The protogen, discriminatorily referred as the "Robotic furries" by more then half of the galactic, are a species of artificial bio-cybernetic beings from an ancient, distant past of the Galaxy's history. Created by beings known as the primagens for intergalactic exploration and foot soldiers against organic life that threatened the planet of Primus. However sometime the protogen rebelled against their primagen overlords, and becoming an free-willing, nomadic species.
