"My kind navigates spacetime in conjunction with bio-mechanical vessels, altered and evolved over time to serve our needs"

―Al-An, the only known living Architect

The Architects (name given by Alterra) were an advanced, ancient space-faring race who arrived on Planet 4546B 1000 years prior to the events of Subnautica in search of a solution to cure the infamous Kharaa bacterium. The Architects are almost 100% mystery, however a Data Bank entry claims that a ninety-six year old individual is considered to be very young, and the same individual was later described at the age of seven-hundred and eight. Architects are/were (presumably) much larger creatures than humans due to the sheer size of the rooms in their bases, and most objects within. It is probably that the Architects were bio mechanical entities.

The Architects were clearly an extremely advanced race; Much more than humans. They had the capability to travel across galaxies, implying incredibly advanced spacecraft and propulsion technologies. They had the technology to create robotic drones that could survive in severely heated areas, teleporters and a weapon capable of destroying huge ships (such as the Aurora). They also had the capability to produce bio mechanical lifeforms, presumably through advanced gene engineering. Architects technology requires "keys" or "artifacts" to open certain force-field gateways via an Artifact Terminal.

Kharaa Plague

The Architects civilization was destroyed by the Kharaa, a bacterium that spread quickly to many Architects worlds and causes sickness and death. Billions of Architects died, although seemed to have the technology to store their consciousness digitally before death. ^[1]

Planet 4546B

Planet 4546B was designated as a Disease Research Facility planet. The Kharaa was tested on local species hoping one would show resistance to the bacteria.

Extreme safeguards were put in place to prevent the spread of the Kharaa off world if it ever leaked into the local ecosystem. The Quarantine Enforcement Platform (QEP) is a colossal Architects super weapon designed to destroy any unauthorized spacecraft from entering or leaving Planet 4546B's atmosphere. Architects also created a synthetic race, known as "Warpers" or "Self-Warping Quarantine Enforcer Units". These self-teleporting bio-mechanical creatures were advanced enough to track and kill all fauna in advanced stages of Kharaa infection.

Other structures on 4546B include the Thermal Power Generator (PTPG), A base situated in the Active Lava Zone, which draws power from the nearby lava to power Architects structures. And the Primary Containment Facility (PCF), an aquarium that contains the Sea Emperor Leviathan, a creature which is immune to the Kharaa.

-The Precursors were an advanced, ancient space-faring race who arrived on Planet 4546B 1000 years prior to the events of Subnautica in search of a solution to cure the infamous Carar virus. Precursors are almost 100% mystery, however a Data Bank entry claims that ninety-six years old is seen as young for a Precursor. It was also mentioned that Precursor young were grown from seeds, implying plantoid or fungoid biology. Precursors are/were (presumably) much larger creatures than humans due to the sheer size of the rooms in their bases, and most objects within. It is possible that the Precursors were biomechanical entities, however, due to the fact that a (possibly) ordinary bacterium could affect them may disprove this theory.

+The Architects (name given by [[w:c:subnautica:Alterra|Alterra]]) were an advanced, ancient space-faring race who arrived on Planet 4546B 1000 years prior to the events of '''Subnautica''' in search of a solution to cure the infamous [[Kharaa]] bacterium. The Architects are almost 100% mystery, however a Data Bank entry claims that a ninety-six year old individual is considered to be very young, and the same individual was later described at the age of seven-hundred and eight. Architects are/were (presumably) much larger creatures than humans due to the sheer size of the rooms in their bases, and most objects within.

-The Precursors on Planet 4546B were most probably wiped out by Carar, a bacterium which is dangerously common in Planet 4546B. In an attempt to prevent their impending demise, the Precursors created a synthetic race, known in Subnautica as "Warpers" or Self-Warping "Quarantine Enforcer Units". These self-teleporting bio-mechanical creatures were advanced enough to track and kill all fauna in advanced stages of Carar. This may suggest that Carar is contagious.

-Precursor technology requires "keys" or "artifacts" to open certain forcefield gateways via an Artifact Terminal. This is first introduced at the Quarantine Enforcement Platform (QEP); a colossal Precursor superweapon designed to destroy any unauthorized spacecraft from entering Planet 4546B's atmosphere.

-The QEP is seen in action in the Sunbeam story event when the Sunbeam is seen entering Planet 4546B's atmosphere. Just after noticing the player the QEP immediately blows up the Sunbeam with a devastating green laser. It is later found out in a Data Terminal inside the QEP that the Precursors considered Planet 4546B under quarantine, hence the name of the gun.

-on Planet 4546B. It contains teleporters and an aquarium where the Precursors stored the Sea Emperor, a creature which was immune to Carar, prior to its escape. This may have been part of the cause of the Precursors' extinction.
