I like the idea of a human-esq proginator race who seeded just about every habitable planet with thier own highyl adaptive dna as a sort of experiment. I also like the idea that they left scatterd caches of nigh-incomprehensibly advanced tech (like stargate: atlantis). Course then if these proginators are absent what happened to them? a dark ages collapse of empire? a plauge? did they just die out? or did an older more terrifying power destroy them?Another fun aspect to look into is "aliens" being long lost/genetically alterd/divergent evolution humans. Like moreous founding thier own colony that is then forgotten for centuries and left to flourish on thier own. man I need to give form to this setting that is floating around in my head  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> .Addendum: as far as the horde of hostile alien bugs being cliched I am pretty sure that sort of idea was around before Aliens (I think starship troopers book was published before, but I am not quite sure). Also I see it as a logical progression when one looks at hive insects like bees or ants, but thats me.</blockquote>
