Timeline

24,997 BC

• At the dawn of their period of usefulness, the Eidelons developed need of a guard. A race no one had quarrel with. A force to ensure harmony prevailed once negotiations had finished. They took great care to choose a species no one had met before and found a primitive, barely clothed species, far removed on the galaxy's outer spiral. Having brought some of them back, their evolution was accelerated with generous alterations, until they became the Eidelon's trusted acolytes--the Peacekeepers. It is theorized that the Sebacean's fore bearers were in fact Humans.
