ITT: Races that Are Literally Veeky Forums

Am I supposed to recognize this?
Is it those simulation ammonia-based aliens from Orion's Arm?
Matthew Thompson
Not OP, but yep, that's the Muuh. And they are very Veeky Forums.

Never made sense to me why other species/civs in Orion's Arm didn't get as into gengineering themselves into fantastical forms as Terragens did.

My favorite OA xenosophont race:
>Alien species first discovered in the neutron star KJEI-54-458945 in the Einstein's Revenge Cluster. They consist of knots of the vortex and charge tubes in the neutronium mantle of the neutron star; each individual is a few centimetres across and lives on soliton waves and neutrino flows. They are based on nuclear matter processes, acting naturally on the femtosecond timescale and have nuclear matter manipulation abilities. The Einstein's Revenge Cluster consists of 34 neutron stars, apparently the result of timed supernovas several hundred million years ago. It is unknown if they were caused by the Knots or some species which created the Knots, but all neutron stars are inhabited by different versions of the Knots.
>The Knots appear to have a largely non-material culture where the basis of interaction is trade in self, orthodoxy and authentic noise (?) according to the communication attempts that have been undertaken by various interstellar institutes. Knots appear to view the world as an eternal unchanging structure, where they just play out its logical unfolding in order to cause their existence (?). Most contact attempts have failed, as the Knots consider the world outside the neutronium a highly abstract mathematical problem rather than something to interact with.

Mostly because xenosophont civs who had such a tech level were destroyed a long time ago, stagnated and their culture became one of eternal reccurence or became so advanced that a entire galaxy was convereted for their uses and they took metric forms.

There is a defunct tabletop game that had a race called the Therans or something. They were post singularity humans that fLee around the universe in Dyson spheres and the ones that showed up in the game were their equivalent of basement dwelling neets obsessed with wargames, which is what the world ending apocalyptic wars were because lol immortality. Seriously one of them invented teleportation just to boost her kill/death ratio in 1v1 arena matches.

What does that mean, though?
Jason Wood
Therians from AT-43 were a fun bunch.

Is this Saruthi from Inquisitor wh40k series?
