The Watchers are a vastly powerful, ancient extraterrestrial race who untold eons ago undertook the task of passively observing the phenomena of the universe. Their home-world is an unnamed world in an unknown solar system in a galaxy other than the Milky Way. This world is covered with lush vegetation and bears no signs of intelligence life or habitation. None of the Watchers live on their home-world anymore, having taken up permanent residence in other parts of the solar systems which they have elected to quietly observe. Only on rare occasions have the Watchers reconvened on their home-world. They use their advanced technology to construct temporary dwellings which they disassemble after use. It is unknown if the planet the Watchers called their home-world is truly their planet of origin. If true, the age of the race would be relatively young in cosmic terms, a fraction of the lifespan of a single solar system still in the main sequence of its existence. Since the Watchers are scattered across the universe, it is impossible to determine how many of them exist.
