The Azol

The only known image of an azol, showing their basic body shape and some additional features like cybernetics.

Introduction:

The Azol were an incredibly advanced species that existed during the High Precursor era. Their home galaxy, Ocuvorn hri Parasitia, is over 1 billion light years away from the Founder Galaxy, preventing the Illithid-Dilug Intergalactic Empire of New Rocheron from discovering the Azol civilization until the final years of the High Precursor era. When imperial explorers reached their galaxy, the Azol civilization was nothing but dust and ruins.

Appearance:

Very little information about the Azol exists today. All that is known about their appearance is that they were tall and slender humanoids, had chitinous bodies with long horns cybernetic enhancements, and had three eyes. The single image of an azol shows an unknown sphere levitating above the azol's right hand, but the purpose of this device remains unknown. The same azol doesn not appear to wear any clothes, but it is unknown if this held true for the entire species.

The Azol Civilization:

Nobody knows what happened to the Azol. When first discovered their galaxy was filled with barren planets and empty space stations, with exception of their partially ruined homeworld. The salvaged remnants that survived to the present day have shown that the Azol lived in an extremely advanced society, rivaling the Empire at its peak. Their culture had a strong emphasis on curiosity and exploration, and had an abhorrence to violence. According to the very limited recovered biological information on the Azol, their minds were incapable of feeling the emotions of anger and fear, creating minds truly alien to the species of the Founder Galaxy.
While exploring the home galaxy of the Azol, the ancient imperial explorers found no other spacefaring species. Sapient life was discovered nine times, but their planets were covered with a powerful shield that prevented the planet's occupants from leaving. Technological analysis showed that the shield generators were likely created by the azol to trap the occupents of the planets on their homes.

Disappearance:

The disappearance of the Azol is one of the Empire's oldest mysteries. While many scholars speculated they were wiped out simultaneously by a virus or another invisible agent, not a single body was found in the galaxy. To explain this, most scholars believe that the Azol simply abandoned their civilization and left. Where they left for remains to be discovered.
