User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Essean Aristocracy

The Essean Aristocracy, (Latin: Celebrus Mortuus, meaning Respected Dead ), better known as the Forerunners by nearly all sentient species of the Milky Way Galaxy, is a long dead species that held the title of Mantle or Guardianship over the Milky Way Galaxy as granted by the mythological Precusors. Although enlightened and highly advanced technological race, the Essean's were forced to wipe out all sentinent life from the Milky Way after a three hundred year-long war with a species of highly virulent parasitic organisms called the Flood. The Essean's legacy can be seen across the galaxy as many relics and artifacts can be seen on nearly every planet and nearly every star system.
