The Empires
The Maian Herd
Basically herbivorous herd dinosaurs transplanted from Earth a hundred million or so years ago to a new world and modified for greater intelligence:
The dominant species of the planet/system known as Home are not native to it, but one could be forgiven for not knowing that. Some hundred million Terran years ago a race known only as The Elders visited the third planet of a modestly sized yellow sun in the western spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy, it was notable at the time for the rarest thing in the universe, life, in the form of megafauna and their assorted relatives. The Elders took a great many samples, and then departed, stopping only to nudge a large asteroid into a slightly different orbit.
The next system they stopped in became Home, it didn't originally posses a life bearing planet but that was of no consequence to the Elders, who simply made one themselves and seeded it with the life they took from their previous stop, millions of species were planted in their new world, and then modified in various ways.
One of these, and eventually the most successful, would be known in another world as the Maiasaur, a generally placid family of herbivores, the formed strong communal bonds and gravitated towards group action, they became the masters of the world but were always aware of their origins thanks to a kind of genetic memory implanted by the Elders, every Maia grew up knowing they weren't native to their Home, and that the Elders had changed them in many ways. Technological progress was rapid, but their exploration never got out of their system until they discovered the Elder datacore, a relic forgotten(or purposefully left behind) that contained the secrets of Trans-Newtonian technology and theories of interstellar travel utilizing wormholes.
