee towards home, most dying along the way. This continued until they reached Epsilon Reticuli 4 -- the homeworld. Fortunately, a powerful planetary shield managed to withstand the onslaught, and the Reticulites survived as the aliens gave up and returned to wherever they came from. They never went into space again, however, and became paranoid and xenophobic. The legacy of the Reticulites eventually dropped from the memory of the civilisations which rose up to take their place, and the word 'Reticulite' became more of a legend than a recognised historical fact.
A few million years later, Epsilon Reticuli expended its hydrogen fuel and became a red giant. It rendered Epsilon Reticuli 4 uninhabitable, scorching its atmosphere and even its oceans away until it was a desolate rock. The planet died, and no-one noticed. Some Reticulites managed to survive in a series of underground habitats, protected by the shield which had kept them alive all those years ago. These habitats were kept alive by an artificial intelligence known as Afanso, who used a network of nanites to maintain its vital systems. The Reticulites themselves lost their technological prowess, however, and became tribal primitives. Mere shadows of their former selves.
Two billion years later, a lone Galactic Explorer emerged from the gas giant Epsilon Reticuli 5 (now known as Espsilon Reticuli B to humans, who failed to notice the innermost rocky planet) where its advanced technology had been stretched to the max. Its AI had managed to use nanites, and materials floating around the atmosphere of the planet, to keep the vessel intact, but it barely managed it. Low on power and crew, and severely damaged by its extended period of time inside a planet, it protected its homeworld once again from the unknown aliens who had returned to finish the job they started.
The eight Ancient Reticulites who survived aboard the Galactic Explorer now remain in orbit of their dead homeworld, and work to re-educate their people, and bring them out of the dark age they brought upon themselves. The enormous Galactic Explorer itself is largely dormant, as it lacks the power required to fully activate. Only the AI and basic orbital engines remain active. Thus they remain confined to their homeworld, for the time being at least.
Race: Antarans
Age: 5 billion years old.
BIO: The Antarans were an ancient race that used their technology and power to enslave entire star systems to there Hegemony. They were masters of gentic engineering and used this knowledge to create many different races across there old territory. This led to there down fall when they created the Ithkul a race of super parasitics meant to be used as a means to control there enemies. The Ithkul killed billions of Antarans untill only a few million surrived. The surriviors know serve in the Deatharon Empire and have positions of power and importance. Their current goal is to learn the secrets of Ascention to better combat the many enemies of the Empire and the Hegemony.
_________________________________________
A little section I created for the Zeon Republic.
Name: Fayth
Age: 6 Billion
Home Planet: Bevelle ( now in a sealed diminson this will be shown later on in a chapter called " Zeta Never Dies")
Bio : Leader of Neo Zeta they have now sealed them selfs away with a unknown amount of systems from the delta colonys in a diminson. They wait for the right time to return. They are a warlike elder race that follows Yevon.
Name: Ori and The Suprem System Lord Ra
Age: Older then the Birth of the Universe
Home Planet Another Diminson
Bio The Ancients came to this Diminson befor anything was here. They cuased the big bang and birth of life. They in time left but a group broke off known as the Ori. They force child races to worship them or die. They dont have bodys they have ascended to a higher plane however Lord Ra has absorbed the soul and mind of a wise Ori gaining her power and knowladge.

Explantion about Old Chornosia:
The Chronosians;
Millions of years ago; a man survived then fall of the Imperium of Man, fleeing from teh fires of holy Terra and the wrath of Chaos and the C'tan; and plunging into the warp. This Man, was Marcus De Drakan. Alone, isolated in the void; he felt his mind expanding, coming to terms with his loss, and compensating in his own way. His time alone granted him time to focus and hone his abilities; his mental faculties growing to far beyond what they had once been.
Millenia passed, and he plunged back into reality; once again returnign to Terra; finding it lush with life again. He found there, the Chronosians and he led them to the stars.
From their ranks he forged the Imperial Guard; for his own flesh he created the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines. And set out on his wars of conquest and expansion. A great crusade to mirror the Long Ago God-Emperors; the title he now held...
The Chronosian Imperium brought order and wisdom to countless worlds; they fought the alien, the mutant and the heretic with unknowable zeal. It was only with the coming of the Fall, that Old Chronosia died forever. And the forefathers of the great race become the bloody tyrants of the new Chronosia. A Chronosia which had found Chaos. A Chronosia lost now, to all but the wisest of men, and the most aged of data.
