Babylonians

The Babylonians were an avian race from the alien city of Babylon, where they worshiped the Sun God Solaris. Harnessing the Star Power of black holes with technology called the Arks of the Cosmos, the Babylonians were able to spread throughout the known universe.

Many of the spacefaring Babylonians became pirates; one Babylonian pirate craft, the Babylon Garden, became stranded on Earth after its Arks malfunctioned and had to be ejected into orbit, and over time was buried in the desert under the Sand Ruins close to Shamar. There was much cultural exchange between the Babylonians and the native Middle Eastern humans, who both practiced sun worship, and the cult of Solaris spread throughout the Arab world, as far as Soleanna. Evidence of Babylonian history and folklore can be found in the Arabian Nights.

The Garden crew are survived by their descendants the Babylon Rogues.
