In the distant past, the Cassarians were a highly-advanced civilization.

Cassinite accelerated technological development by immense leaps, allowing for travel throughout the known galaxy and beyond. However, as Cassinite reserves depleted, a mass exodus ensued. Despite the certainty of a difficult life, a small portion of the population remained, determined to preserve their home planet Cassara.
