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 another galaxy other than the Milky Way. This world was covered with lush vegetation and bears no signs of inteligence 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 they have elected to quietly observe. Only on rare occasions the Watchers convened 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 their planet of origin. If this was 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 were scattered across the universe, it is impossible to correctly catalog how many of them existed.
