Linean Civilization

The Lineans were an ancient alien civilization based in what is now The Great Asteroid Field. They possesed extremely advanced technology, being able to manipulate gateways into the warp field long before humans were. Their homeworld was destroyed in the Linean System Supernova of 2356 and the remanents of the system formed The Great Asteroid Field. After the supernova destroyed the system the surviving Lineans, on an off-system colonization mission, settled in the neighbouring system of Festonia. They lived peacefully until the climate slowly started turning cold, killing all the Lineans in around 57 years.
