Zivern

The Zivern were a spacefaring race of similar technological level to humanity. They were seemingly wiped out and left behind a memorial on one of their colony worlds that would transmit a database about their entire history to those who visited. The Zivern were one of the numerous Scryve rival species that pop up about once a century and the Scryve tried to destroy them immediately upon meeting them. The Zivern managed to maintain a defence however and even found like minded aliens to assist them in their war. The Zivern never managed to figure out what motivation the Scryve had for killing them, beyond cryptic mentions of being a peer. Their ships were called the Zivern Strikers.
