Sentinels

The Sentinels -

Once the greatest and most powerful species in the Galaxy. The Sentinels are all but a memory. Their race managed to escape a great cataclysm that overcame their people. In fear these being transfered their physical minds into data. They transfered this date into the Sentinel rings which now dot the Galaxy.

Sentinel Apperance and Culture-

All that is left of the Sentinels couldn't fill a warehouse. Their entire culture was lost when the Cataclysm overcame the Galaxy. The only items that remain of their civilization are a few small ruins dotting dead worlds.

The largest structure still known of the Sentinels is the Data Transferance Device. This is located on Aegis Prime. The device is the size of a small house and has no control panel. it is simply and empty room that when studied allowed people to discover Dark Void Technology. This allowed for quick instant space travel and ushered in a new era in the Galaxy.

Datasphere - The Dataspheres are some of the only remaining signs of the Sentinel presence. They are sphere's ranging from the size of a small house to a basket ball. They are a metallic silver and have a mirror like shine even after the centuries they've existed. They sit on four powerful mechanical legs which they use to move across many terrains. Each leg has a round foot with four thick clasping toes which allow excellent traction. The "Front" of the machines is distinguished by a round indentation with a ring of red lights and a central "eye". The Dataspheres are located across many worlds and have been seen with a hive like mind. The smaller Spheres will rush to larger ones when danger is present.
 * It is unknown why these spheres show fear. They are nearly indestructable and pose no threat to any other living creature. their entire sphereical body is seemless. The legs joins are so well tightly constructed that it is air tight. The eyes on the front of these machines are protected by a Dark Void Feild. This prevents even teh smallest dust particles from touching the lenses.
 * Dataspheres hold the conscious minds of Sentinels who were unable to be transfered to the Sentinel Gates. These "minds" have been classified as artificial intellegence sense they don't seem to speak with anyone. The only show interest in exmaining new items and enviroments. Their fuel source unknown and they are protected by Intergalactic law.

Sentinel Gates - The Sentinel Gates are massive rings located near the edges of Solar Syestems. they are vertical rings that have a blue arua along the center of the circle. The space inside the circle looks like a black hole a darkness stretching on forever. Sentinel gates seem to be made completely of stone and like Dataspheres are completely seemless. They have smal groove along them which glow blue acting as signals.
 * These rings are massive by nature stretching two miles in diameter. They are powered by the Sentinels power of Dark Void Enegy. By compressing dark matter the Sentinels made wormholes that can transfer matter across the galaxy in a few hours rather than millions of years. Through stict control of the dark matters compression the worm holes have been made safe for organic life to pass through.
 * The bulk of the Sentinel race are loaded onto these rings. They can transfer themselves to different rings like data to different servers. When in warp ships have reported strange electrical interferance in many syestems. This has been called the Sentinel Paradox. It is when a Sentinel uploads itself onto the ships computers and studies its filies. Since the Sentinels have no interest in war or fighting ships simply wait for the Sentinel to leave on its own accord. Sentinels only stay for a few seconds before leaving
 * Sentinel Gates have a select memory of friend and foe. Those who the Sentinels consider a threat to the galaxy they will deny use of their gates. However peaceful ships will be allowed to move through them with no hinderance.
