Gem Empire

Overview
The Gem species originated from the precursor race, the Advainas. A group of scientists when trapped in Darkspace, muted into small crystalline entities. To survive this change, they engineered hard-light capabilities into their bodies, which soon morphed into their physiology. At the time of their escape from Darkspace, around the same time as the Advanians, only 4 remained. Minds corrupted, they began the rebirth of the Advainas in the form of the Gem Empire: with those 4 at the head of it all.
