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

Language
The native Ophecian language is rarely spoken on screen even when Ophecians are speaking among themselves but we do know a few words. Govenaux means Government and Nintendo en Toe means Roger and Out. The Earth woman Vera Ray was a translator during an Earth-Ophecius exchange of scientist and had become familiar with Ophecian country and language prior to serving in such a function.

Relations with the United Worlds of the Solar System
The Ophecius Group (a league or perhaps hegemony of planets) came into contact with the United Worlds of the Solar System at some point and established an area of space known as 'the Curtain'. Early relations seemed promising with the United Worlds of the Solar System constructing an Embassy on Ophecius, and the signing of a treaty that established that regardless of allegiance vessels in distress are to be aided by the nearest capable party. The universal distress call of 'Kalypso' was likely established at this time. Relations where smooth enough for an exchange of scientist to take place- but then Ophecius changed it's disposition towards the United Worlds of the Solar System. Ophecius was interested in acquiring a chemical formula devised by Professor Newton but Newton found that the formula did not function the same way it had on Earth when utilizing Ophecian material. This frustrated the Ophecians enough to alter their policy towards Earth and it's allies in the United Worlds of the Solar System. They intimidated Newton into remaining on Ophecius (in a way that staged his desertion) and requested the closure of the United Worlds Embassy. From that point on the Ophecius Group and the United Worlds where at odds. It would not be till the destruction of Ophecius that Ophecians would turn to the United Worlds for assistance again.

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. 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 collided 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 assistant would not take 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 Ophecus and Posita.
