Fiction:Ultraterrestrials

"This is a universe of infinite possibles, and the fantastic is always a plausibility."

- Unknown

Barely anything is known about the race known as the Transapients, Ultraterrestrials, or Inter-Dimensional Beings, but they are believed to have been something similar to an alliance of races who ascended by technological means and became a Tier 0 race some time in the distant past. They are more advanced than the rest of the universe by at least as much as the most advanced non-godraces are than the average pre-spacefaring civilisation, having mastery of spacetime and dimensional engineering and (if rumours are true) are even able to change the laws of physics. They consider less advanced races beneath their notice; their own intelligence, technology and goals are far beyond what they can comprehend.

Overview
The Ultraterrestrials are known by many names, they may or may not be the same species, or they might be related in some way to each other. In the Milky Way and Girdo galaxy, they might be the so called "Baryonic Lords", such as the Xyanxes, or the transcended or the "Sublimed" races such as the Q, Nagilum or the beings Downstream of reality. In the Cyrannus Galaxy, they are known as the Thirteenth Tribe and to the other members of the First Gigaquadrant, the Naucean, Screeble mentioned on ancient artifacts also link to the Ultraterrestrials and in the Sister galaxies Sana and Forma, the "Guardians of Time's Gate".

Each example of these races have similar traits. The technology is sought after by lesser races, even though the scope and advance designs are far beyond the comprehension of all other civilizations. Devices that could change the state of space and time locally, grip over the gravitational constant of entire galaxy clusters, the exploration of different spacetime geometries, configuration space that can warp reality, technology that can work down to the planck level, the ability to transverse the Manifold into other quantum realities and universes with different physical constants. In some of these universes collapse in an instant, in others the atomic nuclei are even more stable, allowing ever more complex forms of life than even the prime universe. To the IDB, most other life forms are beneath their notice.

Artifacts and stories have spread across the First Gigaquadrant of these great races strong enough to challenge even the Omnipotent Four, beyond even the First Ones and Superordinates of the Technoosphere. The fact of the matter is that the universe itself may not yet be old, or rich enough, to allow such civilizations to evolve, or, that in previous era's that seem short to the modern era intelligences, were long lasting for beings that evolved in them. It is likely that most of these point to just one civilization, or intelligence.

Thirteenth Tribe
''By Um2k9

The of the, one of the , were themselves created for a high purpose. They are still seen as gods by many races of Cyrannus. They have a saying, "All of this has happened before... and all of it will happen again." Some scientists have theorised that this may mean that the Tribe exist in a timelike curve. One faction, the, seceded from the rest of the Tribe, showing that the Ultraterrestrials are not entirely united. Like the Xyanxes, much of the information known about them is mythological, and they have left many artifacts spread across Cyrannus.

Xyanxes
''By Ghelae

The Xyanxes of the Girdo Galaxy were one of the greatest civilizations in the universe, and left their mark, notably creating sentient "World Sancturies" that spanned galaxies (which survived in the form of Fahler), constructing wormholes which stretched across the universe, and "Sporehenge", which leads to eleven other dimensions. Not much else is known about them, aand it was believed by many across the universe that they were destroyed by the. Much of what is known is mostly mythological, such as their liking for pink geodes.

Transapients
Shared

The Transapients of the are known by many names, such as "Baryonic Lords", "Q" or "Xeelee". They are possibly derived from the Naucean race, who were said to have existed millions of years ago, but became so advanced that they ascended. They were highly skillfull with both nano- and biotechnology. However, as little trace of them exists today, they are regarded as mythological by many.
