"We can no longer remember their real name, but thanks to them, we can travel across the galaxy safely."

The Cold Ones were a race of highly advanced creatures native of the.

History
Much of the Cold Ones' history is a mystery. They evolved in the galaxy's outermost regions, being away from the rest of the other species, and evolved until they became the largest empire of the galaxy.

To expand their influence, the Cold Ones started to create networks of jumpgate arrays, which they would use for interstellar travel. As more species became space-faring, they also started to use the Cold Ones' jumpgates, which they didn't minded, giving them a very good reputation.

When the Grox arrived, the Cold Ones attempted to fight them, but were defeated. In a final attempt to fight them, the Cold Ones used a superweapon of massive proportions which liberated energy through all the galaxy. This energy changed the particles present in some planets, causing them to, after some time, freeze. It is because of this that Borealis has a very large quantity of cold planets.

Eventually, the Cold Ones were wiped out by the Grox. The little that remained from their technology was absorbed into.

Biology
The Cold Ones were a silicon-based species, with two pairs of arms and a pair of legs. Crystal-like formations formed around their sholders and backs. The back crystals were particularly large, having a wing-like structure, but they weren't capable of flight.

The Cold Ones were blind, but could see their surrounding with their antenna.
