Lore:Vanu

The  are an ancient alien race that once lived on Auraxis. They are the self-same race worshipped by the Vanu Sovereignty, their existence discovered by the cult's former leader Henry Briggs in the Sol system prior to the expedition through the wormhole.

The fate of the Vanu is currently unknown, though their relics' penchant for telepathic communication with those that touch them implies they may have ascended to some higher form, a belief shared by the Vanu Sovereignty who pursue the idea of this same enlightment.

The only person to have ever had any sort of correspondence with this presumably extinct race is Henry Briggs, who experienced visions and voices when touching a certain Vanu relic, a doll found in the Moon Belt by him and Thomas Connery.
