The Xeelee are a super-advanced species, considered to be the highest of all Baryonic life-forms.
When Humanity became the second most advanced of Baryonic species, their jealousy of the Xeelee led them to engage in massive warfare with the Xeelee that they could not win, and humanity was essentially wiped out as a result.
However, humans were only an annoyance to the Xeelee. Their true struggle was with a Dark Matter race known only as the Photino Birds. However, this war is doomed to failure, as the Photino Birds are extinguishing all the stars in the universe.
Technology
The Xeelee were masters of time and space. They crafted their starships, known as Nightfighters, out of a strange form of matter that seems to break Pauli's Exclusion Principle (Which states that no two electrons of the same atom can be in the same state at the same time). The material is incredibly sharp, hard, and transparent; Due to its unique spacetime construction, it has strange gravitational effects.
The Xeelee have hyperdrive technology, enough to cross galaxies in a short amount of time.
Ring
The Xeelee's greatest achievement-- possibly the greatest structure of Baryonic matter ever constructed-- is the Ring, a gigantic loop constructed of superstrings, hundreds of light-years across and spinning rapidly. Because of its intense gravitation and spinning, it creates a tear in the universe at its center. Ships entering the tear will leave the universe and enter a different one.
