This has probally been done before, but what the heck.
The Vanu. What we know or don't know and what they could be up to.
1) Ancient Advanced Race that disappeared.
2) We don't know what they look like.
3) Auraxis was "constructed".
4) Terrans conviently found a wormhole that just happened to lead to another "abandoned" planet.
5) Wormhole suddenly without reason dissappeared.
So what happened to them? Possible Theories I thought of (and I'm sure others have as well).
1) The Vanu are actually very evil. They discovered the Terrans and thier war-like past and "created" the planet, tech and wormhole to get the terrans to fight each other and to provide entertainment for themselves.
2) The Vanu were never able to stabalize the wormhole but it does re-appear near thier home-world on a regular cycle. They'll be pissed once they find out that the world they created has been invaded.
3) The Vanu homeworld and/or star it orbited was about to go nova and they created Auraxis as a refugee planet. However, they were incorrect on thier nova calculations and thier race and planet was destroyed before they could begin thier exodus. The supernova caused the worm hole to become unstable and random.
4) While creating the planet, they played God just a bit too far and something very tragic occured whping them out.
5.a) We (terrans) are the Vanu and just don't know it. Humans were once superbly advanced and created Auraxis for future colonization. But back on Terra, something catastrophic occured such as a meteor or super volcano or war that drove Terrans/Vanu technoligically back to the stone age. As time goes on, our history goes beyond explanation by primitive tribal historians and the history begins to take a different shape in order to be explained. This history is misclassified as mythology. Ex. Lost Continet of Atlantis = Lost Planet of Auraxis; Immortality = Spawn Tubes; Greek, Norse, etc. gods = Leaders, Generals, etc. Unreachable places such as Mt. Olympus, Asgard, Garden of Eden = Auraxis an unreachable place for primitive terra.
5.b) As 5.a but with a twist. Terra is not our homeworld. Our homeworld was going to be destroyed by a supernova. Thus we created Auraxis as a temporary refugee camp untill another suitable world to make an "Exodus" was discovered. (Flood stories of Noah and Gilgamesh and other mythology). We discovered and colonized Terra and left Auraxis behind. However, once we got here...some tragedy (as 5.a) occured driving us technologically backwards.
I personally like theory 5. Does anyone know any more or have any other theories?
