Summary
The Gaunt are a Former Hivemind race from the Scutum-Centaurus Arm of the Milky way. They were first discovered in 2230, and were immediately hostile upon first contact with the Galactic Federation.

Origins
The Gaunt come from an unknown system somewhere in the Scutum-Centaurus Arm, and were one of the only races who fought the Precursors, and the only ones who actually had a good chance of winning against them. its unknown how old their people are, but what we do know is that around 400,000 years ago, they came into contact with the precursors, and immediately tried to commit genocide on their creators. Shocked by this, the Precursors began a quarantine protocol on the surrounding star clusters, and strengthened this security system after finding out that they assimilated neighboring races.

Creation War
Sometime around 350,000 years ago, the Gaunt broke containment and spread rapidly throughout their arm of the galaxy, and the precursors began to try to re-contain them. This started the Creation War, in which the Gaunt commited genocide on the Precursors, and technically succeeded. Around 210,000 years ago, the Precursors were able to gain the upper hand after killing the original central hivemind, and were able to contain the remaining Gaunt in their home system, hoping that they would die off and the galaxy would go back to normal. Eventually, between 200,000 and 50,000 years ago, the Precursors supposedly went extinct due to the severe blow to their empire, and the Gaunt began preparing. finally, around 1,000 years ago, they broke containment and spread across the galaxy at a slower rate, as they were severely weakened after the death of the Central Hive.
