The Animagium Galaxy was created by some omniscient 8Xs beings who had evolved to the point of not relying much on technology, and out of curiosity, and exploration of Evolution, created an entire Galaxy from mineral/energy stores and molecular formatting, and seeded it with 1000s of sentient races, and quadrillions of non-sentient races, and two million years into this, in around 1750 AD, one of the races, Quillarion, attained Warp Travel.
