It is still unknown to date how evolution allowed it or where the species originated if it really came from a specific planet, but the Varansel have been one of the greatest mysteries and at the same time astronomical wonders discovered in the known space for being one of the few living beings known so far capable of living in the vacuum of space and being able to move at speeds equivalent to the hypervelocity of the engines of terrestrial and alien ships every time they seek to migrate.

They are large beings between 80 and 130 meters long, although it may vary as they have been sighted specimens of larger sizes, with a jaw segmented in two, four linear eyes of 8 visual panels each, thick and tough skin with a texture similar to marble or smooth stone and somewhat flexible when forced, capable of resisting without problems entering and leaving the atmosphere of a planet with conditions similar to Earth without any kind of combustion or burns, with shiny purple, blue and green tones that sometimes make them go unnoticed among spaces close to nebulae and skies with aurora borealis, having 6 flexible appendages similar to fins and tentacles that allow them to move in their environment, with retractable fibers at their tips that serve to channel and expel the energy they need to perform their own natural hypervelocity jumps, as their body is capable of metabolizing Kestyern crystals and ionic waste consumed in comets in addition to the minerals they contain, although once they descend to a planet they have also been seen to absorb gases from clouds and eat some vegetation as long as it contains chlorophyll.

They use all their extended appendages with the fibers grouped in internal plates while in their spine the accumulated energy generates a glow in the appendages and the spine as a signal that their jump is ready, and when they make it they leave behind a light trail of Kestyern and ion residues before disappearing and arriving in a matter of minutes and hours to another point of the galaxy as the great ships of the intelligent species would do, looking for comets to feed on and planets with tolerable atmosphere where they can rest for moments, and it is estimated that their life span can be from 300 to 500 years.

Despite how majestic these great beings could be, they were among the main fatalities during the first war against the Technofragna millions of years ago, because although the alliance of species already knew of their existence and studied them from time to time in the least hostile way possible, the unstoppable parasite once it managed to get out of its frozen prison on its desolate planet, in addition to using ships to continue spreading began to infect the Varansel, in addition to using the ships of the alliance to continue spreading, they began to infect the Varansel, the poor giants, being only wild animals living in the void, in a short time succumbed to the degeneration and control of the Technofragna that now taking control of their bodies in an insatiable hunger for flesh and metal, were sent to impact planets and stations and continue to spread their virus and forms of infection throughout the galaxy, so in their desperation and paranoia at the increasingly rapid spread of Technofragna, the Alliance opted for a drastic measure before they could complete the construction of the Bastion, to annihilate all Varansels within reach of inhabited planets, since it was not certain which were already infected and which were not, committing the genocidal action that years later would be catalogued as a Cosmic Sin.

The Varansel were almost driven to extinction by the Alliance in those years, which also did not prevent the Technofragna from continuing to expand more rapidly until finally the Bastion was activated, leaving the other species with the idea for thousands of years that the Varansel were already extinct along with the other planets that were ravaged by the parasite. However, on the distant and mysterious planet Vangelis where a being of the same primordial species of Allera known as Nebulus was awakening from a great lethargy because his ship had crashed on that planet where he began to establish his resources and investigate before leaving, calling his attention a large floating creature that came to the planet in search of food and issuing a communication call that unfortunately would never be answered, It was the last of the Varansel, which Nebulus having studied and discovered their cruel fate decided to take their DNA to try to create new embryos to save the species, achieving success in a short time thanks to its advanced technology and allowing this new generation of Varansel go to the stars, in the hope that the galaxy was now safe and the other species would not attack them again.

Thousands of years later in our times, with the expansion of the Conglomerate across the planet Earth Shinnok was sure that the wormhole he created near the atmosphere had managed to kill the major defenders of the planet including the Sagittarius Defenders, not knowing that Jarren and his team had only been expelled to a distant point in deep space and still having Jace their Atilkian, they would try with the few forces they had left to return home to end the war, wandering through space blindly without knowing which direction to take more than some sites marked on the star map of Hace until they ran into a group of Varansel that despite being peaceful saved them from a small fleet of the Conglomerate, and following their migratory route guided them to Vangelis as if by fate, because thanks to reach this planet they could have the key to the Bastion that Nebulus had to change the genetic commands and the way to return to Earth, being key to end the conflict shortly after.

Despite the stories that the team told about their experiences in space after the war ended, both the Garlesh and other species little believed them that they had seen Varansels alive, but once all the species could return to their normal life after recovering from the war they found that indeed the species had been saved thanks to Nebulus and was discovered and officially cataloged by the Earth Union in the mid 2060s, being now catalogued by the allied species as universal patrimony that should be protected and studied peacefully, because besides being one of the greatest unknowns discovered in the galaxy, they are simple living beings trying to live in freedom in their environment.
