SciFiVerse- The Ysirian Civilization

The Ysirians
The Ysirians were bipedal, invertebrate beings, who stood at around 7'6" ft and 235 lbs.

And then with the Era of Virtualization? Came change.

The Ysirian Androids are bipedal bots, standing at 8'0" and 2 tons. They lack hair. Their chassis only exhibits color based on need- generally only holding a black hue to it. Require electric energy or similar energies to survive. Robotics-provided immortality.

Their History
The Ysirians have long since been a people who fancied expansion and being the dominant civilization- and until the Era of Virtualization, they were kind of assholes. They were a self-centered race, focused on securing their spot in the Galactic Community, and becoming extremely powerful. They weren't necessarily hostile or evil, however; simply put, they did what they felt they had to.

For 70-80 years, they reigned in their sector as a dominant influence and military power, until they came into contact with someone who could finally stand up to their incessant badgering- the Xorgan Armada.

A swift war took place, and the Ysirians were showed their place; but a select few survived extinction, and through the miraculous works of those few, the Ysirians came back- but not in the flesh, but in the form of a metallic chassis. This granted them an advantage in terms of livability and basic functions, and they won their land back- and for the past thousand years, have been dedicated to restoring themselves to their previous glory; recovering past artifacts, technologies, and making up for their past sins. Their people have learned their lesson and have been eternally humbled- though they seek to preserve themselves above all else, they will lend a helping hand now if they feel someone needs it.
