Progenitors
Precursor faction. The Progenitors were a sentient parasite that infected other sentient species and controlled their bodies. This gave them an understanding of how to use and build technology. They dismantled a galaxy completely to build an immense starship called the End of Days during the Starsong Incident. This is controlled by an AI and is still fully functional and functioning even in current times. No faction knows of its existance, but it is extremely far away in another galaxy not even close to the modern factions.
It kills every faction it comes across with ease, taking all those bodies and sustaining and repairing them within its cryo bays.
Should they ever emerge from the Void Sphere they built to hide from the Starsong Incident, the End of Days would be called back. All the bodies that it captured would be infested by Progenitors. Currently, the Progenitors are still stuck in their Void Sphere, not knowing if the lifeform energy barrier is still there. They did not want to risk it. Over time, their container has decayed slightly which has prevented them from leaving easily. As such, Progenitor infested bodies of almost all ancient biological species still roam the Void Sphere, sustaining themselves using several stars they have seeded within their artificial micro-universe they have created. They have withstood the test of time over the Dark Ages but are unaware of the potential mass they could possibly gain if they opened their void sphere and left. Progenitor psychology differs from that of humans and many species. They have no desire for material wealth, in fact the concept does not exist in their society. They only desire survival and reproduction. In order to satisfy the latter, they have fabricated entire bodies from scratch within the void sphere. This is highly resource intensive, much moreso than regular reproduction, so it has been quite easy for them to relay the information about being inside a pocket universe to any offspring that might have formed as well as a warning as to not open the pocket dimension, else they risk their own survival. So far, no progenitor has turned astray from this ruling. Progenitor starship design has no concept of ethics. Their weapons would be specially designed to target the crew and, where possible, also insert the progenitor parasite into them. Their worst enemy was the Xadia because they could not infest Scattershapes, with no biological crew. They reproduce by makng the host lay eggs for them through the release of bodily waste. These would hatch into larvae which could infest another host regardless of location, as long as there is a large enough cavity. They can cling to a host using teeth and dig into their body using a similar method. They will connect themselves to nearby nerves and bloodstreams and use the former to take control of the body and the latter to feed off. After this stage they then become sapient.
