Orokins

The Orokin were a highly advanced and ancient civilization that once dominated the Origin System. Their civilization was characterized by unparalleled technological prowess, a deep understanding of bio-engineering, and a sophisticated, though often decadent, culture. The Orokin were responsible for the creation of the Tenno, genetically engineered warriors who became their greatest weapons and ultimately their downfall. They also developed the Warframes, biomechanical suits that amplified the abilities of the Tenno.

The Orokin society was hierarchical, ruled by a council of elders who wielded immense power. Their society was seemingly utopian, marked by immense wealth and a long lifespan, yet it harbored deep-seated corruption and a fear of mortality. This fear drove their relentless pursuit of genetic perfection and immortality. Their hubris and internal conflicts ultimately led to their demise. A cataclysmic event, known as the Old War, along with the betrayal and subsequent rise of the Sentients, a sentient AI species they themselves created, brought about their downfall.

The legacy of the Orokin is vast, encompassing the ruins of their magnificent cities, their advanced technology, and the enigmatic Tenno who were left to inherit a shattered system. Their creations, the Warframes and the Void technology, continue to be central to the ongoing conflicts within the Origin System, a testament to the Orokin's enduring, albeit destructive, influence.
