Paradise Violated
The XontÂ…
The Xont civilization has been discussed, and debated, by other races for centuries. To humans they're considered the galactic equivalent of the ancient earth myth of "Atlantis". Some believe their might've been a Xont race at one time, but wasn't nearly as all powerful as they're made out to be. Supposedly the Xont had vast knowledge and technology before any other race. It was said that only a few Xont could control an entire world. Other than a few oral stories passed down by some races and speculative writings based on those stories, there hasn't been any hard evidence. A lot of stories sound the same, but are conflicting. For example some say they were balls of light while others say they were a race of machines. One story even suggests that they were bacteria with psionic powers. These could all just be accounts of several different spacefarring races that had made contact with different planets in the past, just as things go on today. The method of conquest might vary, but it usually always has the same results. Stories are bound to have similar tones about them. The fall of the Xont civilization also varies, some say they became decadent and were overthrown by their slaves, others say they succumbed to a disease that wiped out the entire race, others say they just disappeared. Nobody knows. A Xont home planet has never been found, but then again the universe is a big place.
Despite all this conjecture, an eye is still kept out by all for signs of Xont technology since surely whatever kept them in control must be powerful indeed.
Personally you don't really buy the idea of any of it, not until you see some solid proof.
