Aridath

Aridath or Arideth are an ancient species, better known as the Architects or the Celestials. Their name translates as "Keeper of Light" in their tongue in the full rendering of "Ari'deth'an".

Overview
Much of their history is lost to time; however, it is well known through other species' records and the artifacts they left behind that they used to have a galaxy-spanning empire, only defeated by the Rakatan Infinite Empire in 50,000 BBY. Responsible for many marvels of the galaxy, they created the Corellian system. Only one survivor after 25,000 BBY is known to the galaxy; however, rumors persist among the few who know about the existence of this mysterious species that somewhere outside the Galaxy there is a Celestial Remnant.

Characteristics
"I'm older than some star systems.... My species isn't well known for leniency. Ever heard of the Celestials? had a gigantic, galaxy-spanning empire for over a hundred thousand standard years? yeah. Those guys. I'm one of them."

- Jur'ak D'aghar

Because only one member has survived to modern times, he is the only one to go on; however, it is known he is a shapeshifter, has grey skin, and has lived for well over 27,000 years with the physical appearance of a 27-year-old human with grey skin and grey hair and astonishingly fast reflexes and strength far beyond that of a human.
