The Pergue were a race that existed thousands of years ago.
Roughly 13,000 BCE, the Pergue tried to terraform Syrenya and make it habitable, but the effort was an utter failure.
However, the Pergue also held Orions in slavery by the Treaty of Kammzdast. After the Orions managed to repair their homeworld of Botchok during the First Stage (concluding in 7730 BCE, reference stardate −97/30), the impressed Pergue imported Orion slaves to terraform Syrenya for them, through the Syrenya Development Company. The planet reached a self-stabilizing phase around 4800 BCE (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge).
