==History==
==History==
The Preservers were a largely unknown civilization. Due to the absence of any reliable data, it has been theorized that they deliberately wiped out all traces of themselves. It wasn't even certain if they themselves were humanoid or had chosen to spread that form for some unknown reason.
The Preservers were a largely unknown civilization, having lived millions of years ago. It was known that they lived in the Rimward end of the Orion Arm, and they were believed to have seeded worlds on all sides of the Arm with humanoid life. As the historical record of earlier times indicates that the humanoid form was never as common as it was after the Preservers, it was supposed that they were laying the groundwork for humanoid mastery of that area of space.

It has been theorized that the Preservers were preceded by the "seeders", the group that placed humanoid life throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. Furthermore, the collective history of their society was stated to have spanned in excess of 2 billion years and thus made them one of the oldest corporeal species in the galaxy.

The planet was successfully expanded with the help of Bart Faulwell, the USS da Vinci's linguist. The pyramid shaped device proceeded to reshape the entire star system as well, moving a number of gas giants into more stable orbits that would not negatively impact the Koa homeworld, quite blatantly demonstrating the level of their engineering achievements.

One of the worlds seeded by the Preservers was Defera, home of the [[Deferi]]. The relics and ruins left behind by the Preservers in Deferi space were sought after by the [[Breen]]. In 2409, when Starfleet interfered to protect the Deferi, they uncovered clues about the Preservers which would lead to the discovery of the Preserver Archive.
When they discovered the Archive, it was learned that a few hundred of the Preservers were still alive inside the Archive, "asleep" for many thousands of years. They had placed themselves into stasis, waiting for some of their descendants to find them and reawaken them. It was at this time that it was revealed that they were not only humanoid, but that they were the same race as the Progenitors.
