XelNaga

The Xel'Naga are a fictional, ancient, and highly advanced alien race central to the lore of the StarCraft real-time strategy video game series. They are depicted as a nomadic people who have traveled the galaxy for millennia, observing and influencing the development of other sentient species. Their name is derived from the Protoss language, meaning "The First Ones."

The Xel'Naga's primary objective was to seed and guide the evolution of life. They are credited with creating both the Protoss and the Zerg, two of the main factions in StarCraft. Their methods involved genetic manipulation and careful nurturing of nascent civilizations, with the ultimate goal of forging a perfect, supreme being through the combination of psionic and physical evolution. This ambition led to the creation of the hybrids, a powerful but unstable fusion of Protoss and Zerg DNA.

For eons, the Xel'Naga remained hidden, their existence known only through myth and legend by the races they influenced. However, their ancient conflict with a powerful entity known as the Void and their internal struggles eventually led to their downfall. The majority of the Xel'Naga were wiped out by their own creations or by their enemies, leaving behind only scattered remnants and a legacy of powerful, often destructive, forces. The few surviving Xel'Naga play a pivotal role in the later installments of the StarCraft saga, seeking to rectify their past mistakes and prevent universal annihilation.
