Tevu

A shape-shifting race that is actually largely liquid-based in nature with no real discernable internal organs (and their insectoid allies). In modern times with term is used almost exclusively to refer to the surviving shape-shifters, some of who escaped to Earth long ago and have been hiding among humankind even since. They are the natural and mortal enemy of the Briary race.

In recorded history

The only known mention of the Te'vu in history from the log of the Ta'Ki

"Grand Praetor’s Log – Ta’Ki – 8023.45 GE

''We were once the masters of our fate. A proud symbiotic race that conquered our contemporaries with impunity. Augmented by special symbiotic entities we called the Bori’arri, we developed abilities most species could only dream of. And as we grew in power, influence, and control, our hunger for more became insatiable. We soon began to look beyond our local systems in search of more species and races to subjugate to our might. At our strongest, our Grand Empire extended into two sizeable sectors of the galaxy. However, it was about this time that our expansionist policies and overconfidence brought us into contact with them.''

''We called them the Tevu. A pestering race of shape shifters and their insectoid allies. They were...deemed unworthy of the Praetor’s grace and since they could not be assimilated they were marked for extermination. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that their infestation of the galaxy was much greater than we anticipated. What quickly followed was massive series of wars and military campaigns that would span the next several centuries. But even before the final campaign ended and the last known Tevu world was eradicated of all life, our Empire’s true fate had already been sealed.''

''We first realized this the moment one of our sectors experienced a supernova unlike anything we had ever seen. We called it the apocalypse star. Within seconds, all life in the Reo’vara sector was gone. Some feared that it was a Tevu superweapon. Others claimed it was an unexpected but natural phenomenon that we had failed to detect in time."''

This small bit of history had a huge impact. It implies the Te'vu as responsible for the apocalypse star that wiped out the Reo’vara sector. And explains the arch rivalry that still exists today.
