History
The original Canebant were aquatic reptilians at the top of their food chain. There was little to no land (not enough to support large animal life) on Askelous at the time, and so most life was in the oceans.

For reasons unknown, sea levels on Askelous receded somewhat to create one large continent, and the Canebant migrated onto land. There, they also quickly rose to the top of the food chain, and strangely, evolved the capability of eating plant material.

When they were just starting to build tribes, Askelous was practically an deposit, and the Canebant learned to harness this energy for their own usage, eventually being so accustomed to the essence that the ability to utilize it was passed down from parent to child genetically. Their intelligence was also greatly enhanced by the essence.

Not much is known about the Civilization Stage of the Canebant's evolution, except that the nation headed by Imperator Ema'lk'sa took over the planet by diplomatic takeover and the first spaceships were built.

The newly founded Canebant Empire expanded fairly quickly, but remained secretive and developing new technologies. They also experimented with bioengineering, creating the Acithes, their first allies through bioengineering and uplifting them. The Acithes were quickly absorbed into the Empire, when an unknown disease crippled the populace. Upon the Acithes's absorption, the was officially formed. Around this time, a Canebant scientist was tasked to produce a network of AIs and robots that would potentially eliminate the need for actual work and even currency. However for reasons unknown, the scientist destroyed his body and merged his mind with his first creation, creating the conputer-spaceship , meaning Master in Canebantian, and descended into his lair underneath the Imperial Palace on Askelous, heading the machine half of the Collective.
