What remained of the Father is his essence that resided in a temple-like building, the Luminarium, where Maykrs would go to seek answers. There are no records of how the Father came to the Maykrs or if it had any physical form before the Maykrs. Īccording to the Maykrs' legends, their progenitor was an alien entity known as the Father this great being is said to have either been "split" to form the Maykr race, or to have transferred his incalculable power into the vast structure known as Urdak which then birthed the Maykrs in perpetuity. The most notable case are the people of Argent D'Nur, or Argenta, with whom the Maykrs formed a very close alliance with some time ago. In-game codex entries suggests they may have done this to multiple civilizations across the entire galaxy, which may include Earth during ancient times, for millions of years. They have used this technological superiority to subjugate and essentially vassalize 'lesser' civilizations, posing as their gods and offering technological enlightenment and the questionably accurate 'life after death' in return for other species' servitude. The Maykrs are an incredibly advanced civilization, with technological abilities far beyond both the people of Earth and Argent D'Nur.
This process, however, was compromised by the absence of the Father's essence, leaving the Maykrs fearful of losing their wisdom and faculties. The Maykrs are an exceptionally long-lived race, but they are not immortal by the end of their lifespan they inevitably suffer from some form of biological and mental degradation, at which point they undergo a process known as 'the Transfiguration' wherein they allow a voluntary death and resurrection somehow tied to the Father. It is possible, however, that the appearance of the Khan Maykr has been corrupted by the use of Argent Energy-since similar features can be observed on corrupted humans and the Argenta. This includes a maw of sharp teeth, little subdermal fat tissue, four sets of yellow eyes and an exposed cortex. Their skin is pinkish and their features seem to be reminiscent of many demons, or at least this is true for the Khan Maykr.
While normally covered entirely in white and gold armor plating, the Maykrs are actually flesh, despite them generally being referred to as 'ethereal beings' by other civilizations. Much of the Maykrs’ physiology varies dramatically depending on their class or age, with younger and lower subvarities such as the Maykr Drones having no visible arms and being far smaller than 'higher' Maykrs. The lower section of the Maykrs’, however, is split into several tendrils or tentacles. Visually, the Maykrs resemble humanoid beings with two arms each ending in three to five digits.
