U'tua the Gardener brings representatives of the Progenitor Races together on a planet near the Galactic core.The entire lifespan of the species is just short of two million years. Only a few thousand individual Lada survive, and within three centuries after the ending of the war, all the descendants of the survivors are themselves dead. Lasting for nearly two hundred years, the war destroys almost every Lada colony as the species annihilates itself in a blaze of thermonuclear destruction. Within a few million years of each other, the H'ch'wee, Lada, Essver, I'thm, P!k, Mmesti, Krang, and Pua (collectively referred to by later civilizations as the Progenitor Races) evolve, build technological societies, discover space flight, and begin exploring the Milky Way Galaxy.They begin their despoiling of the universe. The Old Ones, a race of alien "space gods" of great power and even greater malice, enter this dimension from somewhere outside.Like U'tua the Gardener, they formed from the basic stuff of the universe rather than having evolved on a planet.
