Aehr

<-- Back to Sophonts The Aehr of Arcairion are one of the two oldest known post-Silence species in the Orranysi galaxy (the other being the Thyorans of Thyor). They are, effectively, the benevolent overlords of the galaxy; while this may seem shocking and unfair to those not familiar with the species or the galactic political structure, this scenario is actually the best thing possible for peace and freedom in the galaxy. The Aehr essentially allow the worlds of the galaxy to operate as they please, so long as all follow the Obligation set down by the original Foundation committee to preserve life, liberty, culture, peace, and harmony throughout the known galaxy.

The Aehr, combined with the Thyorans, are the most technologically advanced non-Archaic race in the known universe, averaging at tech level 19. Post-ToL, the Aehr made the decision to use their technology to leave the Universe and explore Eternity, effectively becoming a Level 20 species (and over time becoming another race of Drifters).
