Phyrenia

History
Originally an agriculture-based civilization, the Phyrenians were a peaceful species. They unearthed a mysterious machine which turned out to be the Phyrex, a world engine capable of converting any living thing or machine into a part-machine, part-organism slave. Phyrenia soon was consumed and became the lair of the Phyrex until the Moria brought the engine of death to earth. The Phyrex landed in an uninhabited part of Antarctica, but it soon spread its influence to various regions of the world. It is still building up its thralls for the takeover of Earth.
