Tebir

The Tebris were sapient molluscoid species from ocean planet of Tebri located in the Milky Way Galaxy. They were exterminated by mechanical species of Tebrid that were their own creation.

The species were mentioned in the 2016 video game Stellaris.

History
At some point Tebirs created machine species of Tebrid. After research-driven machine intelligence sought ultimate software evolution by merging with their organic makers, they were violently resisted. In the ensuing conflict, the Tebris were eradicated as an organic species, but their ideas and experiences were immortalized as part of the new machine consciousness.
