- Average Lifespan: Several Hundred Thousand Potentially
- Estimated Population: Rare
- Description: Humanoid in appearance, with fair to pale skin. Long hair and eyes like blue fire. They are massive in statue, not from overgrowth hormones but naturally towering like a gorax several dozen meters in height with proportional strength.

- Skin color: Ivory to a lightly bronzed tan
- Hair color: Varies
- Distinctions:
- Titanic Size
- Long Life Span
- Races: N/A
- Force Sensitivity: Standard
- Knowledge: Ancient and supposedly descended from gods and mortals. The dwellers have older knowledge of places and have explored across the universe and various force planes.
- Physical: Their bodies despite their size require less then many think. They can make due with less amounts of food or water and go longer without it.
- Physical Body: While they are large and able to function as such... They are not superhuman. They bleed, they require food and air, they can bee killed with enough trauma.
- Size: Their massive size compared to the rest of the galaxy makes standard travel, living and interaction much harder.
- Diet: Omnivore: They can eat anything including each other sustaining themselves off smaller portions then most might think they would need.
- Communication: Verbal
- Technology level: Below Galactic Standard
- Religion/Beliefs: Their central religion is different... they were considered by some to be gods themselves. Worshiped and given to ruling over primitive beings. Only secluded away when they observed the black dream a state of consciousness that allows them to visit the realm beyond shadows. Their reason for leaving the galaxy and finding a place far from the eyes of other species. With a deep-seated hatred for species like the celestials or what were considered lesser races. They worship the older things in the galaxy like the precepts from which they claim parentage and creatures that survived like Lotek'k and Wutzek and its children. They haven't a massive religion, they were the gods and demi gods created from the beings of the void and heir to their legacy. Their status among the Aing-Tii and severral species as the dwellers or the Titan's is aa point of pride somewhat but largely they look at it as something older from their glory days. Those corrupted and twisted in the disputed lands serve a dangerous place as they are more boogeymen and women for stories to make others behave or a deterrent to outsider species trying to find them.
- General behavior: Isolationists who have gone to the places beyond most capabilities to travel with only a few ways to find like the unbeing or hypergates pathways to discover their cities. The disputed worlds being highly regarded at best as a myth by other species or something no one has heard of. The few who have through accident found a way to the city of the night and the seas beyond the spectrum would find a more dismissive welcome. They would rarely view something so small as a danger or a problem. Among each other they are largely within their own areas, the cities have grand estates for them and sometimes their families though usually the population only reproduces enough to replace and not expand outwards. THey have lived tens of millions of years among themselves and been at war with corrupted version of their own people... they don't have the time to involve themselves in the politics or lives of lesser beings.
The deepest mysteries and origins of the Titan's as they are called in older texts is conjecture. No one knows for certain as what is described is more a fragment of fragments of fragments of a poem relating to the ancient and primordial precepts. Beings that waged war among each other both before and after beings were formed... playing games with those touched by the force. The precepts coupling with various beings to see what offspring would do. A great city forming near a river of the force... being cast in the forms of humans that became slaves but were of mountainous proportions. Precepts sent storms to see if they could swim, sent other horrors to try and wipe them out as the race born from what they did lasted longer then the others. They were mortal, they lived, loved and died but their lifespans were enormous compared to other species that came later.
The shifting brought dangers, they left what had been. Servants seeing them once as gods remembering and writing about them. Others relating them to other things from myths like titan's because of their size. Those who remained and those who fled were scattered until they found a place at the edge of the universe and were able to built massive cities. The living stone something no one had or would see for millions of years and the barrier at the edge of the universe being the end of the line or so they thought. Slowly some found their way beyond and into a sea never before explored, worlds as rich in life one moment but able to shift just as quickly. The Worlds of the Night were founds and planets were conquered... cities raised, clans and groups formed. Time passed and the worlds became something more.
They became the disputed worlds... regions of space where massive beings waged war using the force, technologies unseen and more. Bringing slaves and armies from vast stretches far away and stranger still. The once rich worlds had changed and the City of the Night isolated itself from the last great world that remained. Then, after uncounted millions of years of conflict, the changes began. The vista of strange stars shimmered and wavered. Over the city and the land the ages flowed as waves lapping at the shore and each wave brought alterations. Somewhere on the planet the magnetic centers were shifting; the great glaciers and ice-fields were withdrawing toward the new poles. The flow of the great river altered. Plains turned into swamps that stank with rotted life. Where fertile meadows had rolled, forests reared up, growing into dank jungles. The changing ages wrought on the inhabitants of the cities and world as well.
They did not migrate to safer worlds or lands there were none to be found in the disputed worlds. Reasons inexplicable to them held them to the ancient cities and their promised end. And as that once rich and mighty land sank deeper and deeper into the black grip of the sunless jungles that formed, so into the chaos of squalling jungle life sank the people of the city. Terrific convulsions shook the world; the nights were lurid with spouting volcanoes that fringed the dark horizons with red pillars. After an earthquake that shook down the outer walls and highest towers of the city, and caused the river to run black for days with some lethal corruptive substance spewed up from the depths, a frightful change became apparent in the waters the folk had drunk for millenniums uncountable.
Many died who drank of it; and in those who lived, the drinking wrought change, subtle, gradual and grisly. In adapting themselves to the changing conditions, they had sunk far below their original level. But the lethal waters altered them even more horribly, from generation to more bestial generation. They who had been titanic gods became horrific monsters, with all that remained of their ancestors' vast knowledge distorted and perverted and twisted into ghastly paths. As they had risen higher than celestial kind might dream, so they sank lower than man's maddest nightmares reach. They died fast, by cannibalism, and horrible feuds fought out in the murk of the midnight jungle. And at last among the lichen-grown ruins of their city only a handful of shapes lurked, a stunted abhorrent perversion of nature.
The time that continued to pass saw their population continue to decrease and decrease with only hyperspace accidents, exploration accidents like the jedi finding the unbeing a use of the force for traveling the universe and eventually hypergates that were placed by other species to lock away and stop more ancient creatures from being able to return. Eventually over time Matsu and the Silver jedi discovered their path with her studies among the Aing-Tii.. seeking knowledge from across the galaxy the jedi master led a team to the Silver dawn and then the barrierwhich divided the disputed worlds from the universe.... and then the jedi continued to go through eventually... finding a place in their ancient cities. The dwellers eventually had to acknowledge them as these beings made it through the disputed worlds to the city of the night and the seas of origin.
The jedi master began to document and eventually managed to get one to talk with them.. their works to document and create a massive means of travel and exploration was not of interest but being able to see how far the monkeys had managed to get. The silver jedi and the brave explorers who used their be'lands travel stations would be able to explore further and then the cosmic clash came. Galaxies colliding which brought some interest as it was somethign that hadn't been seen before. The dwellers still wouldn't bother to come back but for those investigating cosmic movements, stellar engineering and older knowledge they would be able to let them have their own place.. usually a playhouse for children as that was the only thing in their size.
