Ophecians are the Humanoid natives of the now destroyed planet Ophecius.

History
The Ophecian government was highly independent and refused membership in the United Worlds; a federation of planets joined for their common welfare and security. Shortly after first contact was made with the Suzerain (Upper Sovereign) of Ophecius it became illegal for citizens to contact aliens (none Ophecians), even possessing an interplanetary radio became illegal. Yet individual Ophecians, curious about worlds beyond their own did so despite the punishment that would befall them if caught. The Ophecians quickly became the United World's number one threat next to piracy as the Ophecians did their best to disrupt the United Worlds for concern that the United Worlds would take their sovereignty even though the United Worlds guarantees that the individual character of the member planets will be maintained. One of their most common tactics was to turn people in the United Worlds against one another either through promises of power or at times mind control. When these methods failed the Ophecians resorted to impersonating officials. This conflict (which never erupted into full scale war) came to an end when the runaway planet of Posita colidded with Ophecius. The Ophecians where warned a head of time, as too where the people of the planet Posita. When Ophecius received word of this impeding doom Suzerain Cleolanta devised a plan to destroy Posita before it reached Ophecius. Her military adviser suggested the planet be destroyed after Posita evacuated it's people, but Cleolanta realized that by then debris from Posita would still impact Ophecius ordered an attack on Posita well before it could cause any harm. The United Worlds attempted reasoning with Cleolanta but ended up having to disable her ship and return her to Ophecius where the United Worlds, with assistance from Ophecian military and civil authorities began an evacuation of the planet. Cleolanta refused to go but one of her assistance wasn't taking no for an answer and brought her forcefully to the evacuation ships. Moments latter Ophecius was destroyed; Cleolanta was emotionally crushed- what did she rule now? She expressed this to those around her finding herself weak for the first time in many years. To the surprise of many the leader of Posita came to her side and expressed that both of their people are in the same situation- both have lost their homeworld- but a nation is not made of land alone. He expressed that Cleolanta has a people to lead- people who have just lost the life they once knew- people who need a leader to guide them through this time of lose. Then, for the first time, Cleolanta accepted help from the United Worlds- help in finding a new home for the people of Ophecious and Posita.
