The Hemblicites were an extinct species who once presided over a great empire.
History[]
Roughly 70,000 - 50,000 years prior to the 25th century, the Hemblicites had a vast empire in the Milky Way but eventually went extinct, leaving tombs scattered across the galaxy.
By the time the Planetary Union had risen, their archeologists had never breached a tomb. In 2422, the USS Orville discovered a tomb and became the first ship to open one. Among the artifacts they found was a DNA sample, one that allowed Charly Burke to extrapolate what a Hemblicite might look like.[1]
Culture[]
Charly Burke compares the Hemblicites to the ancient Egyptians, since they bury their dead in elaborate pyramids filled with items that the deceased might need in the afterlife.[1]
