Engineer
The Engineers, also known as Pilots (after the individual discovered on LV-426), Space Jockeys, Ossians[citation needed] or Mala'kak, are an ancient extraterrestrial species of unknown origin. They possess some of the most advanced technology in the entire galaxy, with special emphasis placed on their skills in Genetic Engineering. Credited with the creation of mankind, Engineers are believed to have been beneficent creators of sorts who sailed the stars terraforming primordial celestial bodies and seeding them with the foundations of biological life. As such, they are revered by some as gods by the species they created. it is also possible that the Synthetics are one of their creations and even possibly their artificial clones with DNA template.
