Fiction:Origins of the Criii

Origins of the Criii
The Criii were first discovered by the Antheorga, during the Criii's fledgling steeps into space. The Antheorga's recognized the great military potential in this aggressive, rapidly multiplying, species. The Antheorga gave the Criii several planets, on which they reproduced at an astounding rate. The Criii, however, were recognized as a "lose cannon" and it was agreed that if they should be used, it would be only in moments of great emergency. The Criii agreed to being kept as soldiers for the manipulative Antheorga, they could gain the worlds they conquered, and once the time was right, conquer the Antheorga themselves. However it should be noted that the Antheorga discovered that they were not the first to come to this remote system. The Antheorga discovered artifacts of an apparently disappeared race, one even older than the Antheorga. Several artifacts were discovered throughout the system, including the home world of the Criii.
