Cybrex

The Cybrex are a race cybernetic organisms hailing from the ring world of cybrex alpha. Humanoid in appearance, The cybrex are connected in some sort of group consciousness to better share information.

600,000 years ago the cybrex were made sentient by their creators, the Kuur. This launched a devastating but brief civil war in which the Kuur were wiped out. They then set out on a crusade to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy. At one point in time the arrive at the Indimak home planet and began to bombard them. The Indimak offered stiff resistance but ultimately surrendered to Cybrex war forms. Once the invasion was complete they initiated a program that would render the Indimak population extinct in 3 years. This program involved Indimak slaves to assist in the extinction of their species. This program probably split the machine consciousness into to factions: destroy sentients or preserve them. These two factions often did battle with each other both being equal match of each other. Despite this the destroyer faction continued its pursuit to wipe out sapient races. As they expanded the the neighboring races banded together in unsuccessful attempt to curb their expansion. The other faction began to set aside preserves on their machine worlds for organics to live in peace. This worked out for a while but they eventually had to abandon their worlds. In another case one of the factions unknown which one decide to merge organics with cybernetic implants. It seems that the expirement yielded unfavorable results since no cybernetic units were found outside their testing facilities. At one point in time the preserve faction of the cybrex out one their struggle against the destroyer faction and effectively aborted their attempt to cleanse the galaxy of all sentient life. The cybrex eventually retreated back to their home system of cybrex alpha after seventeen years of war. They then isolated themselves for several millennia until the system was rediscovered by an independent explorer. That explorer discovery spread to the empires that fought against the Cybrex who eventually sent a large military force wipe out the perceive threat. What was unusual was that the cybrex offered no resistance as they destroyed their ring system.
