Hello, Argentinean.

Hello to all new members, welcome in here.

.... and to the Shivans. I said about them in the Shivans topic though can repeat as I see it.
They could been created by an uknown race (but not by the Ancients, that`s for sure) probably as some kind of the fighting force, prepared for the hardest battle conditions and not interessed in conquest as much as in the fight or gaining the domination.
Maybe, they served as protectors and their creator lost control over them loooooong long time ago?
I think it is one of the mysteries which are not to be resolved.

I agree they must think in the other way.
And doubt if they know their origin.
And doubt if the Shivans would agree with this post

The Ancients discovered subspace 8 thousand or more years before The Great War. They conquered planets and species wholesale and went on for quite a while expanding in as many directions as possible.

Their subspace technology was quite advanced, however, their weapons and defensive systems were not nearly as advanced and only about as good as the GTA's weapons when they first met the Shivans.

They, unlike the Terrans and Vasudands, did not adapt to the Shivan threat very well. They fought them and had little sucess against them. Ultimately, a Lucifer class destroyer eliminated their fleets and destroyed the surface of their planet. This was 100% genocide on the part of the Shivans.

Hey dude, welcome to the boards! Those are pics I had "rendered" a few months ago, according to the spoken dialogs in the FS1 Ancient cutscenes. The text is completely canon (official), and the visual settings are taken from the cutscene settings as well, just spiffed up a bit.

Now...if you guys read that properly then you can note that nowhere does it read: "Ancients = SUPAR POWERFUL!!11!"

They were totally wiped out by the Shivans with probably less resistance than the GTA/PVE was...although over a much greater area of space.
