The Lemurians were an interplanetary intelligent race in the Milky Way galaxy. It is unknown exactly how widespread their presence across the galaxy was, or even if there are still any active colonies of their fractured empire across the galaxy. Their lasting impact on the Inhabited Universe is their manufactured biodiversity of Gaia and Persephone.

Technology

Creations of the Lemurians are mostly organisms sculpted through a process called Fabrication. A great breadth of tasks from construction to health care were quickly and effectively handled by artificial organisms designed by the Lemurians. Although some abiotic technology has been excavated from Persephone, the most observable legacy of the Lemurians is the flora and fauna of Gaia. These creatures brought enormous wealth to the investors of the 40 Eridani Daedalus 8 voyage, soon forming the economic backbone of the Eridani Trust. Persephone too contains unique organic technology, but its very brief incorporation with the rest of the inhabited universe has not allowed these creatures to diffuse across other worlds.

Genomorph

The Genomorph was designed to make obsolete the entire process of fabrication. It was to be a kind of superorganism with an unprecedentedly vast genome capable of differentiating into any specialization, and to intelligently self-modify its genome to develop new specializations. The Genomorph is understood to be the catalyst for the end of the Lemurian civilisation in the inhabited universe and possibly beyond. From what has been deciphered of Lemurian writing, the Genomorph biotechnology must have achieved a high degree of adoption across the Lemurian civilisation before becoming ubiquitously dangerous, possibly from an infectious pathogen. Dormant colonies of the Genomorph exist on both Gaia and Persephone.
