The Squ'ith (known to the Humans of Super-Earth as, The Illuminate) are an aquatic species from the planet Squ'bai Shrine, and they were one of three civilizations which fought the Humans during the First Galactic War.
History[]
The Squ'ith had always known of Humanity, even before the Great War and the formation of Super-Earth, being that they were the origins of Human UFO phenomenon, and they watched in dismay as Humans reached the star not as explorers, but fascist conquerors.
Due to their advanced technology, odd appearance and psychic abilities, they became easy targets for the Super-Earth propaganda machine, who claimed they had weapons of mass destruction, this resulted in the Squ'ith being forced to take up arms for the first time in their interstellar history, after the war, their technology was forcibly taken, and they were banished from the galaxy (though history books in the Federation would say that they were wiped out).
In May 2184, the Squ'ith Dark Fluid technology has been used by Super-Earth to collapse the planet Meridia (home of the Terminid Supercolony) into a black hole, some rumours have spread amongst the Humans that this black hole is actually a wormhole which may allow for the Squ'ith to return to the Milky Way, but these rumours did not hold much fruit for most of that year.
By the end of November, reports of citizens on Super Earth colonies disappearing were on the rise, around that same time, the Ministry of Science concluded that any reports of anomalies around the Meridian Black Hole were little more than delusions, but this didn't prepare anyone for what would happen next.
On December 13th, a vanguard force of Squ'ith returned to the Milky Way, invading the planet Calypso, there they converted the inhabitants into half-Human half-Squ'ith mutants which the Federation of Super Earth has named the Voteless, this has caused them to become another civilisation now involved in what is known as the Second Galactic War.
After three days of fighting, Calypso was returned to the control of Super Earth, a few hours later two more invasions by this vanguard force occurred near-simultaneously on the planets Genesis Prime and Mog, both were soon defended but yet another invasion occurred on the planet Bellatrix, then after Bellatrix was defended, two more attacks began simultaneously on Kerth Secundus and Valmox.
After a several more invasions, the Squ'ith began to use dark energy to move the Meridian Singularity, which would eventually cause the destruction of Angel's Venture and Moradesh.

Biology[]
The Squ'ith have a molluscan humanoid body structure for the most part, bar from their additional arms, each of their arms possesses a hand with three digits on each, and their two legs possess feet-like structures which end in four toes, though they may use these as their primary support, due to their lack of a heel.
Something about their biology gives them psychic abilities.
